Activities
1. Play "If I Go ___________ God is There."
Younger Children:
Have your children sit in a circle on the floor. Roll a small truck or car towards one of the children and say, "If I go to school, God is there." Tell the child who gets the truck to roll it to another child and say the same thing, except pick a different place. He may say something like, "If I go to the park, God is there." He then rolls the car to another child. Keep playing until all the children have had a turn.
Older Children:
Have all the children sit in a circle. Start by saying, "If I go ___________, God is there." (Fill in the blank.) Then have the child on your right repeat what you said and then say the same thing only change the place. The next child would repeat the first two sentences and then add a new one. Keep playing until it comes back to you.

2. Action Rhyme
God, where can I hide from you? - Look around to find somewhere to hide.
Where can I run from your view? - Run around in a circle.
If I go up to the heavens in the clear blue air, - Point up to the sky.
You are there.
If I make my bed deep down in the ground, - Get down on the ground.
You know where I can be found.
If I settle on the far side of the sea, - Pretend to swim walking around in a circle. You will be with me.
You will hold my hand and guide me. - Everyone holds hands and walks around in a circle.
With me, you'll always be.
You'll be there, no matter where.

Songs
You are With Me Everywhere
Sing to the tune of "London Bridges"
God, you are with me everywhere,
Everywhere, everywhere.
God, you are with me everywhere.
You are with me.
Have two adults or helpers stand facing each other holding hands with their arms held high forming a bridge. As you sing the song, have your children walk underneath the bridge and back around again. When you get to the last phrase, (You are with me.) the helpers should bring their hands down and capture the child that is walking under the bridge with their arms. The child who is captured should say one place where God is with him or her. Keep playing until all the children have had a turn.
