    • During the Activity: Ask the child to pretend they are in a bus and you are the bus driver. Wave at the child to get on the bus, pretend to honk the horn, then drive. As you move around the room, ask the child to tell you where they are going, what they see, and who is with them.
    • After the Activity: Introduce the Bible story.
  • Say: 
    • Before the Activity: “Friend, come stand here with me! I have a fun activity for us. I am a bus driver. See my big bus? Come on, friend! (Wave them to come.) Get on my bus. That’s right get behind me. Okay, we’re all on the bus! I’ll honk my horn, beep-beep, and we will start on our trip.”
    • During the Activity: “Wow friend, I love that we are all going on a trip in my bus. [Child’s name], where should we go on our bus today? (Pause.) Oh, I love going there! [Child’s name], what do you see out of your window? (Pause.) Yes, I see that, too. [Child’s name], who do you want to bring on this bus trip? (Pause.) Oh, wow! That would be great to have [person’s name] on this bus ride! Wow, that was a wonderful trip! Thanks for riding on the bus with me. Let’s park the bus and go sit on the rug.”
    • After the Activity: “We saw so many places on our bus ride. (Name some of the places the child said during the activity.) We took so many people with us. (Name the people the child said.) Today in our story, we’ll hear about two women named Ruth and Naomi who were family, and they went on a trip together.”
• Morning Time
  
  • When you go into your child’s room, cuddle them and say: "Good morning, [child's name]! Let's start our day with telling God thanks for our family. (Together) Thank You for our family, God!"
