Activities:

• Home Connection
  • NEED: Painter’s tape and toy cars
  • DO: 
    • Before the Activity: Make long roads on the floor with painter’s tape.
    • During the Activity: Show the child how to drive the toy cars along the tape roads. When you say “Stop!” ask the child to stop their car and say, “Jesus wants to be your friend forever.” When you say, “Go, go, go!” ask the children to drive their cars on the road again. Continue saying “Stop!” and “Go, go, go!” as long as time and interest allow.
    • After the Activity: Tell the child to stand on the road and hold their toy car up in the air as you review the Bottom Line.
  • Say: 
    • Before the Activity: “Hi, friend! Come pick out a car and stand near this tape road. We’re going to play a game!”
    • During the Activity: “When I say, ‘Go, go, go!’ drive your car on the road like this. (Demonstrate.) When I say, ‘Stop!’ stop your car and say, ‘Jesus wants to be your friend forever!’ Let’s play! Ready? Go, go, go! (Pause.) Stop! Jesus wants to be your friend forever! Great job! Let’s drive some more. Go, go, go! (Pause.) Stop! Jesus wants to be your friend forever! (Repeat as desired.) That was fun!”
    • After the Activity: “In our Bible Story, Jesus gave His friends, the disciples, a very important job to go and tell everyone everywhere that Jesus is alive and Jesus wants to be their friend forever. We can do what Jesus says and do that important job too! Jesus says to go, go, go and tell everyone everywhere that Jesus wants to be their friend forever. We can do that, because [Bottom Line] I can do what Jesus says, and you can do what Jesus says! Who can do what Jesus says? [Bottom Line] I can do what Jesus says!”
• Cuddle Time
  
  • Cuddle with your child and pray: "God, You love everyone everywhere. You sent Jesus to everyone everywhere. Please help us go and tell others about Jesus so they will know how much Jesus loves them and wants to be their friend forever."
