Lazarus or Leprosy Bible Lesson
|
What you will need: Jumbo, mini, and regular-sized craft sticks, round 1" wood pieces, gold trim, and gold spray paint or acrylic paint.
If you have preschool children or don't have the mini craft stick, you can use this easier pattern. This activity sheet only uses the jumbo and regular-sized craft sticks. A 
Paint a small box, inside and out, with gold paint. Paint craft sticks gold and then glue them to the box to make the poles. 
This paper doll can be used as a prop during your lesson or you can have your children make them for a craft to reinforce the lesson. 
Bring in wooden clothespins and have your children wrap strips of material around the bottom of the clothespin and draw faces on the top part to make Lazarus. They can glue pieces of yarn on the head for hair. Give each child three styrofoam cups. Have them crinkle up old newspaper to make rocks to fit in the tops of the cups. 
Place a line of tape down the middle of your playing area. Designate one side "inside the tomb" and the other side "outside the tomb". Have the children stand anywhere they would like. Tell them that when you say, "Lazarus Come Out", they should all jump to the "outside of the tomb" side of the room. When you say, "Lazarus Go In", they should all jump to the "inside" side of the room. You will try to trick them to jump on the wrong side depending on what you say. If a child jumps to the wrong side, he is out. Keep playing until only one child is left. When you say "Lazarus go in or go out" always jump to the opposite side. The children may automatically follow you to that side even though you said something different. 
At the bottom the picture it says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." This craft goes with the lesson 
This
lighthouse is made from poster board, paper and plastic cups, a paper
plate, and a screw band from a Mason Jar (canning jar). It was painted
with acrylic paint and small rocks were glued to the paper plate base.

Use this craft to go along with some
of the other crafts listed above. Here's a new craft material
that young children will love to work with. Nuudles are similar to
cornstarch packaging peanuts that dissolve in water, except these
come in different colors. All you do is dip the Nuudle in a
tiny bit of water or press them onto a wet sponge and stick them together.
You can stick them to each other or stick them on to other objects
to make designs or sculptures. See

Miracles - Jesus Calms the Storm
Scripture reference: Mark 4:35-41 or Matthew 8:23-34
Make a 3-D picture. Mark off 3" from the bottom of a sheet of blue construction paper. Fold it up. Cut a wave pattern on the top of the 3" fold. Cut a sheet of black construction paper in half and cut a wave pattern on one side. Glue the black waves to the blue sheet at the fold. Cut a boat shape from brown construction paper, a Jesus silhouette from white construction paper, and a disciple silhouette from black construction paper. Have the children glue Jesus and the disciples inside the boat. Using a brad, attach the boat to the background and then fold the 3" waves in the front and glued it only on the sides. Now, the children can retell the story using a boat that rocks during the storm. Sent in by Theresa Bostick
Jesus Calms the Storm Bible Lesson on The Resource Room - In this lesson children learn that you don't have to be afraid of anything because Jesus is in control of everything. A visual is used to tell the story. It can also be used as a craft. Jesus is shown sleeping on the boat with calm, happy waves. When the storm comes up clouds are folded down and new, angry waves can be folded up to make a new stormy picture. A new standing Jesus picture is presented when Jesus wakes up. He tells the storm to stop and the waves and clouds are folded out of the way to reveal a calm sea. A pattern for this craft is available to Resource Room members only.

Comments:
For the lesson, Jesus calms the storm, we took a piece of clay and rolled it into a ball and placed it in a bowl of water and talked about how without Christ in our lives we sink to the bottom. Then we pushed our thumbs in the middle and made a boat like shape and explained that with Christ in our lives we take shape and we float safely. It only takes about a marble sized piece of clay. Jennie
We acted out this story using our “box boat”. For the sound effects we used cookie sheets for the thunder, flashlights for lightening, spray bottles for rain, and had the children blow and make wind noises for the wind. We had three or four children doing each effect. We repeated the story about three times so they could take turns with the effects. We made the windsocks and had a “wind sock parade” around the room, as the weather did not permit us to go outside. Elaine

