January scripture:  Please go over scripture each week with the motions 
"The crowds were amazed at his teachings." Matthew 7:28 click here for scripture motions.

Prayer Time: #1 in our top 10:   Ask the kids what you can pray about and lead them in prayer about their personal requests.

Bible Story: (found under Make it True ) Instead of a globe or a heart pillow you could print out pictures or bring any props from home.  Easy story and a good one to talk about after Christmas-- as Jesus is growing up. 

  Activities:  (Make it Stick and Make it Fun) Plenty of great options.

• Circle of Questions- easy no props.  Uses tape on the floor
• Look alike- use the game cards from the activity pages.
• Jesus is amazing -Maze sheet from activity pages. 
• I am amazing-fun easy game, no props either.
• Ask Jesus- this game could be more challenging as they have to think of ideas, but it would be a good one!
