Zacchaeus is a real-life example of the power that Jesus has to change our hearts. The goal in this lesson is for the children to feel the darkness and ugliness of sin, and then experience the joy and miracle of forgiveness when Zacchaeus meets Jesus! Bible Truth: Jesus has the power to forgives my sin. Bible Story: Jesus changes Zacchaeus' heart. Bible Study: Luke 19:1-10; I Corinthians 5:7 teach cha-ching! To tell the story of Zacchaeus "hands-on" style gather up these items: children's picture Bible, or flannel graph scenery and characters a small bag or coin pouch loose change a cut-out of a black heart and a white heart Peak your class's interest in your lesson by shaking the bag, and letting them guess what is inside. They will probably easily guess that you have money in your bag! Pass out a coin for each child to hold throughout the lesson. (Remind them that they should never put coins in their mouths!) Read the story of Zacchaeus from a children's picture Bible, or tell it in your own words with visuals, such as flannel graph. Introduce Zacchaeus as a short man, who was a tax collector. His job was to collect money that people had to pay to the king. But Zacchaeus took more money from people than he was supposed to. If someone was supposed to pay one coin to the king, Zaccahaeus made them pay two coins, and he would keep one of the coins for himself. That is called stealing. Zacchaeus was rich and had lots of money, but nobody wanted to be his friend because he stole money from them. He had a dark sinful heart. Hold up the dark heart as you describe Zacchaeus' dark and sinful heart. Go on to tell the rest of the story of Zacchaeus meeting Jesus, as you show pictures from the children's Bible or manipulate flannel graph characters. At the conclusion of the story, talk about how amazing it is that Jesus changed Zacchaeus' heart! He used to be a man that stole people's money, but now he gives his money away to people! Jesus did a miracle! Only Jesus has the power to take a dirty, sinful heart and give us a new clean heart! Zacchaeus repented, he turned away from his sin, and followed Jesus! Hold up the white heart as you describe how Jesus changed Zacchaeus' heart. Lead the class in a prayer, asking Jesus to forgive their sin, and change their hearts so they can follow Jesus like Zacchaeus. After you pray, collect the coins from the children. Tell them that they are giving the money back just like Zacchaeus did after he repented. sing Zacchaeus (was a wee little man) is a Sunday School classic, and the perfect song to reinforce the story they just heard. Be sure to do some actions with the song! The Repent Song is the same song we learned along with the story of John the Baptist, so it's great review and repetition. Follow the link for the lyrics and actions. The Bath Song is a great song about how Jesus washes away our sin with "super soap." The "call back" format makes it really easy to sing along! craft color & paste Here is a coloring sheet from Sermons 4 Kids of Jesus talking to Zacchaeus in the tree. Cut pieces of green paper, or green tissue paper into leaves for the children to glue onto the tree. zacchaeus meets Jesus A good craft is one that helps children retell the story that they learned. This craft does exactly that! You will need: this print out in (black & white) or (color) card stock scissors hole punch yarn green tissue paper glue clear tape crayons (optional) To prepare, print the print out page onto card stock. Cut on the dotted line, and cut out Zacchaeus. Punch a hole at the top and bottom of the tree. Cut out approximately 1" x 1" squares of green tissue paper. Cut yarn into 16" lengths. In class, provide glue for the children to attach the squares of tissue paper to the tree as leaves. Lace the yarn throught the holes and tie it behind the tree. If using the black and white version, provide crayons for the children to color Jesus and Zacchaeus. Tip: Tie the yarn near the top of the page, and attach Zacchaeus to the bottom of the page. It is easier for the kids, if you let them glue on the leaves before you add the yarn. Use clear tape to attach Zacchaeus to the yarn. Tip: Set the clear tape under the yarn, sticky side up, and then press Zacchaeus onto the tape. Move Zacchaeus up and down the tree to retell the story! up and down the tree For this craft you will need: this tree pattern this Zacchaeus pattern green construction paper jumbo craft sticks yarn scissors hole punch crayons glue tape To prepare, cut out the top, leaf portion of the tree pattern, and use it to trace onto green construction paper.

