Preschool
Have fun learning and playing with your preschooler! Activity Dancing Like David
First, watch this week’s video!
What You Need: Aluminum foil and several food items with distinct shapes like a can of soup, a banana, an apple, a small box of pasta, etc. What You Do: Tape two parallel lines on the floor about three-feet apart and six-feet long to create a pathway. Say, “Let’s say our memory verse together and do the motions. ‘Always (draw large circles with index finger) give thanks (move flat hand forward from lips) to God,’ (hold open palm with thumb to forehead and pull down) Ephesians 5:20. (Open hands like a book.) Great job! In our Bible story, we learned how David danced and sang as a way to say thank you to God! I want you to dance all the way down this path as we say our memory verse together. [Child’s name], show me your dance down the path as we say the memory verse. ‘Always give thanks to God,’ Ephesians 5:20. Great dancing! Wow! Those were some pretty awesome dance moves! David showed God that he was thankful by dancing and singing, and we can too! There are lots of ways we can say ‘Thank You, God,’ anytime and anywhere.”
Bible Story David Praises God (2 Samuel 6:12-15; Psalm 149:1-5
Remember This “Always give thanks to God.” Ephesians 5:20, NIrV
Say This Who can you thank for everything? I can thank God for everything.
Prayer “God, we love You! We want to say thank you all the time, everywhere, for everything! Thanks for loving us and giving us so many good things. In Jesus’ name, we pray, amen.”
