JUNE 18th PRESCHOOL CURRICULUM

“Jesus said, ‘Come follow me.’” Matthew 4:19, NCV

Bottom Line: Jesus wants to be my friend forever.

This week: Jesus teaches Peter to love everyone, so Peter tells Cornelius about Jesus. Then Cornelius brings more people to hear about Jesus too.

Insight: FAITH

Discipleship Kit:

Activities:

• Home Connection
  • NEED: Cardstock in three different colors, scissors, and painter’s tape
  • DO: Before the Activity: Cut 12 large hearts from the cardstock, four of each color. Lay out the heart cutouts.                During the Activity: Ask the child to stand around the outside of the heart grid. Call on the Child to place a hand or foot on a certain color heart. Repeat until the child has at least one hand or foot on the board. Then ask the child to step off the grid and play again if time allows.                                          After the Activity: Talk about how we’ll hear a story about how Jesus loves everyone.
  • Say: Before the Activity: “Friend, gather here with me! Do you see these hearts? I have a game for us to play with them. Let's play!”                                                                                    During the Activity: "[Child’s name], place a hand on a [color] heart. (Pause.) Good job! Now, [child’s name], put your foot on a [color] heart. Do you have a foot and hand on the game board? (Pause.) Awesome! That was so fun! Let’s play again! (Repeat as desired.) Great job, friend.”
            After the Activity: “These hearts make me think about how Jesus loves everyone! In our Bible story today, we’ll hear about a friend of Jesus named Peter.”
           
• Drive Time
  
  • While on the go, talk about ways we can love everyone the way Jesus loves everyone. We can say kind words, share what we have, help people, pray for people—all of these are ways we can love like Jesus.
