Bible Story: (found under Make it True )
The story this week is a review of all the stories of the month.  You use the activity pictures to tell the story and you can modify this story telling however you want.  I think the kids will enjoy recalling the pieces and parts of the story.  (See the activity cards for the memory match game that have story pictures on them.)
 
Activities:  (Make it Stick and Make it Fun)

There are quite a few different games.  You could have the kids rotate around and play different ones.  (i.e. the bean bag game, the matching game, etc.)  There really isn't a "craft" for this lesson.  

• Memory match game:  use activity cards.
• Bean Bag game:  I can copy these cards for you to use in this game and we have plenty of bean bags.
• What's in the box:   Maybe use a drawstring bag of some sorts instead of a box. Kids love this kind of game.  
• Shepherd, shepherd: There is nothing more fun than playing a hide and seek game. Of course I have sheep!
