FHE: Bible Stories

Today was super crazy, and last week was spent sick, so I'm quite behind on my planning.  We just whipped out this lift-the-flap bible stories book we have and read through some of the stories and talked about what we can learn from them.  Then we played "hide the sunglasses".  The object that you hide can be anything. Peach decided what we would hide today.

The kids had so much fun with the activity last week they asked what it was today, and I think it is important that we do them every week.  I wish I was better at thinking about activities that are relevant to our lesson.

FHE: Child Led from Gospel Art Book

This month, The Frog picked the picture "with the volcano", the one on pg 20 "Elijah contends against the priests of Baal".  My husband told the story behind the picture and then we played Sardines.  They loved it!  (daddy hid last and nobody could find him...)

FHE: The Power of Prayer

I asked them: Is Prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?  We asked them about what that might mean, and then explained what it means.

They didn't know what a spare tire was, and so we told them, and how each of us has only ever used one a couple of times. The steering wheel must be used every time you want to go anywhere.  We should pray every day, rather than only in emergencies.
