Activities:

• Home Connection
  • NEED: Flashlight; Optional: nightlight or small lamp
  • DO: 
    • Before the Activity: Stand in the middle of the activity area with the child standing in front of you. Turn the flashlight on and point it at the floor. Optional: Plug in the nightlight or turn on the lamp, and dim or turn off lights.
    • During the Activity: Shine the flashlight onto the floor in different areas of your activity area and encourage the child to run to the light. Once the child is standing on the light, move the light to a different area and encourage them to follow the light. Repeat as desired.
    • After the Activity: Introduce the Bible Story.
  • Say: 
    • Before the Activity: “Come stand in front of me, and let’s play a fun flashlight game!”
    • During the Activity: “When you see the light the flashlight makes on the floor, I want you to run to it. Ready? (Point the light away from where the children are standing.) Great job! Let’s do it again! (Repeat moving the light all around your activity area.) You are so good at following the light.”
    • After the Activity: “Today in our Bible Story, we are going to hear how we can do what Jesus says and let our lights shine!”
• Morning Time
  
  • When you go into your child’s room, cuddle them and say: "Good morning, [child's name]! It's time to open your curtains so the light is not hiding. Jesus says to let our light shine too. Don't hide it. Shine it!"
