April  Scripture: "Go and make disciples of all nations." Matthew 28:19..  Remember to review the scripture with the children each week (motions are in the curriculum under make it true section.)

Bible Story:  (found under Make it True)I am going to provide a copied story for you to use.  Please review curriculum and insert some interactive moments into the story.  I think this will be easier then just following  the curriculum story.  It had too many props/actors, etc.  Think about making a set of paper chains for each child to chain their hands together and then they can break free when it gets to that part of the story,

Activities (Make it fun, Make it stick): thoughts on a few I liked....

• All Nations-I have a world map that you can use.  This looks fun and really drives home the point of the whole world knowing about Jesus. 
• Go and Tell Craft-Easy craft.  I can copy the sheet in color for you and provide the blue and green tissue paper. 
• Make Paper Chains Craft-This is not in the curriculum, but I thought it could be fun.  Teachers would have to staple or tape the chains onto the children's wrists and then they could break them to show how Peter's chains fell off.  
• Jail Time-This London Bridge game is cute and drives home the scripture.

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