What I love about the meeting of Peter and Jesus on the beach in John 21 is that Peter is given a chance to start again- his three denials of Jesus mirrored by the three times he tells Jesus that he loves him. This prayer activity helps to emphasise the idea of the new starts that Jesus can give to us all so that we too can go out and reach others for him. You will need: two containers- one holding a mixture of vinegar and salt (about a cup of vinegar to a tablespoon of salt) and one holding water. Old, stained copper coins. Give each child a coin and ask them to think about parts of their life where they might have let others down or would like a new start. Put each coin in the container of vinegar and salt. Let them say sorry to God in their heads if they would like to. Put on the lid and shake (some of the coins will start to clean up even before you put the lid on!) Thank Jesus for forgiveness and new starts. Take off the lid and transfer the coins to the water to wash off the vinegar. Let each child take a coin away as a reminder of the new start Jesus gives. As an extension you might ask the children to give their coin to another person and to pray that that person will get a new start with Jesus.
This seems like quite a complicated craft, but it's worth it, even if it's just used by the leader as a storytelling aid! I've tried to show step by step what to do... It's probably best to stick all of the pieces onto card to start off with as this will make it more sturdy- either that or print onto card! If you do this, you will still need the A5 piece of card (see instructions) Print off the sheet with all the sections on it... Cut all the sections out (including the blank middle 'window' on the main section). Get a piece of A5 sized card and trim it to fit the width of the flames section. Stick the flames section to the top of the card. Fold the main section along the fold line and fit the fold over the top of the card. Glue the back section down. Place the tab section over the flames... (don't stick it down!) Fold the top of the main section over the card and stick it down, leaving room around the 'window' for the tab to be pulled backwards and forwards. Draw 'wind' shapes on the tab (in the Bible it only talks about the sound of a wind, but I'm using some artistic license!) Pull the tab to reveal the flames above the disciples' heads!

Jesus Chooses His 12 Disciples Kids Spot The Difference
Under 5s love to explore stories through play so here are some ideas to help with the story of Jesus turning water into wine! Use some glitter and water to make red and blue reflection bottles and play with red and blue ribbon streamers (blue for the water and red for the wine!) Have some water play (ever popular!) Play some party games and/or make some party hats to reflect the idea of the celebration of the wedding... Play with pretend foods, cups, plates etc to add to the party feel. Act out the story with bible story figures. Secretly add some red food colouring to the bottom of a jug, then, with the children watching, pour a bottle of flavoured water into the jug. They will see the water change colour as it goes into the jug! Use food colouring to colour some water (make the colour quite strong). Give each child two sheets of absorbent kitchen roll (one on top of the other to make a double layer), then let them use droppers to make some 'wine and water' artwork!
I used this idea in an assembly yesterday, focussing on people we trust and what it means to trust God. This would work really well if you are exploring miracle stories or stories about trust. Suitable verses to use with it might be: Joshua 1:9: Remember, I commanded you to be strong and brave. Don’t be afraid, because the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Psalm 56: 3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. John 14: 1 Jesus said, “Don’t be troubled. Trust in God, and trust in me I have to admit that this trick is not an original idea. I found the trick in this book: Simple Science Object Talks by Heno Head Jnr and would definitely recommend getting cold of a copy if you can! You will need: A glass of water (about half- 2/3 filled) and an index card. This is what you do: place the index card over the top of the glass, making sure that the whole of the rim is covered by it, and press down. Hold onto the top of the card with one hand and move your other hand down the glass, towards the bottom of it. Carefully flip the glass upside down, making sure you keep holding the card in place. You may get a TINY bit of drip page at this point, but don't panic! Now slowly move your card holding hand out from underneath and the card should stick, holding the water at bay! I love using science in assemblies because it is generally fool-proof, as long as you have a little practice first. I got a teacher in the assembly to sit at the front and asked if they trusted me to turn the glass of water upside down on top of their head? Even if I covered it with the card? They were not too eager! I then performed the science and it went down very well! We talked about the fact that what was holding the card in place was the air pressure pressing upwards (stronger than gravity pressing downwards). Please forgive my scientific explanations- they are not my strong suit! We can't see the air pressure but we know it must be working or the water would drop out. We can't see God but we know that he is there holding us up and supporting us too. The teacher might not have wanted to trust me, but I knew what I was doing and God knows what He is doing! Talk about: What is trust? Who do you trust and why? Have you ever trusted God? When might you need to God? Encourage children to all have a go at he trick, but make sure you have something ready to collect the drips just in case!
