FunShine Faith Lesson- Mana is Sweet

Bible Story Time

Using the props again we reviewed the bible story then discussed times in our life that make we don't reley on God when w should. When we are mad, or afraid.

Art: 

Manna baskets

Using the supply provided we made baskets for our manna

Each child cut the paper plate in half, colored the plate and added the honey bee stickers.

We then used the basket for our music activity.

Music and Movement - pick in' up manna 

After making our manna baskets we sang this song while picking up the manna and filling our baskets. 

Pickin up Manna sung to the paw paw patch 

Pickin' up manna; drop it in the basket

Pickin' up manna; drop it in the basket

Pickin' up manna; drop it in the basket

Enough for just one day

Come on ( child's name); pick up the manna

Come on ( child's name); pick up the manna

Come on ( child's name); pick up the manna

Funshine Faith Lesson- God sends Manna

Bible Story Time: at the beginning of each month our Good ferried Goody comes and shared with us a new lesson that's on his heart. This month we pulled out coriander seeds. Normally it's simple for the kids to guess what Goody is thinking but today they had some trouble. Using the Story props I shared the story in  Exodus 16 we talked about how God provides for us as well .

Mix and Make 

Using playdoh we pretended to be bakes and make loves of bread.

The pandas love learning the new action rhymes to do before we pray. They were excited that this one encourages them to stand.

Funshine Faith Lesson- Give Praise

Bible Story Time

The Lords Prayer today the Pandas (the name of my class) followed along as I read the story book The Lords Prayer.

I then used the questions provided in the curiculm to reenforce the story. Then used the discussion ideas.

Music and Movement: We sang the Give Praise song provided first to learn the words then we grabbed instruments and then marched around the room.

Enrichment activity 

Each panda got a prayer book sheet and colored the page we want over the words so they can read it on their own.

Bible Art: My Prayer

Each child got a blue piece of paper. They folded  the paper like a card. On the outside they glued a Dollie  then stuck a snowflake sticker on top.

As they did this I reminded them that each snowflake is different not one of them is alike use like us. God made us all different and he cares for each and every one of us. Inside the card they traced their hands.

Fun Shine Faith Lesson- Put God First

Bible Story Time:  I used the story props to review our story this month, The Lords Prayer. We then went over why we pray and when we should pray.

Music and Movement: They Loves the P-R-A-Y Pray sound from the curriculm. We got out instruments and sand it fast then slow, loud then soft.

Bible Art: Today we made pray banners. Using the materials that came in the curriculm we made our banners while listening to whisper a prayer.

We hung them on our letter bulletin board pray and penguin both begin with Pp

Funshine Faith Lesson -Jesus teaches us to pray

To start our January faith lesson we the story treasure out of Goodythe class gave me suggestions on what the boy was doing and then we talked about what the boy could be praying about.

Story: using the story cards given in the curriculm I went over the Lord prayer and why we pray.

I love the story displays

Additional activities: using the activity on page 4 

I put the letters p.r.a.y on blocks and had the class spell out the work pray. We then discussed different people to pray for and  wrote there names on other blocks and we then built towers with the foundation for prayer with our friends in the middle.
