Before class, wrap one "present" for each student in bright wrapping paper. Students will not keep the presents (make sure you let them know when you start the activity). Wrap presents that represent different gifts God gives you. Presents should represent unseen gifts. For example, watercolors represent creativity and imagination; a jar of dirt represents earth and the ability to grow things; and a pine cone represents nature. Ask each student to choose a gift, one at a time. Have the student open the gift, then ask her what she thinks it might represent. Open the question to all students. Repeat with each present and student. Review all the gifts you learned about.
Adjust the classic "musical chairs" to teach about Jesus' unconditional love. Set up chairs in a circle, backs facing one another, one chair less than there are children. Play a recording or simply sing the song, "Jesus Loves Me". Stop the music or announce, "Stop!" Kids scramble for available chairs. The student who doesn't get a seat puts a paper crown on and tells the class why she thinks Jesus loves her. She sits out. Repeat the game until one student is left. She may also wear the crown and discuss what Jesus loves about her.
This lesson explains that Jesus knows who you are when you pray. Before class, find several items that make familiar, identifiable sounds. Examples include a stapler, harmonica, baby rattle and bell. Place these items in an opaque bag. During class, ask students to close their eyes. Take an item, one at a time, from the bag and make a sound with it. Ask students to identify the item. Do this with all contents. Explain that just as they identified the items, Jesus knows who they are when they pray. Jesus takes prayers to God, and if they know He is listening, He will answer their prayers.
This game helps with bible verse memorization. Before class, write or type out a Bible verse you would like the students to memorize. Choose a shorter verse appropriate for preschoolers. Cut up the verse into individual words. Hide the words around the classroom. Have students find the words, put them in the correct order and recite the verse. Repeat the recitation several times.