This is a simple review game that you can do for singing time!!! Here's a link for the game pieces from one of our favorite blogs! You can draw the grid on the chalkboard or draw one on poster board. The object of the game is to get 3 in a row AND to find out how well the children KNOW the program songs! This is how you play: Divide the children into two teams. (One is the X's and one team is the O's) Choose a team to go first and have one child pick a number. Each number will have a question about a program song. Ask the question and then if they get it right they get the square. If they don't know the answer they can ask their team :) After the question is answered sing that program song. Here are some sample questions for Junior Primary: 1 - What do I like to look for whenever there is rain? (Rainbows) 2 - As a Child of God what do I receive? (special light/ Holy Ghost) 3 - Is there someone on your team wearing a piece of jewelry with 3 letters that help us make right choices? And what are the 3 letters? (CTR ring/tie tac/bracelet/necklace. Choose the Right) 4 - Name Nephi's 2 older brothers. (Laman and Lemuel) 5 - Who built his house on a rock? (the wise man) 6 - What are the words our Prophet has for you? (Be True and Stand for the Right) 7 - Who am I trying to be like? (Jesus) 8 - If the Savior stood beside you, what would you say? (kind and true words) 9 - What are the Primary colors? (Red, Yellow, Blue) and here are some for Senior Primary: (because if your senior primary is anything like mine, they are SMARTY PANTS :)) You can give them hints if they need to know which Program Song it is from. 1 - How can you strengthen your family? (by my good works) 2 - What does the lord ask us to do with the commandments? (obey them) 3 - When in the right, what does your heart do? (confides) 4 - What happened to the house on the sand? (washed away) 5 - How many times do we sing Be True in Stand for the Right? (4) 6 - How does the Still Small voice speak to us? (whispers) 7 - Why do you want your life to be as clean as earth right after rain? (to live with God again) 8 - Though you cannot see the Savior, how often is He near? (always) 9 - What does yellow stand for in the song Our Primary Colors? (service) HEY YOU!!! Getting ready for your BIG DAY???? (the Primary Program?????)

Young Adventurers, lets journey to explore Scotland's national flower—the thistle! This magnificent plant holds a special place in Scottish hearts. Long ago, a group of Vikings sneaked into Scotland to conquer the land. As they crept forward, they took off their shoes to move silently through the night. But, little did they know, they were about to step on a thistle plant! Ouch! The Vikings cried out in pain, and their noisy yelps woke up the Scottish warriors who defended their land. The thistle saved the day, and since then, it became a symbol of Scotland's bravery. The thistle is no ordinary plant—it's a prickly beauty! With its purple or pinkish petals and sharp, pointy spikes, the thistle stands tall and proud. It loves to grow in the wild countryside and can reach impressive heights. But don't be fooled by its spiky exterior! The thistle is a true survivor, just like the people of Scotland. It can weather harsh winds, rocky soil, and even the chilliest winters. Symbol of Scotland: The thistle holds a dear place in Scottish culture and history. It represents the qualities of bravery, strength, and resilience that the Scottish people admire. You'll often find the thistle on Scottish emblems, coins, and even on the uniforms of Scottish soldiers. The people of Scotland are proud to call this unique flower their national symbol. Fun Facts about Thistles: The thistle is a member of the daisy family and has over 200 species. Some thistle species are edible and can be used in cooking or made into teas. The thistle has medicinal properties and has been used for centuries to treat various ailments. Scotland's oldest order of chivalry is called the Order of the Thistle, which honors the Scottish monarch's knights Materials Needed: Crepe Paper Color Paper Tape Marker Pencil Stick Scissors Tissue Paper Stick Glue Lets make our own Thistle! Step 1 Grab your stick and begin wrapping green paper around it to make your stem. Step 2 Take up your tissue paper or paper towel and form a ball around the stick. Glue together and wrap the green paper around it to form the bottom of the flower. Step 3 Fold several pieces of purple tissue paper down and begin cutting strips. Step 4 Once cut, wrap around the flower base to show off the spiky flower petals. Step 5 Repeat Step 4 with green tissue paper to wrap around the bottom of the flower. Cut off the excess. Step 6 Give your thistle a personality! Add eyes and a smiling face to add to it. This step is not required, but adds a little more fun into making it.
