Day 3: Lesson and Activities
- Open Bible to Mark 1:17-18. Ask if child wants to touch God’s Word. Touch gently. Then, read the verses.
Children’s Bible Reading: Open Say & Pray Bible. Read story, verse, and prayer. Look at pictures. Jesus says He will make us fishers of people! That means we should share Jesus with people we meet!
Activity #1:
- Prep: Make a line with painter’s tape on the floor.
- Have your child “follow Jesus” by following you. Walk across the tape. Have them follow. Change the action each time: tiptoe, hop, skip, dance, crawl, run…
- Sing I Will Make You Fishers of Men I will make you fishers of men if you follow Me, if you follow Me, if you follow Me. I will make you fishers of men if you follow Me.
Activity #2:
- Prep: Tape butcher paper to the floor.
- Have your child lay down on the paper – trace around their body. Look! It’s a person! Jesus wants us to share Him with other people.
- Decorate the person – markers, paint, stickers, googly eyes…
- Sing above song.
Activity #3:
- Move the flashlight to make a “path” to follow. Jesus is the Light of the world. Let’s follow the light path!
Closing: Mark 1:17, I will show you how to fish for people! Let’s follow Jesus and share Him with other people!
