Bible Story: (found under Make it True ) Story:We have been talking about David all month.  David is a young boy who grows up to be a shepherd and then is annointed king when he is older. This week he fights the giant Goliath.  David loved God and knew that God would always help him. God helps us do BIG things.  Make sure to reconnect the stories of David from earlier this month and then tell the Goliath story.  I have a large picture book you can use if you like!

Activities:  (Make it Stick and Make it Fun)Great games to choose from this week! Have fun!

• Best shot and bean bag game-we have bean bags and all different size buckets you can use. 
• How tall are you- this activity has been a hit in the past.  You can use some white butcher block paper and even hang it in the hallway.  The kids love to look at the results!
• Play-doh stones- We have play-doh in the room you are welcome to use and the kids can take their stones home.  We have snack size baggies as well.
• Rock painting-This would also be fun.  We have a bucket of stones believe it or not.  I would start painting at the beginning to give them ample time to dry.  You could send the stones home on paper plates.

Bible Story: (found under Make it True ) Story: David is anointed King as a young child.   You might have one of the kids be David as you tell the story.  We have crowns you can use also. Also, you could  have 7 children stand up and then sit down.  You could cut out a small red heart to tape onto someone to show God looks at our heart.  

Activities:  (Make it Stick and Make it Fun)Many activities to choose from.  I can hardly touch on them all.  I will highlight a few:

• 7 X's-no props, easy to do and prepares the kids for the #7 in the story.
• Guess who- a "selection" game that would show kids how Samuel had to keep eliminating and looking for the king.
• Find it-could modify and do your own seek and find game. We have crowns. 
• God helps me-I love this table activity as it shows kids exactly how God can help them. We have cardstock to make copies.
