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 )  The story this week is simple but bringing in some of the suggested props will make it easy to tell!  Props can be as simple as printed pictures or anything you have around your home.  I also have a story book you can read to the kids called Can I pray with my eyes open?   We can share the book between the rooms.
 
 Activities:  (Make it Stick and Make it Fun)

• Sing with me and What is that sound- These are both activities that reinforce the concept of listening. Easy to do. You could come up with your own sounds to play from things in the room.  I have musical instruments and drums I can get you. 
• Time to pray-a group activity that you can use to teach the ideas of when we can pray to God.  I can make copies for you.