Miracles - Jesus Walks on Water
1. Make an "Eyes on Jesus" Wheel Craft - This craft will remind your children to keep their eyes on Jesus when they face difficult or scary situations. Turn the wheel and different thoughts appear in the window such as: It's too dark!, It might hurt!, etc. The eyes on the little boy also move with each situation. When the words "Keep your eyes on Jesus!" show through the window, the little boy is looking straight ahead. (Patterns available to members only.)
2. Play "Keep Your Eyes on Jesus" Water Strider Game (Older children) - In this game children spin the water strider wheel to see in which direction the water strider is looking. The child or teacher reads the thought and then the child gives an example of when someone might take their eyes off of Jesus when they are thinking that thought. For example, if the water strider is looking at "It might hurt." The child may say, "A person may say this when he is going to get a shot." The teacher can comment that if this person remembers that Jesus will be with them, they won't be so afraid. If they "keep their eyes on Jesus", he will help them get through it. If the water strider is looking at the word "Jesus", you can give the child a treat or make up some other reward. (Patterns available to members only.)
3. Shaving Cream Fun (preschool) - Squirt shaving cream on a table and sprinkle blue glitter to resemble water. Before hand have your children decorate wooden craft spoons as Jesus and Peter. Let the children play in the shaving cream with the spoons acting out the story. Use play boats if desired. Shaving cream seems messy but it will dissolve and not stain clothes.
4. "Keep Your Eyes on the Verse" Bible Verse Review Game - Print out the Bible verse to make a large poster. (Patterns available to members only.)
Pick about five students to stand in the back of the room against a wall. Stand at the front of the room with the poster in your hands. Point to one of the words on the poster and see if any of the children can read the word from the back of the room. (If one of the children can see the word, try using a smaller poster.) If no one can read the word, take a step forward. Ask your children again if anyone can read the word. Keep playing until a child can read the word you are pointing to. Have the children say the whole verse and then pick another group of children.

4. Fishing Game Bible Verse Review Game
Preparation - Before class print out the fish patterns onto card stock and cut them out. (Available to members)
Tape a paper coin on the back of one of the fish. Place a metal paper clips on the mouths of each fish and spread them out on the floor. Make a fishing pole by tying a magnet on the end of a string and attaching it to a short pole.
In class remind your children that Jesus paid the temple tax because he didn't want to offend anyone or make them think that he was doing something wrong.
Write the Bible verse on the board and explain it to your children. Remind them that Jesus told Peter to go down to the lake and put his fishing pole in the water. The first fish he caught would have a coin in its mouth. Tell your children that one of the fishes on the floor has a coin in its mouth and they are going to try and be the one who catches the fish with the coin.
Have your children take turns catching fish. When a child picks up a fish have him look on the back of the fish to see if he caught the fish with the coin. If he didn't, ask him if he knows what the word is on the fish. Have him find the same word on the board and tape his fish under the same word on the board.

Miracles - Jesus Turns Water into Wine
1. First we provided large gifts for the kids to open just like at a wedding. Inside they found rolls of toilet paper which they used to dress up like brides! We served wedding cake for our snack. Then we "magically" turned water into wine by having cups with pre-measured grape Kool-Aid powder in them (make sure to use pre sweetened). We took a large clear pitcher of water and when we poured it into the cups it changed to wine! We explained to the children that Jesus really did perform this miracle and we were only pretending, etc. It was a big hit! Lisa
2. Make "Water to Wine Pots" - For this craft, you need six toilet paper rolls per child (You can just roll up some construction paper into tube if you don't have TP rolls.). Wrap the rolls with different colored construction paper. Staple them together in two rows of three. Then staple the two rows together. Give children six pieces of blue tissue paper each (water) and have them stuff one piece into each tube. Give them each a sign that says "water" and help them to glue it to the side of the pots. Turn the pots up side down. Give each child six pieces of purple tissue paper (wine) and have them stuff one piece into each tube. Give each child a sign that says "wine" and help them to glue it to the other side of the pots. Now, the children have something to take home that will remind them of Jesus' First Miracle: Water to Wine. (This craft idea was sent in by Theresa Bostick.)
3. Make veils for the girls to wear on their heads using white 1/4" elastic and white netting and bow-ties for the boys to wear around their necks using black 1/4" elastic, Velcro and black felt. She also took a group-wedding picture. Thanks, Theresa for all the great ideas.
4. This is a game that I remember playing when I was in children's church over 20 years ago. Instead of saying duck, duck, goose, have the children say water, water, wine. This is an easy way to reinforce Jesus' first miracle of him turning the water into wine. I use it with my 1 and 2 year olds now and they love it.
5. Have your children glue wedding confetti to a picture of a bride. Sent in by Jeannette
Miracles - Lessons about Jesus turning Water into Wine on The Resource Room
Jesus Cares About You (Jesus Turns Water into Wine) - Sunday school lesson - (This lesson is available to members only.) In this lesson children learn about how Jesus fixed a problem at a wedding by performing a miracle. They learn that Jesus cares about our problems and wants to help us deal with them.
1. Send out invitations before class inviting the children to a wedding feast (Pattern available on The Resource Room)
2. Decorate your room with wedding shower decorations or have the children who arrive early help.
3. Decorate wedding cakes.
4. Make wedding bells for decorations. (Pattern available on The Resource Room)
5. Play a Bible verse memory game.
6. Play a Bible Verse Memory Game - Go over the Bible verse several times so that the children can say it without help. Have the children all stand in a large circle. Give a child a beanbag or other object. Play like hot potato. When you start the music the children start passing the beanbag, but they must first say the verse before they pass it. For young children use just the last part of the verse ("He cares about what happens to you."). When the music stops the child who is holding the bean bag must sit down. You can also have more than one bean bag going around the circle at the same time.
You can also play by having the children pass the beanbag until the music stops. The child who is holding the beanbag must say the Bible verse.
7. Have a Wedding Dress Contest - Break the children up into teams of 3 or 4. Give each team a roll of TP and have them dress up one of their team members as a bride. Have the children vote on which bride looks the best.
You will find more ideas for this lesson on The Resource Room.

