Last week we learned to repent, and turn from our sin. This week we are moving forward, following Jesus! If you have been following the lessons here for a while, you've probably started to notice certain recurring themes. Following Jesus is one of those themes. For a preschooler, following Jesus means simple obedience. (Actually it is as simple as that for us too, we just make it more complicated.) Children who learn to obey their parents and their teachers, will have a much easier time learning to obey God as they grow into their own personal relationship with Him. In these young formative years, we are tilling the soil, and laying the groundwork of faith in their little hearts. One of the critical pieces of the foundation is obedience. There is a clear element of soul-winning and evangelism in this story, and that it is typically the context in which this story is used. Jesus calls the fishermen to leave their nets, follow Him, and become fishers of men. However, before Peter, Andrew, James and John could become fishers of men, they had to act in obedience. They obeyed the first time when Jesus told them to let down their nets, after they had been fishing all night and caught nothing. As I teach this lesson, I make a really big deal of the fact that Jesus did an amazing miracle for then when they obeyed Him! The fishermen obeyed again when Jesus told them to leave their nets and follow Him. These are the moments in the story that I highlight for my preschoolers. Obedience and the blessing that follows, are truths that they can grasp and live out in their own life today, as they learn to follow Jesus! Now let's get into the lesson, shall we?! Bible Truth: Jesus teaches me to follow Him. Bible Story: Jesus calls four fishermen to follow Him. Bible Study: Matthew 4:18-22; Mark 1:16-20; Luke 5:1-11 teach bring it to life Songs and visuals are the dynamic duo of any effective lesson for young children. Any time I can combine these two elements, I know I have a winning lesson! I gathered up some toys and such to bring this story to life. Improvise with whatever you have on hand to help illustrate this story. I used: a small kiddie pool filled with water a toy boat disciple figurines a laundry bag a Jesus visual Peter, Andrew, James and John were fishermen. There job was to catch fish with big nets. One night, they were out fishing all night, but they didn't catch even one fish. Jesus came into Peter's boat and told him to let his net down into the deep water one more time. (My Jesus visual is WAY out of proportion, haha!) Peter and his friends obeyed Jesus, and their net was so full of fish that it almost sank the boat! Jesus told the fishermen to leave their boat, nets and fish to come follow Him, and become fishers of men. That means that they would help other people follow Jesus too! disciple dozen I discovered this visual aid, via Pinterest, using an egg carton to introduce Jesus' twelve disciples. I don't use the song accompanying this visual, because my focus for this lesson is following Jesus, rather than teaching three and four year olds the names of all the disciples. The egg carton visual is a unique way to package and present the disciples. It helps the kids quantify the number twelve in their minds, and they understand who I am speaking of when we talk about the disciples in the coming weeks. sing Peter, James and John in a Sailboat/Fishers of Men is the duo part of this lesson! After telling the story, I like to review it with this song. I love the way Veggie Tales combines these two songs into a medley on their "25 Favorite Sunday School Songs" album. As we listen to the song, and sing along, I reenact the story with the visuals. play follow the leader A simple game to play with this lesson is "Follow the Leader." Say to the children, "When we follow Jesus, we learn to do what Jesus does, just like His disciples. Let's practice follow Jesus by playing 'Follow the Leader.'" Invite the children to follow you in a line around the room as you hop, "fly", tip-toe, etc. You could even set up a little obstacle course for them to follow! Jesus says "Jesus Says" is played just like "Simon Says," I suggest that when playing this game with young children, don't try to trick them by doing the action yourself even when you don't say, "Jesus says." This only confuses and frustrates them. Depending on the age and maturity of the children in your class, you may also not want to have sit down and be "out" if they do the action when "Jesus didn't say." At this age, the appeal of games is the action and participation rather than the competition. This is intended to be a fun and enjoyable activity for them! craft net full of fish For this craftivity you will need: this activity sheet bright colored paper craft sticks burlap ribbon (Found in the floral section of craft stores. I found mine for 50% off at Hobby Lobby.) scissors glue crayons To prepare, print out this activity sheet. Use the triangle patterns to cut out the sail from bright colored paper. Cut out several fish shapes for each child, and cut the burlap ribbon to the preferred size. In class, provide crayons for the children to color the activity sheet. Help them glue a colorful sail and a craft stick as a mast to the page. Give them fish to place onto the page, but don't worry about gluing these down. Help them apply glue around the burlap ribbon, and attach it to the page with the fish inside. coloring page Here is a simple coloring page to which the children could easily add fish stickers, fish cut outs, or gold fish crackers. footprint mural Trace the children's feet, cut them out, and provides supplies for them to paint and/or decorate them. Put the decorated feet up on a wall in your classroom with the heading, "We Are Following Jesus!"

