Group Activities

WATER JUG RELAY: Divide the children into teams and give each team a jug of water and a spoon and pot. Each team player will take his turn in spooning some water into the pot and run back to the team for the next player to spoon water into the pot. Continue until the timer runs out and then see which team has the most water in the pot!

DO WHATEVER HE TELLS YOU TO DO CLASS GAME: The teacher will call on one of the children and tell the children to "do whatever he/she tells you to" and then the child will hop, skip, jump, sing, etc. After the children have followed the child's directions, the teacher will call on someone else and will tell the children to DO WHATEVER HE TELLS YOU TO, etc. Give everyone an opportunity to do something for the class to follow.

I BELIEVE LETTERS: Let children cut out the letters for I BELIEVE and then decorate and glitter the letters, etc. Then glue onto a rectangle piece of construction paper and hang on the wall. Tell children to sign their own name to their I BELIEVE sign.

BELIEVING FLIPCHART: Give each child several pieces of construction paper that has been cut into quarters. Hole punch the tops of each sheet of paper and put a flipchart ring in the hole. Let children draw pictures of today's lesson on each sheet of paper and take turns telling the story to their classmates when everyone is done. Make sure that children write I BELIEVE, etc on their flipchart pages.

SCRIBBLE ART: Give children paper and markers to scribble circles all over the paper. Then take a red marker and fill in some of the scribbling circles to make them in the form of I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES, etc. Hang on the classroom wall. See which child's paper has the clearest I BELIEVE!

GRAPE JUICE BOTTLES: Give each child a small bottle of grape juice. Provide children with a strip of paper to write I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES, or other phrases from today's lesson and wrap around the bottle of juice and tape to the bottle. Let children drink from their grape juice bottles during snack time.

BELIEVE BOOK MARKERS: Provide supplies for children to make a bookmarker with words from today's lesson -- such as faith, believe, Jesus, miracles, etc.

MIRACLES CHALKBOARD: Give colored chalk to the children and have them take turns going to the chalkboard and drawing a quick picture of a miracle that Jesus did in the Bible or a miracle that Jesus could and has done today! Encourage children to LOOK for miracles this week!!

I BELIEVE IN JESUS CARD: Let each child take a quarter sheet of construction paper and write I BELIEVE IN JESUS and decorate their card. When the teacher says to pass the card to your right, children will pass their card and the next child will write his/her name on the card, and then continue to pass the card around the room until it returns to the owner of the card. Children will enjoy writing their own names on everyone's cards in a bright colored marker and their own design.
