In case you are looking for a fun visual to use in teaching or reviewing "The Wise Man and the Foolish Man", here are some story figures that can be used as flannel or magnetic board figures or stick puppets. These are from the July 1999 Friend magazine found here. Because the magazine's version is sooooooo small and in a jpg format that won't enlarge without becoming very pixilated and because I didn't feel like coloring them by hand, I wanted the lines redrawn and the images colored in a vector format. BIG THANKS goes to my eldest son for helping me out since I didn't have time to do it myself, besides, he has a better design program on his computer than I do that is easier and quicker at redrawing the lines, and of course, he is better at it than I am. I will be using some of these figures in my object lesson for this song. See this post for the object lesson. I have sized these figures into large, medium and small sizes. Included in the file are also black and white versions of each size in case you feel like being a little artistic and want to colorize them yourself. The Wise Man and the Foolish Man Figures-Nalani
Jesus tells the story contrasting the wise builder and the foolish at the conclusion of His Sermon on the Mount. He tells His hearers that if they hear His words, and do them they are like the wise man, but if they hear His words and do not do them they are like the foolish man. The lesson here is about obedience - so meaningful and relevant to preschoolers. Building your life on Jesus (which is often the lesson taught with this story) is an abstract concept for little ones, but obedience, and choosing whether to be wise or foolish is right up their alley for both understanding and application! Bible Truth: Jesus teaches me to be wise. Bible Story: The wise and foolish builders. Bible Study: Matthew 7:24-27 teach sensory storytelling For a great visual and sensory experience of this parable round up these items: Legos a clear shallow container sand a brick Velcro a hair dryer a spray bottle filled with water To prepare, build two Lego houses. Add a couple strips of Velcro to the bottom of the wise man's house, and the brick. It works best to build the foolish man's house a bit top and front heavy. I also left the back of the house exposed so that it will be easier to blow down when I tell the story. Fill the clear shallow container with sand. Hold your Bible open, and tell the children that this is an exciting story because it's a story that Jesus told his friends and people that wanted to follow Him. We want to follow Jesus so let's listen to this story! Jesus said that anyone who listens to His words, and obeys, is like a wise man who built his house on a rock. A storm with lots of rain and strong winds came, but the house built on the rock was strong. It stood firm. Invite the children to pat their legs to make the sound of rain. Spray the house with water, and then spray a mist over the children. Turn the blow dryer on to a cool setting, direct the air towards the house, and direct it to the children. (They will LOVE this!!) Then Jesus said that anyone who listens to His words, but does not obey, is like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. A storm with lots of rain and strong winds came, and the house on the sand came crashing down. Once again, invite the children to pat their legs to make the sound of rain. Spray the house, and a mist over the children. Turn the blow dryer on to a cool setting, direct the air towards the children., and then towards the house to blow it over. Ask the children, "Do you want to be like the wise man who built his house on the rock, or the foolish man who built his house on the sand? When we listen to our parents and teachers, and obey them by doing what they say, Jesus said we are like the wise man." sing Wise Man Built His House Upon the Rock is the traditional children's song illustrating this parable. Before we sing the song I briefly explain that building your life on the Lord means to obey Jesus. play wise and foolish charades Play this game to teach and reinforce the practical application of this lesson. To prepare, use pictures (if they are available to you) of children being wise (i.e. sharing, helping, etc.) and pictures of children being foolish (i.e. fighting, stealing, etc.). If these pictures are not available to you, simply write the words on slips of paper. Put the pictures or words in a container from which the children will draw from. Also print out these happy and sad faces. Cut them out and glue a happy and sad face to either side of a craft stick for each child. Choose pairs of children to come to the front of the classroom and draw out a picture or word from the container. Help the children figure out what the picture is conveying, or what the word says, and help them act it out. Engage the rest of the class to help them guess what the children are doing. (If you are using pictures, you can also show them the picture.) After they determine the action of the children, ask them if the children are being wise or foolish. If they are being wise they should show you the happy side of their craft stick. If the children are being foolish, they should show you the sad side of their craft stick. craft coloring page Here is a coloring page for this lesson to which you may add sand, and rock as suggested in the craft below. rock painting Collect enough smooth rocks for each child in your class. Allow them to paint their rocks however they like. When they dry, write on the rocks with a Sharpie marker, "I am wise when I obey." wise & foolish builders For this craft you will need: this heading construction paper 6 craft sticks per child glue rock pattern contact paper (or gray / brown construction paper) craft sand (or sand / dirt) To prepare, print and cut the heading into strips, and cut the contact paper into approximately 1.5" by 5" rectangles. (I'm using the contact paper because I already have it on hand. If you opt to use construction paper, cut it to the same size, then crumple and flatten it out to give it a more "rock like" texture.) Since there is a lot to glue for this project, you may want to glue the headings to the construction paper ahead of time. In class, help the children glue the contact paper to the bottom left side of their paper, and sand to the bottom right side. Glue four craft sticks, in the shape of a house, on the rock. Then help them break two craft sticks, and glue them randomly over the sand.

