- DO:
- Before the Activity: Sit together at the table.

- After the Activity: Introduce the Bible story and the concept of following.
- Say:
- Before the Activity: “Friend, have a seat at the table. We’re going to use the table to make some music today.”
- During the Activity: “I have craft sticks for you to use as rhythm sticks. (Pass out craft sticks.) I’ll tap a rhythm with my sticks. I want you to listen closely and repeat that rhythm with your own sticks! Are you ready? Listen closely. (Tap, tap, tap.) Now you try. (Tap sticks with the children.) Good job. This one is a little harder. Listen. (Tap-tap, tap, tap-tap.) Your turn. (Continue with different patterns and repeat as desired.) You did a great job of listening and following my rhythm!”
- After the Activity: “In our Bible story today, we’ll hear about a man named Daniel who listened to, trusted, and followed God, even when he needed to be brave! Let’s go hear more about Daniel!”
- Drive Time
- While on the go, name different animals and make their sounds together. End with a lion. After you make the lion sound, talk about how Daniel trusted God and God helped Daniel be brave, even in a lion's den.
