Activities:

• Home Connection
  • NEED: Butcher paper, painter’s tape, marker, red pom-poms, and small paper cups.
  • DO: 
    • Before the Activity: Tape a long piece of butcher paper to the floor. Draw a large person (a stick person will work) on the paper. Fill a cup with pom-poms.
    • During the Activity: As you review the Bible Story, give the child a cup of pom-poms to add to the person. Ask the child to pick up the pom-poms and put them in their cup.
    • After the Activity: Review the Bottom Line.
  • Say: 
    • Before the Activity: “Look at this picture! Let’s pretend this is the man from our Bible Story. Come sit down by him.” (Gather the child around the butcher paper.)
    • During the Activity: “In our Bible Story today, there was a man who had boo-boos all over his body. (Give the child a cup of pom-poms.) Let’s pretend these are boo-boos and put them all over the man. (Pause.) Good job. One day, the man with the boo-boos met Jesus. Jesus was kind and loving to him, because [Bottom Line] Jesus loves everyone. Jesus made all of the man’s boo-boos go away! Jesus loved the man when nobody else did. Jesus healed the man when nobody else could. Let’s take the boo-boos away! Put the pom-poms back in your cup. (Pause.) Look! The man is all better! Yay, Jesus! Clap and cheer for Jesus with me!” (Repeat as desired.)
    • After the Activity: “Jesus was kind and loving to the man with boo-boos, because [Bottom Line] Jesus loves everyone. Who does Jesus love? [Bottom Line] Jesus loves everyone! Yay! (Clap.) [Bottom Line] Jesus loves everyone!”
• Morning Time
  
  • When you go into your child’s room, cuddle them and say: "Good morning, [child's name]! Do you know why I'm smiling? I'm smiling because I know we can talk to Jesus and ask Him for help anytime we need it, just like the man with leprosy did."
