Plan for Sunday Dec. 30th-Lesson 5 of 5
 

Announcements:
  • There will be music with Ms. Judy this Sunday-10:20am in rm. 107.
     
  • We will still watch the last video for your "Bible Story" this Sunday.  We will do this after music around 10:35.
 
  • The main theme of this week's lesson is that Christmas doesn't end on Christmas day.  It took the wise men many days, weeks, months, to find baby Jesus and so the story continued.  Explain to the children that we can celebrate the gift of Jesus everyday of our lives! His birth is the beginning of our celebration.

This week:  Lesson 5 of 5:The Wise Men prepare to find baby Jesus!
Monthly Scripture:  "God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son." John 3:16.  (see motions in the curriculum)  Remember to review the scripture with the children

Story:  (Make it True) This month you will you will not need to prepare anything for the story.  Please go  to room 117 (the preschool worship room) after music.  I will show the video/story and then you can return to your room for activities and prayer.

Activities

With music and the video we will have limited activity time. See my comments below:
 Star Search-This would be an easy prep and interactive game.  You could make a few stars and hide them around the room.  Travel as a group to find them.  Discuss how the wise men  had to travel.  
Best Gift story pictures-This is also an easy activity that allows the children to put together the order of the Christmas story.  I can make copies of this for you even on Sunday morning. Text me. You could even skip the gift bag and let the children just take home their own story book.  
Gift Go Round- You could modify this game in many ways.  Bring some cinnamon, good smelling perfume, lotion, and some coins.  These could each go in a bag and you could pass around and stop the musicChildren could look inside and see if they got Gold,  Frankincense, or Myrrh. You could pass again.  

Prayer time: Gather in prayer sometime throughout the morning! Ask the kids what you can pray about!
