Ask your children if they have ever been in a bad storm,…
Many young children deal with fear in one form or another. Common fears are separation anxiety, fear of the dark, fear of storms, and fear of visiting the doctor. In helping children overcome fear, we should acknowledge that their fears are very real to them, and then point them to Jesus. Show them that Jesus is bigger and more powerful than their fear. Assure them that Jesus will walk with them through their fear, and help them to overcome. In our lesson this week, we want to make Jesus big, powerful, and strong enough to handle any fear in the hearts and minds of our children. Bible Truth: Jesus is bigger than my fears. Bible Story: Jesus commands a storm to be still. Bible Study: Matthew 8:23-27; Mark 4:35-41; II Timothy 1:7 teach interactive read-a-loud Get the children interested and engaged in your lesson, right at the outset, by handing them each an approximately 18 inch strip of a blue streamer. Explain that their streamers are going to be the wind and the waves in today's story. Invite them to practice waving their streamers low to the ground to make waves, and waving them high above their heads to make wind. As they participate, they are both physically and mentally engaged. You are giving squirmy kids an opportunity to move in a way that supports their learning, and you are helping your little learners construct a mental picture of wind and waves, which is critical to understanding this miracle. Bring out a clear container, filled with water, to set the scene for the story. Have a hair dryer ready to go, but bring it out later in the story as an element of surprise. Dramatically read the story from either a children's Bible, or from your own Bible. If you choose to read it from your Bible substitute words such as "tempest" and "perishing" for "storm" and "dying". As you are read, invite the children to interact with the story like so: Jesus and the disciples got into a boat. Gently rock from side to side. Suddenly a windstorm arose. Wave streamers in the air. Turn on the hair dryer, and direct it towards their streamers to blow them around. The boat was covered with waves. Rock the container of water with the boat to create waves. Wave streamers low to the ground, and quickly rock from side to side. Jesus was asleep. Lay down and pretend to sleep. The disciples awoke Him. Gently tap the shoulders of the children to wake them up, and then resume the storm. Jesus rebuked the wind and waves. Raise both hands and say, "Peace! Be Still!" There was a great calm. Hold the streamers still. Gently rock from side to side. To conclude the story say: Wow! Jesus did an amazing miracle! He has all the power. He told the wind and waves to be still, and they obeyed Him. You don't need to be afraid, because Jesus is always with you to protect you, take care of you and watch over you. share and pray Ask the children what they are afraid of. I give you fair warning that this will likely turn into a quite lively discussion! In each situation, talk about how Jesus is bigger and more powerful than whatever they are afraid of. Remind them that He is powerful enough to stop wind and waves by just speaking to them! To emphasize the power Jesus has in their terms, ask them if Spiderman or Elsa (or any other character that they are enamored with) can do that. Teach them to say, "In the name of Jesus go away!" and any spirit of fear trying to overtake them must go. Teach them to ask Jesus to give them a big hug, and be with them. Pray with them, and over them, about their fears, speaking peace over them in the name of Jesus. sing The Wind and the Waves Obey Him is good for a puppet song, or to play as the children are working on the craft or color sheet. My God Is So Big is one of our favorite songs in my classroom! We add our own touch to it singing, "there's nothing my God cannot do for YOU!" As part of the motions I point and make eye contact with a different child each time we say "for YOU!". Bigger Than Big has an awesome message: God and His love are the biggest of all! play toss the boat "parachute" game Instead of a parachute (unless you have one on hand), a sheet or table cloth will work just fine! You will also need a small toy boat, or a small plastic container to use as a boat. Spread the parachute out on the floor, and invite the children to sit around it. Instruct them to not touch the parachute until you have explained the rules and you are ready to start the game. To play this game, place the boat in the center, of the parachute. Each child holds onto their section and moves the parachute up and down to create waves, while trying to keep the boat on the parachute. Walk around the circle, and tap a child on the shoulder and say, "Jesus, wake up!" The child you chose should loudly say, "Peace, be still!" Everyone obeys "Jesus" and stops moving the parachute. Continue playing the game, giving each child a turn to be "Jesus". craft coloring page Here is a nice coloring page that would be fun to paint! (At least the blue water.) sailboats Make simple sailboats for the children to reenact the story of Jesus calming the storm. For this craft you will need: this label small paper plates craft sticks construction paper glue To prepare, cut the plates in half, and cut the construction paper into triangle sails. Print and cut out the labels. In class, help the children glue together the pieces to make their own sailboat. fold-a-story For this craft you will need: this activity page (version 1) OR this activity page (version 2) blue streamers yellow smiley face, or yellow color-coding stickers cotton balls glue (use this hack for mess-free gluing) crayons To prepare, print the activity page (either version 1 or version 2) and copy the pages back to back. Cut blue streamers into squares. In class, provide glue for the children to apply the blue squares as waves, and cotton balls as clouds. Give them each a yellow smiley face sticker, or a yellow color-coding sticker to add to the sun. Provide crayons for them to color. Help them fold the down the windy clouds, and ask them to retell the story to you as they fold the picture. version 1 version 2 See this post for more ideas about teaching your child the concepts in this lesson at home this week!
“...corramos com perseverança a carreira que nos está proposta, olhando firmemente para o Autor e Consumador da fé, Jesus...” (Hb 12:1,2). “Distraindo-se Pedro com a força do vento, teve medo...”. Todos nós podemos nos identificar bem com Pedro nesta situação! Quando Pedro começou a tirar seus olhos de Cristo e desviar sua atenção para as ondas e o vento, a sua fé enfraqueceu e ele teve medo e começou a afundar-se. Há tantas coisas neste mundo que podem nos distrair e tirar os nosso olhos de Cristo. Enfrentamos desafios, lutas e dificuldades e, às vezes, nossa fé enfraquece como aconteceu com Pedro, e ficamos com medo e cheio de dúvidas. Entretanto, quando olhos estão fixos em Cristo, com certeza teremos a vitória. Ler: Mateus 14:22-33; Marcos 6:45-52 Versísulo para MEMORIZAR: "Respondeu-lhe Jesus: Eu sou o caminho, e a verdade, e a vida..." João 14:6. APLICAÇÃO: mostrar que Jesus está sempre ao nosso lado. (Abra sua Bíblia e diga que essa história está dentro da Bíblia e aconteceu de verdade há muito tempo atrás. As crianças precisam saber de onde vem a história e que elas são reais.) Certa vez Jesus estava no barco com os seus amigos, e eles estavam indo para uma outra cidade, só que durante a viagem aconteceu uma chuva forte. Pergunte se as crianças já viram uma chuva forte. E aí, todos ficaram co muito medo e foram pedir pra Jesus ajudá-los e então Jesus se levantou e disse para o mar parar e o vento também. E sabem o que aconteceu? O vento e o mar obedeceram a Jesus e então ninguém mais teve medo. Não precisamos ter medo de nada, pois Jesus nos ajuda em todas as situações.
