| King Lives Like an Animal | |
|
Concept: |
|
| Suggested Activities | |
| 1. Draw a simple outline of a man on paper or chalkboard. As you read the description in the text, change the man to look like the animal described. Don’t worry about your artistic ability, the children will love anything you draw! You might want to give each child a turn to transform the king as well. | |
| 2. Help children imagine what it would be like to live like an animal. Wash the table, then put a small snack in front of the children and have them try to eat it without using their hands. | |
| 3. Ask the children how animals move on the ground. Have them waddle like ducks, crawl like dogs, hop like bunnies and kangaroos, etc. Talk about how powerful God must be to change a man into an animal. | |
| 4. Have each child decorate a yellow paper crown by gluing sequins or putting on stickers for jewels. Then have each child wear his crown and play the Obedient King game. Tell them that good kings obey God, and that you are going to see if they can obey like good kings. Give several simple commands like stand up, touch your toes, smile, reach for the sky, etc. Praise all the obedient kings. | |
| 5. Bring a picture of your country’s most powerful leader (the president). Talk about how he should obey God if he wants to be a good leader. Pray for him by name with your class. | |
