Day 4
The Good Shepherd loves me!
Active
Learning Time
·
Have some stuffed animal sheep, along with some
blankets. Encourage the children to pretend to be sheep parents and care for
their baby lambs.
·
Lead the children in a game of hide and seek
with one of the stuffed sheep. Get one of the kids to hide their eyes(or leave
the room) so that you can hide the sheep. Let the other children coach the
child looking for the lost sheep with hot/ cold clues. When they find the sheep
have them give the found sheep a big hug to show how happy they are to have
found it.
Carpet Learning Time
Call each child by name to join you on the carpet for story
time.
How many of you love ice cream? (allow for response) If I gave you a really yummy ice cream cone
with three whole scoops of chocolate ice cream, and then just when you went to
lick something happened to make the whole ice cream cone fall to the ground
How would you feel? (Allow
for response)
Yeah I would be really sad to if that happened to me. Did you know that Jesus the good shepherd
loves us so much that when we feel sad, that he feels sad too?
How many of you love to play outside?(allow for response)
Do you like it when you get really sick and your parents
make you stay inside for days and days? (allow
for response) How do you feel when
that happens? (Sad, grumpy, angry)
Did you know that even when we are grumpy or angry Jesus the
Good Shepherd wants to help us and stay close to us?
When we feel happy, Jesus the Good Shepherd is happy with us
because he loves us.
Now I want to read you a book about Jesus the Good Shepherds
love. (read book)
Now let’s all stand in place and review our Bible verse
again!
He tends his flock
(Put
hands like you are patting sheep on the head)
Like a shepherd
(Make
shepherd staff with hand)
He gathers the lambs in his arms
(Motion
like you are gathering a lamb into your arm)
And carries them close to his heart
(Put
both hands on your heart)
