Children will love making and playing with this two-sided stick puppet. They color the patterns and then draw a sad face on one side of the puppet and a happy face on the other side. They glue the purse on the hand of the sad woman and a coin on the happy woman. When children turn the puppet around the woman changes expressions. One arm of the puppet moves so that children can lift the arm to make it look like the woman is happy she found the coin.

This craft is available to members on The Resource Room and as an instant digital download.

Children study the pictures to figure out the Bible verse. When they think they have figured out the rebus, have them look up the Bible verse in their Bibles to check their work. Have them take the rebus home to help them memorize the Bible verse.

Play Hide and Seek with Chocolate Coins

Let your children take turns hiding a coin and having the other children try to find it. The child who finds the coin gets to keep it if he says the Bible verse. Keep playing until all the children have found a coin.

 

 

Look for a Lost Coin

Hide enough coins in your room so that each child will be able to find one. On the word go tell your children to go and find only one coin and then go and sit down. If a child can't find a coin, ask the class to help him.

 

 

Prayer Coins

Give each child ten chocolate coins. Have them think about people they might pray for and talk to about Jesus this week. Write the names of the people they think of on the coins with a permanent marker. Tell them that when they eat one of the coins they should pray for the person whose name is on the coin.

 

 

Bible Verse Review Game

Write the Bible verse on some chocolate coins, one word per coin. (You can use circles cut from shiny paper if you don’t have the chocolate coins.) Make at least three sets. Have your children play in groups of three. Review the Bible verse and write it on the board. If you have younger children use only a few words of the verse at a time. Have your children mix up the coins, and on the word go see who can place the coins in order first. Keep playing until all the children have had a chance to play.

 

 

Ideas from Subscribers

This week in Sunday school class (age up to 6) we learned about the Parable of the Lost Coin. As an introduction to the lesson, I had hidden ten silver coins around the classroom. I hid them rather hard so that it would take a while for the children to find them. I hid the last coin really hard. After the first nine were found, I gave the children a few hints on how to find the 'lost coin". When the coin was found, the children were so very proud of their accomplishment that they burst out with exciting squeals of joy. We then went into our discussion on the parable. We talked about how the lady in the parable searched for her lost coin, but could not find it. After searching for a while, she lit a lamp and searched some more. Still not finding it, she got a broom and began to sweep. She swept and swept, and upon finding the coin she rejoiced. She even called her friends and neighbors and asked them to rejoice with her for her lost coin is now found. It was kind of like when we found our 'lost coin" and it made us so happy.

We then discussed the Lord's search for the lost and how we can be used to witness to those who do not know the Lord in what we say, what we do, and how we act. We must be diligent in living our lives for the Lord, and being set apart from the world, as the lady in the parable was to find her lost coin. And when a lost person sees this difference in us, they will eventually ask why we are different, opening the door for us to lead them to Jesus. Then, all the angels in heaven can rejoice over the one lost soul who repents of their sins. For our craft we made a craft stick puppet of the lady from the parable holding a money bag in one hand the lost coin, which she found in the other. Theresa

Songs for the Parable of the Lost Coin for Sunday School

Ten Little Coins
Written by Carolyn Warvel
Sing to the tune of "Mary Had a Little Lamb"

A woman had ten little coins,
Little coins, little coins,
A women had ten little coins,
but lost one on the ground.

She got a broom and swept the floor
Swept the floor, swept the floor,
She got a broom and swept the floor,
until the coin was found.

Then she called to all her friends,
all her friends, all her friends
Come and see what I have found
What was lost has been found.

 

Jesus Came to Seek and Save
Written by Carolyn Warvel
Sing to the tune of "Mary Had a Little Lamb"

Jesus came to seek and save,
Seek and save, seek and save,
Jesus came to seek and save,
All those that have been lost.

Jesus came to seek and save,
Seek and save, seek and save,
Jesus came to seek and save,
Luke, Chapter Nineteen, Ten.