Here is the take home sheet for our 7-11s group this week. We're looking this term at the sermon on the mount and this week the topic is love! This is a game to help children to learn the memory verse. Written down, the rules seem complicated, but when you play the game it's easy to understand! Cut out the net and make the cube up. Print out a copy here. Play with a partner To start you must throw face 1 (the first part of the verse). Partner A throws the cube. If they do not land on face 1, they will have to throw again on their next turn! Partner B then has a turn. The object of the game is to 'earn' each part of the verse in the correct order and to write it down. After face 1, the task is to throw face 2 and then face 3 and so on. Landing on face 5 after face 2, for example, does not count as this is not the correct order! The winner is the first person to write down the verse in the correct order.

I've been away for a while moving house but now I am back online! Here is a colourful activity to help children celebrate God's love for us and for others and to help them think about how this love links us together. I found a tutorial here for a chain of hearts craft and it made me think of how we could use the idea with children... Cut out several coloured hearts of the same size. Fold the hearts in half and cut out the middle sections- you can discard these or use them for something else! Open out the hearts Make a cut, like so, at the side of each heart. Link the hearts together by overlapping the cut edges and gluing them (a bit like making a paper chain). Attach a piece of ribbon to one of the end hearts and hang on a door knob! Things to talk about and use for prayer... talk about God's love for everyone and how He wants us to show love to others Children could write names of people on the hearts who they would like to know God's love Children could write names of family members/ friends on the hearts or choose a different colour to represent each person and pray that they will experience God's love in the coming week Children could write on the hearts things that God has made or done that show how much he loves us/ them in particular (especially any answered prayers!) the different coloured hearts show that we are all different, but we are all joined together by the fact that God loves us!

This is a fun, visual way to pray, and illustrates God's power and desire to hear our prayers. You will need: small pieces of tissue paper, pens, a balloon, hair or a woolly jumper! Ask children who or what they would like to pray for and then ask them to choose a colour of tissue paper to reflect that person or thing. They can write or draw on their tissue piece if they want to. Either in pairs or small groups, take it in turns to rub the balloon on a woolly jumper or on (their own!) hair. This will build up some static on the balloon! Talk about giving our prayers to God and asking Him to show his power in each situation. Children can hold their tissue prayer close to the balloon and watch as it is pulled onto the balloon and sticks there. Pray that, as the paper sticks to the balloon, God will hold all of our prayers and that we will see his power at work.
Story Stones are a great way to help children to interact with the stories we tell them. Symbols and pictures on the stones help us to tell the story and then children can use the stones to retell or interact with different elements of what they've heard. They have so much potential! Making story stones can seem a bit of a chore, though, if painting is not your thing or if you just don't have a lot of time. Here is a possible solution... The end result might not be as pretty as hand-painted stones, but they do the job! Print out the sheet of pictures (click here), cut out and stick onto stones (flat, polished stones work best). Now you are good to go! As you can see, the sheet has stones to help tell several Bible stories so there is plenty of opportunity to test them out. Let me know how it goes if you decide to test them out!
As the children really enjoyed the reflective painting prayer station we had last term, I've made some colouring sheets that can be done individually. The Lord's Prayer (printable version here) And Matthew 22:37 (printable version here) Have fun!
Here are some ideas for exploring this passage... This session was used with a group of children ranging in age from 2-10 so there are lots of hands on things to do! Memory verse hunt: Cut out the words of the memory verse below and hide words around the room. Everyone will know that you are my followers if you love each other. John 13: 35 Children find words and have to make the verse when all words have been collected. Make up actions to try and remember the verse. Make bookmarks using the memory verse. Make hearts using thumbprints Talk about: What is love? Talk about love for friends and family. How do we show that we love each other? Jesus showed love for Peter. Even though Peter denied him, Jesus forgave him and gave him a job to do and Peter went on to do great work for God (we had been looking at some stories involving Peter in the previous weeks, so the children would have been familiar with his story) Who loves you? How do you know? Why would we want people to know that we are Jesus' followers? Make: Some of the things the Bible says love is... protecting not selfish trusting hopeful kind patient not jealous keeps trying Make a mobile using these words and any others you can think of to do with showing love to others. Other ideas: Sewing hearts with wool. Tissue paper heart collage Pray: Spreading Hearts Prayer (click on the link for details!)
In our journey through the Old Testament this term, we have made it to David and Goliath. We focussed this session on the idea of God doing amazing things and helping us when we trust him. After telling the story we decorated some stones, to remember how David used something so small to make such a big impact. Children then had lots of options to play around the themes of the story: Using jigsaws and containers to explore big and small things... ...and walking around on giant cardboard feet (they loved this!) The children could practice their throwing at the bean bag targets... ...and have a go with the paper ball catapults. Click here to see the original idea. We also had a lovely fluffy sheep to play with! To finish, we prayed with a bubble sword. The sword is a symbol of God's power to help us. As the children popped the bubbles we asked God to help us be brave like David, and trust in Him.
