Kindergarten— Make a Mobile
Bible Story: Hezekiah and the People Worshiped 2 Chronicles 29
Life Point: People at church sing and play music to worship God.
Weekly Verse: Come, let us worship God. Psalm 95:6
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 Psalm 95:6 in the Bible with a paper shape. Print the Life Point and the Weekly Verse on separate papers. Cut yarn into 6- to 8-inch lengths.
- Briefly tell the Bible story as kids show interest in the activity. Comment that Hezekiah was a good king because he did what God wanted him to do.
- 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.