The parable of the wise and foolish builders has many practical applications kids can easily understand, and lots of fun activities to do with it.
Our continuing Exploration through the Life of Jesus Has brought us to the time when Jesus is Preaching the Sermon on the Mount. We did a previous lesson on the Beatitudes, Letting Our Light Shine, The Golden Rule and now we are learning about THE WISE AND FOOLISH BUILDERS. . This is always a "fun" lesson to teach KIDDOS. They seem to really understand the point JESUS is making in the story. We added NEW CARDS to our DO You Know? Wall. My Expectation is for the KIDDOS to be able to answer each of these by the end of the lesson. Our VISUAL Aid for this lesson was an easy choice. I used rocks and sand for our foundations and placed a laminated paper house on each. During the lesson, when we got to the part of the storm, I poured water over both houses. As you can see the house on the sand fell. I ended up moving the visuals into a glass casserole dish...that way I could really pour a lot of water all over the houses and not worry about water getting all over the table. I did laminate my houses...so, I can reuse them in the future. It worked out perfectly. We had three new words to add to our WORD WALL. I chose STORM, BUILDER, & FOUNDATION. Those are important words for the KIDDOS to understand for this lesson to make more sense to them. We Added a NEW Card to our GOD'S AWESOME PLAN FOR MAN Timeline!! This is the SONG we learned with this lesson. The KIDDOS really enjoyed singing this one. I like that it teaches the message about WHO we need to build our life on!! The song can be heard by clicking the following link. The WISE BUILDER SONG....BY RONDA DUVALL Our MEMORY VERSE was Matthew 7:24! To hear the MEMORY VERSE song click on this link. Matthew 7:24 Memory Verse The Kiddo's made a "HOUSES BUILT ON A ROCK" for their TAKE-HOME project. I was excited for the KIDDOS to get to make this TAKE HOME project. It's a great visual reminder for BUILDING OUR LIFE ON THE LORD!! We want to be WISE BUILDERS! This week our REVIEW Game was a FUN one!! The KIDDOS had a paddle with both a well built house and a crumbling house on it. We would read a circumstance card to the KIDDOS...they would have to choose if the person on the card was building their life on JESUS or not. If the person on the card was building their life on JESUS, they would hold up the strongly built house. If they person was NOT building their life on JESUS, the KIDDOS would hold up the house that was crumbling and falling down. The KIDDOS did REALLY well with this game and enjoyed spinning their houses!! As you know, the second week of the LESSON is when we REVIEW. It gives me opportunity to correct any misunderstandings. It also, gives opportunities for the KIDDOS who missed class the first week to "CATCH UP." This is the Week we SAY our MEMORY VERSE from MEMORY and We do an ACTIVITY we add to our EXPLORER JOURNAL. This LESSON'S EXPLORER JOURNAL ACTIVITY was simple one...ON one side the page had a ROCK foundation that the KIDDOS added. On the other side the KIDDOS spread glue and added sand. Then the KIDDOS built a good strong house from nicely cut craft stick upon the ROCK and a HOUSE in pieces (I broke several craft sticks to give them the broken down look) upon the sand. The KIDDOS LOVED making this EXPLORER JOURNAL ACTIVITY. I am thoroughly enjoying teaching through the Life of Christ. The KIDDOS are learning so much about JESUS our LORD. Blessings, Ronda
