Scripture Motions for May
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 ) Not a common story but a good one. The curriculum leads you well. You could print out some pictures if you think you need. (Maybe a centurion, maybe a house to show the man was back at the house, etc.) The theme is: The centurion talked to Jesus in person and we can still talk to him through prayer.
Activities: (Make it Stick and Make it Fun)-
- Soldier buddies-Easy table activity
- Shields and Let's Talk- craft activities.
- Follow the leader or Simon says-These two games aren't in the curriculum but they would be fun to play and would highlight the theme of listening/leading, etc.

under Make it True ) This week's story tells how Jesus chose the disciples and they went and told others about Jesus. I will have an 11 X 17 picture of Jesus and the disciples for you to show. I also have a fabulous story book called I have a job to do. It is a great story about how kids have a job to share Jesus. You could read at some point in the morning as well.
Activities: (Make it Stick and Make it Fun)-
- Games to play:
- Grab a friend, Whisper Game, Tell me about it-All three of these are easy games to play and require no props! Good ways to reinforce the story idea.

(construction worker, fireman, coach, etc.) I do have a set of colored pictures that would also be available to tell the story if you would prefer that. Let me know.
Activities: (Make it Stick and Make it Fun)-
Please Note: For some reason I don't have the electronic version of the activity pages for this lesson. Please see my notes on the activities.
- Bingo-All kids love Bingo and this is a fun one. We can find bingo markers in the supply room or they can even use goldfish! I have the Bingo games already printed and bagged up for each classroom if you want it.
- Toilet paper and Band aids- Another easy and fun activity. They can practice what it's like to help other people.
- **Order the pictures (table activity)- This is not in the curriculum, but one I have kept over the years. The children cut out the picture squares and then put them in order: 1,2,3,4 based on the sequence of the story. Then they glue the pictures down. I will have copies ready Sunday if you need.
