Preschool Lessons

Building on Last Week: In the last unit your child learned about the need for kindness. This unit they’ll see kindness personified—the Lord Jesus Christ.

Story Scripture: John 4:46-53

Bible Verse: “The Lord is my helper.” Hebrews 13:6

At Home Ideas:

Get Well Card
Help your child make a get-well card or decorate an existing card. Mail or deliver in person to someone you know who has not been well. Maybe even take a bouquet of flowers from your yard.

Healthy Kids
Help your child begin to understand what it takes to be and stay healthy. Let your child help you decide what makes a good meal. Take walks together or just go to the park and play. Remember the sunscreen and water!

Building on Last Week: This lesson will be a good opportunity for you to review examples of kindness from Scripture, the greatest of which is the Lord.

Story Scripture: Review of Lesson 9 through 12

Bible Verse: “Be kind and compassionate to one another.” Ephesians 4:32

At Home Ideas:

Tent Camping
Provide sheets or blankets to drape over chairs or tables to create a “tent”. Then let your child play through a day’s activities from bible times. Cooking would be done outside. Water had to be brought in from a well or stream. Sleeping would be on mats inside the tent. You could tell them the story again of when Abraham was kind to some visitors. Then act out what Abraham and his wife and servants did for those visitors. Maybe even have lunch together outside the tent.

Memorial Weekend Kindness
Seeing as how this is Memorial Weekend, you may want to help your child understand this holiday and kindness by taking flowers to someone who has lost a loved one in the past or going to the gravesite to deliver flowers. Be prepared to talk with and comfort your child if they become scared or curious.

Building on Last Week: All believers are the Lord’s children, whom He has received so warmly and lovingly. How can there be any other response than sacrificial giving from a heart overflowing with love for Him?

Story Scripture: Matthew 26:6-13; Mark 14:3-9; John 12:1-8

Bible Verse: “Be kind and compassionate to one another.” Ephesians 4:32

At Home Ideas:

Bible-Time Sandals
You can help show your child how dirty people’s feet would become in Jesus’ time by making sandals. You could trace a simple pattern onto cardboard or an old carpet piece and cut it out. Then punch out several holes and string ribbon, leather, or shoelaces through the holes for your child to wear. Explain to your child that this is why washing the feet was so important and a kindness in Jesus’ day.

Lounging Around
In Jesus’ time, people ate sitting on the floor around a low table. Try having a snack or lunch sitting on the floor with your child and see what they think. You could serve the same types of food that Jesus may have eaten. You may even want to practice the kindness of washing feet first!

Building on Last Week: Jesus was truly glorious during His transfiguration, but He was no less glorious when He made the blind man see. The radiant glory the disciples saw on the mount comes from the very heart of Christ, as seen by His love of others.

Story Scripture: Luke 18:35-43

Bible Verse: “Be kind and compassionate to one another.” Ephesians 4:32

At Home Ideas:

What is it like to be Blind?
If your child won’t be afraid being blindfolded, you could try this experiment. Tie a blindfold around child’s eyes and help them feel their way around a familiar room. Give them familiar items to touch and feel and try and guess what they are. Another idea to try if they are reluctant to just put on a blindfold, would be to play “Pin the Tail on the Donkey” or similar game. They could still get some of the same effects. Talk about how difficult it is to not be able to see and tie it into the story for the week.

Just for Dad’s
Dad’s, this Sunday is Mother’s Day! Why not help your child make a Mother’s Day gift? It could be a card, a paper flower, or breakfast in bed. Mom will appreciate anything your child comes up with!