This week one of our focus stories is the Prodigal Son. The main point we want to get across is that God loves us and wants to be involved in our lives. This is a craft we will be doing with our 3-5s group on Sunday and also with the 5-7s group at our school lunchtime club. It takes a bit of preparing but looks good! Cut a heart shape from the centre of a piece of paper (we used A5 size). Don't throw the hearts away as you can use them for cards later! Write "God loves me" on the paper. Stick a sheet of sticky back plastic over the top of the side with writing on it. Turn the sheet over and stick little pieces of tissue paper onto the sticky side of the heart shape. When finished, stick to a window so that the sun can shine through it! Children will probably choose their favourite colours to decorate the heart, so this is a good opportunity to talk about how people are all different but God loves us all!
Today we went into school to do a SEALS assembly about 'getting on and falling out'. We decided to focus on the story of Saul and David in the cave, where David chooses not to kill Saul, but just to cut off a piece of his cloak to prove what he could have done but chose not to. We then talked to the children about what it's like when people upset us and we get angry and want to fight back. This is the illustration we used... You will need two jars or bottles with lids, white vinegar, water and bicarbonate of soda. Put neat vinegar in one jar and a mix of vinegar and water in another jar Talk about what it is like when people make you angry. Add half a teaspoon of bicarb to the water/ vinegar jar. The mixture will fizz a little but nothing more. Put a lid on the jar. Next, put a spoonful of bicarb in the vinegar jar and add another spoonful as well. The mixture will fizz up and explode out of the jar (best to keep the jars on a tray to collect the fizzy liquid! Explain that the second jar shows what happens when someone makes us angry and we fight back, adding more to the mix until the situation explodes out of control. David chose not to do this at this point in the story. He chose to be a better person than Saul, to do the clever thing and the thing that Jesus tells us to do- to turn the other cheek. He didn't fight back against Saul and kill him, instead he chose to try and keep a lid on the situation by doing the right thing. He could have easily turned to violence but he made a choice not to and in our relationships we have to make similar choices. We finished with a testimony about how God had given one of us strength not to fight back and then helped the children to reflect on how they could be strong in similar situations.

Looking for some fun lessons for teaching children (and getting them excited!) about Jesus, can kind of be difficult. Especially when you have children in your classroom that can range in age from three months to almost 6th grade. I found this on Pinterest- Fizzy Forgiveness Prayer Station. What I really loved about this was the fact that you can take something relatively easy to find (fizzy tablets) and turned it into something really cool! Kids LOVE fizz. Even I as an adult, feel child like exuberance when I see fizz. There is something just so awesome about effervescence. I took this fizz idea and made it my own. Sometimes to come up with a cool idea, we just need a little help from above-and others! My lesson was to teach children about prayer. I don't think you can stress enough, the importance of building a strong relationship with our Lord. Prayer does this along with reading His word. Welcome to the lesson of: "Jesus Gets Excited When You Pray!" I used 1 Timothy 2:1-6 (NLT). I wanted to stress that Jesus hears all prayers, not just prayers that come from adults, and we should pray for everyone! Also, I wanted the children to understand what praying actually means. I looked up and printed out the definition, and some easier words, to help describe what it means to pray. After we took turns reading and discussion what prayer means and how it applies to the verse I showed the kids what happens when we pray. I used two glasses and filled them with some regular tap water and for extra "fizz" some sparkling water. I went to our local City Market and bought these Alka Seltzer generic tablets. We got 30 tables for roughly $2. I wanted to make sure we had enough for two child, at the very least. I allowed the children to pick what color we would make the water-they chose green, purple. My children at home chose orange. I had them gather around and I said, "Tell me how this makes you feel." I dropped a tablet into the water and it immediately began to fizz. The excitement on their faces was extremely evident and also, they said it was pretty cool. I asked them if it was exciting to watch the fizz, and they all said, "Yes!" I told them, that every time we pray to Jesus, that's how he feels. He feels excited, because we're building a relationship with him. We're talking to him, we're including him in our lives. Jesus loves us so much and