Today we are looking at the ultimate hero, God. (note, if you wish to differentiate between God the father and Jesus then you may want to insert ‘part of’ into that sentence)
Essential Teachers notes:
God is always watching us, for some that is a scary thought but the comforting element is what we need to stress throughout this lesson.
Main Passage: Proverbs 15 :3
As this is a verse following a biblical theme rather than a story I’ve not used a specific bible story. The story below is a true event that happened to myself and my friend. If you have a similar story to share then do. Being real to your kids rather than reading a book helps make Christianity live in their imaginations. …continue reading about Attributes of God (Watching) | Story

Hidden eyes – ideally you would use ping pong balls with the iris drawn on for this game which grosses hide the thimble with hide and seek, but in reality circles of paper or anything that could represent eyes will work.
Blind man’s buff – This traditional game links in more aptly than may seem at first glance, it opens the conversation to how secure you feel when you seem to be in some way alone.

The thankful leper (Luke 17) | Craft
The lepar being healed is only one part of the story, the saying thank you is the point that the children need to take home, but for the craft we focus on the visual transformation.
This craft can be made 3 ways, dependant on your resources. Images for craft at end of post.
First option : lamination
Print out on paper one copy of the hero image for reference. Print image 1 (healed leper) onto paper or card and laminate. Hand out dry markers / chalk markers / felt tips, or whatever you are using. Get the children to draw the sores on their laminated leper. During prayer time explain that no matter what marks us, Jesus has the power to make us clean, just like he healed the leper. Give the children wet-wipes and let them wipe their images clean. If there is time left let them play decorating and redecorating their craft.
Second option : Spinners
Print out both images on card, or back images on card stock. Stick the images back to back taking care to line up the positions. Punch a hole at the left and right hand side of the images. Use string or wool to make 2 loops and attach to the holes. Holding on loop on each hand, spin / wind the image by spinning in a circle. Pull the threads to see the spots appear on the leper, when you stop they disappear. …continue reading about The thankful leper (Luke 17) | Craft
Prayer props – words
Prayer with children can become a very formulaic thing. It’s important to give a space, especially as the child gets older, to allow the child to prayer independently. A simple way of doing this is to occasionally set up a prayer area which has a small task in it.
This is a simple way of getting the children to think about the prayer needs they may anticipate for the coming season or event, or prayer related to a specific word you have been using in your lesson. You could use whatever word you think will spark their imagination or link into their needs.