1-2-3 Come Do Some Kissing Hand Activities With Me My kiddos LOVE the story The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn. Little ones identify with the anxious feelings of Chester the raccoon, when he doesn’t want to go to school. The warming kiss from his mom, resonates in comfort for them as well. With that in mind, I created a whopping 102-page Kissing Hand literacy packet. I hope you enjoy it as much as I loved designing it. The packet has a ton of super-fun activities to help reinforce a variety of standards and includes the following: * A note home to parents to provide a family photograph for a special “We are loved” bulletin board.* 2 posters to help create the bulletin board. * A tiny welcoming note for your students with a place to put a Hershey Kiss. ("Hooray! Hooray! So glad you're here today. To show you that it's true, here's a little kiss for you!")* Graphing activities * Parts of a book poster & worksheet* Pocket Chart cards for: character, setting, events * Literacy Graphic organizers* Beginning-Middle-End of the story worksheets & activities * A who, what, where, when, why worksheet* Venn diagrams comparing: 2 books, 2 characters, the child with Chester, Chester’s school & their school, plus some completed samples to share. * Games: “How many words can you make using the letters in raccoon?” Includes an answer key; “Rr is for raccoon and….” race; plus a Nocturnal Animal Memory Match game. * A variety of worksheets for various levels.* Lot of creative & fun writing prompts* Several class-made books, with covers and inside pattern pages to make them. * Nocturnal animal activities, including an interesting facts sheet, an alphabetical list of 34 nocturnal animals, a classroom poster, with a matching “color me” one for students, plus several games. * Sign Language activities (The last page of the story, is a picture of Chester’s hand “signing” I love you.) Includes a poster and worksheet. * Skidamarink a-dink-a-doo I love you song, poster & bookmarks. My Y5s LOVE singing this sweet song. * Retell the story bookmarks* “Color me” first day bookmarks * Comfort discussion poster and matching class-made book * “I had a great 1st day” slap bracelet.* 12 pocket chart cards for reviewing the story. They double as a punctuation and capitalization activity too. * Feelings activities* Raccoons "Are, Can, Have" worksheet * Craftivities: A raccoon mask; a hand print fold out note; and a “red, white & blue I love you” sign language heart. Both make a wonderful keepsake. * I also designed a sweet full-body raccoon on a 1/2 sheet of paper, with 2-on-a-page for quick printing. Little ones can simply color him, then color, trim & glue the tail to the bottom. Older students can write 3-4 things they liked about school or 2-3 emotions they felt during the first day or week. The larger raccoon is just a head & tail. I call it "A Tale About Me!" With a play on the word "tale/tail". It's an interesting alternative to the "All About Me" booklets. The tail of the raccoon provides simple writing prompts for kiddos to finish: name, birthday, an interesting fact about themselves; what they want to be when they grow up, plus favorites: color, candy, activities, animal, foods, & TV show, all written on the raccoon's tail. This craftivity is a super-fun way to learn about your new students, and completed projects make an adorable bulletin board. Click on the link to pop on over to my TpT shop to grab this comprehensive Kissing Hand Literacy Packet. In celebration of getting ready for back to school, I've knocked 2 dollars off for a limited time, so this 102-page packet is just $5.95. The featured FREEBIE today, also involves The Kissing Hand. I actually have 2 for you that are featured in the packet. The first one is the quick, easy & fun "fill up the hand with feelings" craftivity. Click on the link to grab it. The second one is the Comfort Class-Made Book. There are two writing prompt options to choose from, a color cover, with full & half page options, plus the discussion poster. After children share their page, collect, collate, add the cover & place it in your classroom library. Be sure and set your student-made booklets out during Open House as well as Parent Teacher Conferences. I hope your kiddos enjoy creating this one. Well that's it for today. Thanks for stopping by. It's a lovely sunny day in the 70's. My grandchildren are coming over, so it will be especially enjoyable. Wishing you a love-filled day as well.
