Activities:

• Home Connection
  • NEED: No supplies needed
  • DO: Before the Activity: Gather the child in an open area of the room with you.                                                                                                  During the Activity:Encourage the child to do the following movements which can be hard for preschoolers: stand on one foot, pat tummy and head at the same time, close eyes and touch toes, and run in place for one minute.                                                                             After the Activity: Talk about how we’ll hear a Bible story about someone who had to do something hard.
  • Say: Before the Activity: “Friend, join me over here.”                                    During the Activity: “Today, we’ll do some movements that are hard. It’s okay if you can’t do them all, but let’s give it a try! The first hard thing that we can do is stand on one foot like this. (Demonstrate.) Try to keep your balance! Wow, this is hard! Next, let’s try to pat our tummies and the top of our heads at the same time! (Continue with the different movements.) You are great at doing hard things!”
            After the Activity: “Sometimes, we have to do hard things. Today, we’ll hear a Bible story about someone who had to do something hard.”
           
• Drive Time
  
  • While on the go, look for different kinds of transportation (buses, motorcycles, trucks, airplanes, taxi cabs, bicycles, etc.). Pick one, and every time you see it, say: "I can love like Jesus anywhere," because Paul loved like Jesus on a ship.
