- Third one said, “I want to sleep.” (3 fingers up – rest head on hands)
- Fourth one said, “Let’s dive and dip.” (4 fingers up – hand dives and dips)
- Fifth one said, “I spy a ship.” (5 fingers up – peer out under hand)
- Fishermen’s boat comes, (Fingers form V and move away from body)
- Line goes ker-splash! (Pantomime throwing fishing line)

Bible Song: (Tune: I’m a Little Teapot) Take your little hand and pat-pat-pat. Take your little hand and pat-pat-pat. Take your little hand and pat-pat-pat. Pat the Holy Bible.
Bible Reading: Open, point to words, and read, “_____ will fish for people!” Add family members, friends, pets…
Closing Prayer: (Tune: Are You Sleeping?) God is listening, God is listening – when we pray, when we pray. Fold our hands so nicely, close our eyes so quietly – now we’ll pray, now we’ll pray. *Thank God for specific things learned today, pray to share Jesus with others, pray for specific requests.
