  • As a child looks in the mirror, talk about King David. Point to David in the Teaching Picture. Comment that David was a good king; God helped David and made a special promise to him.
  • Offer to take each child’s picture wearing the king’s robe and crown.

Life Point: God helps people.
Weekly Verse: God, You are great. There is no one like You. 2 Samuel 7:22
Materials: Teaching Picture 9, wooden or plastic people figures, wooden blocks

  • Prop the Teaching Picture near the blocks and the people figures.
  • As kids play, talk about the Bible story. Point to David in the Teaching Picture. Comment that God planned for David to be king of Israel, and for his family to be the rulers forever.
  • Tell kids that God helps people. Ask kids to talk about how God helps them.

Kindergarten—Make a Mobile

Bible Story: King David 2 Samuel 7–8
Life Point: God helps people.
Weekly Verse: God, You are great. There is no one like You. 2 Samuel 7:22
Materials: Bible, large geometric shapes cut from different colors of construction paper, markers or gel pens, hole punch, yarn, wooden or plastic embroidery hoops        

  • Mark the Weekly Verse in the Bible with a paper shape. Print the Life Point and the Weekly Verse on separate papers. Cut yarn into 12- to 15-inch lengths.
  • Briefly tell the Bible story as kids show interest in the activity. Comment that David was a good king and God promised that someone from his family would rule forever.
  • Read the Life Point and the Weekly Verse from the papers. Tell kids they can make a mobile using the paper shapes. Guide kids to print one or two words of either the Life Point or Weekly Verse on separate shapes. Kids can punch a hole in each shape and tie a length of yarn in the hole. Assist in laying the other ends of the yarn across one part of the hoop. Add two more pieces of yarn for a hanger. After you assemble the two hoops, tie together the ends of the yarn.
  • Encourage kids to put the mobile in their rooms to remind them to do what God wants them to do.