Miracles - Jesus Heals a Paralytic
Scripture reference: Luke 5: 17-26
Concepts: Jesus heals.
Miracles - Jesus Heals the Sick
The ideas for this section come from Bethany Davis.
Activities
1. Talk About First Aid Supplies - Bring in a variety of supplies from a typical first aid box, Band-Aids, gauze, aspirin, etc. Let the children discuss them; what they are used for, etc. Then talk about how Jesus can help you feel better when you are sick or hurt. Discuss how Jesus wants us to be well, not sick, just like our parents. Use this to start discussing the healing miracles Jesus did.
2. Blind Man - Blindfold them and lead around the room. Have them try to touch their toes, scratch their nose, tie their shoes, etc. with the blindfold on. Then take them off and do same activities.
3. Jesus Healing the Sick - Have the children lay down like they are sick in bed. One teacher comes in, kneels beside each child and recites the words Jesus healed Jairus' daughter. They can do this for each other, and help each other up off the floor.
4. Play "Pin the Band-Aid on the Little Girl/Boy" for Younger Children.
5. Bandage Relay - For primary ages, do a "bandage relay". Two teams, have them try to wrap or unwrap each other from gauze wrap, ace bandages, etc. Or give them each a stack of Band-Aids and have them unwrap and stick them on each other in a certain amount of time.
6. Play a Memory Game - For primary ages, take a tray of first aid supplies and let them look at it for one minute. Remove several objects and have them try to tell what is missing.
Crafts
1. Paper Maché Casts - Primary children can make a paper mache "casts" of their arm. Write with a permanent marker on it "Jesus Heals The Sick".
2. Color Pictures - Preschoolers can color in a large picture of a little girl or boy and then stick Band-Aids, glue gauze pads and cutouts of casts, crutches, etc on the drawing.
Thank you, Bethany, for all the great ideas.

Miracles - Jesus Feeds the 5,000
1. Basket of Fish - cut a paper lunch sack into a shorter height (about 5 inches tall), cut construction paper handle, tape or staple handle to the bag after the kids decorate them with crayons, stickers, etc. Have several fish bread loaf shape cutouts for them to color and then place in the basket. Make the cutouts large enough to stick up past the top of the basket. You could also use a strawberry basket with pipe cleaner for a handle.
2. Use Ellison die cuts to cut fish shapes out of construction paper (Or you can just draw them.) Write, "Jesus will provide" on one and on another of a different color write, "John 6:1-14. Glue them together and leave an opening. Stuff the fish with batting (cotton balls would work) and then let them dry. During Bible class have your children glue eyes to each side of the fish and decorate the fish. Sent in by Rebecca
The Big Picnic - This Lesson is Available on The Resource Room a Subscription Site. In this lesson children go on a picnic. When they get there they find that Arnie Ant has eaten their lunch. This reminds the teacher of the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000. After the story the teacher discovers that the food wasn't eaten after all. It was just hidden under a cloth in the basket so the children enjoy a picnic with Arnie Ant
Crafts
1. Children can make "Arnie Ant" holding a sign that says, "Jesus uses little things to do big things."
2. Children can color a picnic basket and add bread and fish and a few ants, of course.

Mother's Day Bible Lessons
"How to Say I Love You" - In this lesson children learn what it means to love someone and how to express their love to their mothers. Many objects are used such as candy, a clock, a compass, a measuring tape and others, to represent different ways our mothers show us love. These objects are also used in a memory game to review the lesson and to study the Bible verses that go to this lesson from 1 Cor. 13.
Play a Family Feud Type Game - Before class write at the top of the board "What Your Mother Does to Show You She Loves You". Under the title write the numbers one through five.
Tell your children as they walk in that you are going to have a contest. Give them each a piece of paper and tell them to write down the numbers one through five on their papers. Tell them that you have a list of the five most mentioned things that mothers do to show us that they love us. You want everyone to write down what they think are the top five things that they think the people surveyed have picked. The student that gets the most right will get a prize.
What Your Mother Does to Show You She Loves You:
1. She tells me she loves me.
2. She hugs and kisses me.
3. She teaches me.
4. Spend times with me.
5. She takes care of me.The complete lesson with crafts and activities is available on The Resource Room.
