Lame Man Walks
Text: Acts 3:1-21
1. Story Time
* Read story to them from a children's Bible.
* Used balloon for visual help.....drew face on baloon (sad face on one side, happy on the other), left the end untied. As the story went on, this balloon man was the main character "This poor man couldn't walk....." I made the balloon squeak for the man "begging," and when Peter said, rise up and walk, I let the balloon go and fly around the room! The kids were quite excited!
2. Memory Verse Review
* Galatians 5:13 "Serve One Another in Love"
* Talked about ways we can serve as kids. Wrote them on the board (Wash dishes, visit Grandparents, make cookies, share toys). The only problem was I talked to long and the kids lost attention span.
3. Snack Time
* Apples and Peanut butter (served on plastic plates). On the bottom of each plate I had taped a picture card (about the size of a business card) with the memory verse John3:16 typed on it.
4. Craft
* We made memory verse mobiles using two popsicle sticks, string, and words printed on paper (Gal. 5:13, SERVE, ONE, ANOTHER, IN LOVE.) They strung beads on the strings too.
5. Close
* I asked them to look on the bottom of their plastic plates and pull off the card hidden there. They took those and the mobile home.
* I wrote "Come Next Week!" in white crayon on white paper. Then, as they watched, I told them "Next week we will learn about a man who couldn't see...." and painted over the crayon with blue paint and the words showed up.
