  • DO: 
    • Before the Activity: Place the food in the basket and set it in an open area of the room.
    • During the Activity: Call the child to pick a food from the basket. Once the child has their fruit and is standing, ask them to hold their fruit over their head and march around the room. If desired, ask the child to put their food back in the basket then call the child back to the basket to pick a new food and parade again.
    • After the Activity: Introduce the idea of thanking God for food found in today’s Bible story.
  • Say: 
    • Before the Activity: “Friend, come stand with me! I thought it would be fun if we had a food parade today. A parade is where people get together and walk around to celebrate something. Let’s celebrate food.”
    • During the Activity: “[Child’s name], come pick one piece of food from the basket then stand right here. (Pause.) Great! Hold your food above your head. (Pause.) Wow! Look at the yummy food! Okay, ready to parade? Follow me! (Lead the child around the room.) Let’s sit down. [Child’s name], tell me what food you have. (Walk around with the basket.) Awesome! Put your food back in the basket. (Pause.) Thank you for making a great parade!”
    • After the Activity: “In our story today, we’ll hear about some people who learned to thank God for food. I can’t wait to hear all about it.

  • While on the go, ask your child what their favorite foods are. Talk about your favorite foods too. Then say: "I'm so thankful God gives us yummy foods to eat!"
