Bible Story: (found under Make it True ) Jesus calms the storm when his friends- the disciples- got very scared on the boat.  The Bible story has you assigning different parts for the kids to act out.  You might need a sheet for a prop.  Fun story to tell-It's been a month of water stories!

Thoughts on a few of the activities for this week:

• Streamer Storm- Can use craft sticks for this.  We have crepe paper streamers. 
• On the Lake- We have some fuzzy balls you can use if you bring a sheet.
• Chalk pictures- This is easy and cute.  We have chalk as well as black construction paper and can make copies on Sunday morning for you.  

Activites that need just a bit of preparation but are fun:

•  Storm Bottles- If you purchase some kroger water bottles and vegetable oil we can reimburse you.  We have blue food coloring here.  Janet and I have cut out foam boats and put them in these bottles.  We could cut the foam on Sunday morning. Kids love this.
•  Storm Cookies-Purchase some cookies and icing and swedish fish and you have a fun storm cookie.  PLEASE POST A NOTE ABOUT SERVING A SPECIAL SNACK if you plan to do this.

• Sink or Float-This is a good visual for kids.  We have bins here you could use for the water and bring some of your own trinkets from home to sink and/or float.

Bible Story: (found under Make it True ) Jesus goes fishing with His friends.  When they didn't catch a lot of fish he told them to throw the nets out one more time.  The nets then overflowed.  The Bible story idea is fun this week.  They put together a whole skit, but you could modify and just have your teacher draw out the story as you tell it.  You could give her a few hints ahead, but this might be a different, fun way to tell the story.  You could use poster board or butcher paper.  

Activities:  (Make it Stick and Make it Fun)

Thoughts on a few of the activities for this week:

• Let's go fishing- Cute fun game you could create in the room on a simpler basis.
• Fish in the net and Full of fish are both fun easy activities.
• We have: blue tissue, card stock, gold fish, and alcohol paints.
