Over the last several months we taught our kiddos about the life of Jesus from the cradle to the cross. In this lesson, we review the good news about Jesus, and introduce the word gospel into our preschoolers' vocabulary. We even sneak in some beginning geography skills! Bible Truth: Jesus teaches me to share the gospel. Bible Story: Before Jesus went back to heaven, He told His friends to preach the gospel. Bible Study: Matthew 28:18-19; Mark 16:15; Acts 1:1-8; Romans 1:16-17 teach show and TELL An inflatable globe is a great, preschool-friendly visual. Both the visual and tactical elements help develop some of a child's first geographical concepts. Since the children can safely handle the globe, it can also be used in games like the one I describe below. I picked mine up from Hobby Lobby for under $10. Holding my Bible open, I explain that before Jesus went back to heaven, He commanded us to go into all the world and preach the gospel. Then, I hold up the globe as we talk about the world. I point out where we live, and point out a few other continents or countries, especially those where we have missionaries that we support. I point out that the blue parts are water, and the other colored parts are land where people live. I explain that Jesus wants everyone in the whole world to hear the gospel and know that He loves them. An echo microphone brings a fun audio element to this lesson. I speak into it as I teach the meaning of the word gospel. The gospel is the good news about Jesus! I hold up a picture or object to illustrate each point of the good news. Jesus came to save us. Jesus died on the cross for our sin. Jesus is alive. Jesus is making a home for us in heaven. Jesus loves you. Then, I give each child a turn to stand up and use the microphone to say, "Jesus loves you!" Older children may have more to say about Jesus. read "I've Got a Job To Do" by Dandi Daley Mackall - Through the daily life of a little girl, the author demonstrates practical ways to share the gospel at school, dance class, the beach, and everywhere we go. The title of the book is a refrain that is repeated in each scenario, as the little girl shares the love of Jesus with everyone around her. "Every Child Everywhere" by Debby Anderson - I'm a huge fan of Debby Anderson's books. Endearing photography and illustrations of children from many countries, along with the message of God's love for them, help little ones understand that there are children all over the world who need to know the good news about Jesus. sing Go! from Little Praise Party: Happy Day Everyday is a fun upbeat song about going into all the world to tell the good news. You could teach the song to the children with simple actions, use it as a puppet song, or use it in the game as I describe below. Jesus Loves the Little Children from Veggie Tales is another great song for this lesson. I like this version because it includes the lyrics, "Jesus came to save the children..." play around the world This is another scripture pass game, similar to ones I have described before. Gather the children to sit in a circle. Play the song, "Go!" from above as they pass around the inflatable globe. Randomly pause the music. The child holding the globe when the music stops, stands up. Hold the echo microphone for each of you to speak into as they repeat Mark 16:15 after you, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel." Play the music, and continue passing the globe. craft the good news gospel Children will share the gospel as they talk about each picture on this activity page. You will need: this activity page (globe graphics included) scissors glue sticks crayons optional stickers and craft items To prepare, print out the activity page and cut out enough globe graphics for each child. In class, help children glue their globe to the circle on the activity page. Provide crayons for children to color, You may consider adding various craft items stickers, or cutouts that you have on hand to the graphics. For example: heart stickers to the heart, foamie crosses to the cross, and/or sequins to the heaven graphic, etc. gospel megaphone Here is a simple craft, with a fun way to practice the memory verse. You will need: colorful paper cups pipe cleaners a razor blade this scripture print out scissors glue stickers To prepare, use the razor blade to cut out the bottoms of the cups. Print, and cut out the scripture tags. Use the razor blade or other sharp object to poke holes in the cup, and cut the pipe cleaners in half. In class, help the children assemble their megaphones. Insert the ends of the pipe cleaners into the holes you made, and bend the ends inside the cup. Glue the scripture tags to the megaphones, and provide stickers to decorate. Practice saying the memory verse using their megaphones. globe mosaic This low-prep mosaic craft is a great visual reminder of this lesson, and promotes beginning geography skills as preschoolers create land masses separated by water. This is an open-ended craft (my favorite!), however I suggest making an example first to demonstrate to the children how to create land masses separated by water like you see on the globe. You will need: blue paper plates green construction paper this scripture print out glue (see this suggestion for using glue!) smiley stickers hole punch ribbon To prepare, print and cut out the scripture tags. You may choose to tear pieces of construction paper ahead of time, or if time allows, give the children strips of green paper to tear in class. In class, provide glue sticks for the children to glue down their mosaic pieces and their scripture tags. Add smiley stickers, representing different people all over the world that need to hear the gospel. Punch a hole at the top of the plate, and add a ribbon to hang. (Or in my case, the other half of the pipe cleaner that just happened to be sitting on my desk. Ha!) See this post for more ideas to teach your child at home about sharing the gospel of Jesus!

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