he wants to be a part of our lives. I handed each kid two tablets (there are two in each pack) and said that each one of us could pray together for someone or about something in their lives. I also gave them personal discretion that if they didn't feel comfortable praying out loud, we would just pray in agreement silently with them. To watch the kids pray with excitement was just amazing! I know it partly had to do with the fizzy tablets they got to play with, but we also got to watch them gain understanding that praying is a good thing. Praying can be fun! If it's fun to go to the movies, shouldn't it be fun to spend time praying to God too? I think so! Also, I told the kids, after we had gotten into a few prayers, that we needed to be quiet and listen. They could hear the fizzing noise in action. I said sometimes that's how God works. He answers our prayers, but sometimes we have to be quiet and listen. God is a gentleman and he never forces us to do anything. At the end of the class, I allowed the kids to save up their fizzes and they all dropped their remaining ones in together to see if they could over flow the water (which of course they managed to do! I'm pretty sure that was the one silent prayer we had!!). We finished up the lesson with another coloring page from TwistyNoodle! I mentioned them before in our Lamb of God lesson we did over Resurrection Sunday. I hope you found this fun and can some how use it to teach your kids about how awesome and amazing Jesus Christ is! Just an FYI-I have a few left over tablets and I kept the orange glass out for our kids, and when they pray I let them drop a fizz into the water. Make sure to monitor your kids too! If you use the alka seltzer tablets, make sure they don't eat them or drink the water that you use. I'm not sure what exactly could happen, but we don't need to try to imagine it either! Have fun sharing and learning about God! I'd love to hear your ideas or how you've incorporated this into your own lessons and teaching! Do you follow me on Facebook? Do you follow me on Pinterest? You should! Stick around and check out some of my other blog posts! Leave a comment, too! Pin It
This is a storytelling idea that is easy, portable and flexible for many stories. You will need: 4 Card strips (judge size depending on how close the children are going to be and how big the group is. You will probably need bigger strips for a bigger group, but expriment with what works best for you!), paper fasteners (split pins), something to make a hole with. Make a hole in the end of each piece of card and join the pieces with split pins so that it looks as shown. You now have your storytelling equipment! This is how you might use the strips to tell the story of Joshua and the walls of Jericho. The walls of Jericho were closed to God's people. No one could get in or get out. The walls were very tall so no one could climb them either! God told Joshua that there was no need to worry. He would give the city to Joshua and the Israelites if they trusted Him and did what He said. God told Joshua and his army to walk around the walls once a day for six days. (Form the walls and then flatten them out 6 times) On the seventh day, God told Joshua to march his army seven times round the walls,.. ...to tell the priests to blow their trumpets and to get the people to shout as loud as they could. So Joshua and his army did all of these things. On the seventh day, after marching seven times around the walls the people shouted loudly and the trumpets blew. The walls of Jericho tumbled down! And Joshua's army knew that God was with them. Try using the cards to tell other stories and let me know how you get on!
This is a really colourful way to pray for people and situations where you'd like to see God's power breaking through. Visual pray-ers will love it! You will need: shaving foam, a tall glass, water, food colouring in two or three colours, small dishes, teaspoons or droppers. Pour a couple of tablespoons of water into each small dish. Colour each dish of water with a different food colouring. Don’t water the colouring down too much because the more intense the colouring the better! Fill the glass half way with water and squirt shaving foam to make a ‘cloud’ in the glass above it (this will probably fill the other half of the glass). Think of a person or situation you'd like to pray for and choose a colour of water you'd like to use to represent that prayer. Ask God to help them and then use a teaspoon or dropper to pour a small amount of coloured water on top of the shaving foam cloud. The colouring will slowly seep down through the spaces between the foam and the glass, and ‘rain’ down into the water. As this happens, imagine God's power breaking through and changing that situation, just as the colour is breaking through and changing the water. Repeat with other colours as you pray more prayers.
Very soon we're going to be exploring Jesus's command " You must love each other just as I loved you. All people will know that you are my ...
