While working on lesson plans for Sunday School, it occurred to me that I might as well put my gatherings together in a blog post. In my limited Sunday morning time, I will only be able to use a small fraction of the resources that I gather, but I tend to go OCD when I follow a theme! Besides, who knows when, how, for what, or where I might need to use these ideas in the future? I'm a little late sharing my supplemental lesson ideas for tomorrow's lesson, but in the future I'm hoping to post on Mondays for the upcoming Sundays. This was actually a very difficult lesson to collect ideas for, as there are more adult sermons than Sunday school lessons on the web for this topic. Adapt and overcome!
I use Toddler Level Word Aflame Curriculum, and this week is Week 7: Jesus Heals a Man at Church.
Lesson Focus: Jesus heals people at church.
Scripture Text: Matthew 12:9-13
Bible Words: Jesus does good things!
Coloring Pages: Jesus Heals a Man With a Withered Hand
Lesson (Age-Adaptable): Jesus Heals a Crippled Hand
This curriculum contains a little bit of everything: coloring, puzzles, games, lessons, etc.
Lesson (Activities): Man With the Shriveled Hand
Lesson: Jesus Healed a Withered Hand
Book List (Hands):
- The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn
- Press Here by Herve' Tullet
- My Hands by Aliki
- Wash Your Hands by Tony Ross
- Hands Are Not For Hitting by Martine Agassi PhD
- One Hand, Two Hand by Max Lucado
Hand Print Craft Ideas: Choose what works for you based upon holiday/season/occasion, etc. These images did not have a website for me to credit, so let me say a special "Thank you" to the collection creators for their idea share!
Sensory Learning:
- Teach the steps of hand washing Hands-on
- Provide a variety of sensory textures (sand paper, dirt, velvet, satin, water, feathers, egg in a bowl , etc) and talk about how things feel (wet, rough, soft, slimy,etc.)
- Provide an ample supply of lock or snap-together blocks for children to build their own church structure. Talk about how Jesus healed the crippled hand at church and how Jesus is still The Healer today!
- Allow time for children to explore a busy board. Some interesting DIY busy boards can be viewed at the following sites: DIY Busy Board, DIY Busy Board For Toddler Motor Developement, Latches Board For Toddler, DIY Busy Board For Kids, Homemade Busy Board For Fine Motor Developement
Have fun! If you have any suggestions for this topic, just comment them to me and I will look into adding them to this page! I always appreciate idea-swapping!
