September Scripture:  Please go over scripture each week with the motions.  They really do learn it!  Click here for the motions  "Be strong and courageous.  Do not be afraid...for the Lord, your  God goes with you." Deuteronomy 31:6.

Prayer time- #1 in our top 10:   Don't forget about prayer time sometime in the hour! Ask the kids what you can pray about and lead them in prayer. 

Bible Story:  (found under Make it True) Again.  There are Bible story pictures you can print out on the web curriculum-under week 4.  This one might also be told from a Bible book with pictures if you want.  THis is an easy story to tell if you wanted to set up blocks and kids can march around. 

Activities:  My favorites for this week---I have added a link to show how you could make paper horn for the kids to blow.  

GAMES:

• Pick a card activity. This activity reinforces the number concept of the story.
• Brick Wall- you can use wooden blocks we have.  We can pull some into your room. 

CRAFTS: 

• Building Beans -children affix beans onto the Jericho wall.  
• Make a toy horn-click the link here.  This is not part of the curriculum, but I thought a toy horn would be fun to make and use in telling the story.  The children could blow the horns at the right part of the story.

TABLE ACTIVITY:

• Find the story-This would be a fun activity around snack time.  Use the printed sheet from the activity pages to review the story and have the kids find the answers on the page.