We begin this unit with a story of a man who had a thankful heart so that our preschoolers can see thankfulness played out in action. Bible Truth: Jesus loves a thankful heart. Bible Story: Jesus healed ten lepers, but only one said, "Thank You." Bible Study: Luke 17:11-19 sing As you are singing for worship, tell the children that when we sing to Jesus we are saying, "Thank You" to Him. Tell that today we are going to hear a story about a man who said, "Thank you" to Jesus. teach In addition to reading this story from a children's Bible storybook, here's a captivating visual to help you illustrate it. I used a pair of bath gloves, but this will work with any gloves. Cut out twenty little circles, draw happy faces on ten, and sad faces on the other ten. Hot-glue the sad faces to the back side of the gloves, and the happy faces to the palm side. Attach a Band-aid to each finger on the sad side of the glove. You will also need a little red heart. I attached a "hook" piece of Velcro to the heart. Since the Velcro hooks to the bath glove, the heart can easily be placed on and removed from the glove. Wear the gloves as you tell the story! The Bible tells us a story about ten men who were very, very sick. Let's count the men. Wiggle each finger as you count. They had a disease called leprosy. Can you say leprosy? That means they had owies all over their bodies. They wore Band-Aids everywhere to cover their owies. They were so sick, they couldn't go home to their families, and they had to stay away from people. If they touched anyone, the other person would get sick too! They went to lots of doctors, but the doctors couldn't make them better. One day they saw Jesus walking down the road, and they cried out to Him. Move the gloves to either side of your mouth as you raise your voice to "call out". "Jesus, have mercy on us! Heal us Jesus!" Do you know what Jesus did for them? He healed them! Close your hands into fists. Turn your hands and open them to show the happy side. Wow! Jesus did a miracle! He answered their prayer and he healed them! They had no more owies. Now they could go home and give their families big hugs and kisses! Move your hands as though they are running away. But one man stopped. Stop your hands. Close your fingers except one pointer finger. He went back to Jesus, bowed down, and said, "Thank You Jesus! Thank You for healing me and taking away my leprosy!" Bend your finger as if to bow. Jesus said, "I healed ten men. Why did only one come back? Where are the other nine?" Then Jesus blessed the man who remembered to say, "Thank You," because he had a thankful heart, and Jesus loves a thankful heart. Add the heart to your pointer finger. Open your hands to show the ten healed men, and only one with a thankful heart. Do you want to be like the nine men who forgot to say, "Thank You," or do you want to have a thankful heart? Yes, I want to have a thankful heart too. We can say, "Thank You" to Jesus for all the beautiful things that He created. We can thank Him for dying on the cross for us, giving us a clean heart, and giving us a home in Heaven with Him forever. Lead the children in a prayer of thanksgiving. practice For the rest of the service, as you are doing a craft, and/or eating a snack, help the children practice saying, "Please and thank you." When they remember to say, "Thank you," praise them for having a thankful heart like the man in today's story. Remind them that Jesus loves a thankful heart. read If you have a book about manners, and saying, "Please and thank you," it would be good supplement to this lesson if you have extra time at the end. craft one thankful heart For this craftivity you will need: this activity page Band-aids red paper scissors crayons glue To prepare, make double-sided copies of the activity page, and cut out a red heart for each child. In class, provide crayons for coloring. Give each child two Band-aids to stick on to the sick leper side of the activity page, and one red heart to add to one finger on the healed leper side of the activity page. thank You Jesus Print this activity page for your kids to color, and follow the coloring directions on the page. I found the original coloring page of Jesus here. It would also be fun to add a sticker to the man who is colored yellow, to help distinguish the one from other nine, especially for younger children who may not yet be ready to follow the coloring directions. As the children are coloring, count the men symbol figures with them. Count how many were healed, how many said, "Thank You," and how many forgot.

I've used cornflour and water mixtures with children in creche before and know how much they love playing with it! Having spent some time on Pinterest, I now realise that the mixture is called 'oobleck'- always good to have a name for what you are playing with! It struck me that oobleck is a really simple but effective way of helping to teach children about gentleness. The best part is that anyone can join in because oobleck appeals to everone from toddlers to adults (plus it can get a bit messy, which only adds to the appeal!) You will need: cornflour, water (roughly half as much water as cornflour) Mix the water and cornflour together and then pour the mixture out onto a tray. As the children play with the oobleck, they will notice that the slower and more gentle their actions, the more liquid the mixture is and the easier it is to move fingers through it. Hard, sharp actions, such as slapping down on top of it will meet with solid resistance! Talk about: How can we be gentle towards others in words and actions? Why might it be more helpful to be gentle with others than sharp and aggressive? What might happen to us if we try to be more gentle towards others? Pray: Encourage children to move their fingers slowly and gently through the oobleck and pray that God will help them to be more gentle towards others in words and actions in the coming week.
We love playing and using very visual ways of teaching so, as part of our lesson on the Lord's Prayer yesterday with our 3-5s, we played a matching game with some special cards. I had printed off the sheet below and coloured it in, colour photocopied it 3 times (saving a lot of time and colouring effort!), then laminated and cut the cards out. The symbols on the cards tie together with the items we had in the 'story bag' for the prayer that we were also using in that session- click here to see the contents of the bag. Click here to print a copy of the cards. We sent the sheet home with the children so that they could colour in and make their own cards. Hopefully the symbols will help them to remember the content of the different parts of the prayer! For ideas for teaching the Lord's prayer to older children click here
