Hey Kids

This week is all about  choosing to be a peacemaker even when people are treating you badly for doing so. We are exploring the story of Daniel and the Lions Den to see what it is like to be treated badly for doing what you know to be right.

Bible Texts -Matthew 5:10

Daniel 6

Words To Remember

Those who are treated badly for doing good are happy.

The kingdom of heaven belongs to them.

Matthew 5:10

Lion Craft

In our story about Daniel and the Lion’s Den this week, God kept Daniel safe because he trusted in God and followed what God said. This little lion is a reminder that God will keep you safe if you trust in him.

To make your lion, you’ll need:

  • this lion template printed onto paper or card. Or, you can just try it on a plain piece of paper

  • different coloured strips of paper for the lions mane

  • a marker to draw the lions face

  • glue

Glue around the circle on the template and stick the coloured strips of paper all around the circle to make the mane. Then, draw the face on and you’re good to go!

How to Make the Folding Craft Stick Canvas:

  • 1. Cut the one-inch masking into 4-inch pieces.

    2. Place two sticks together, side by side, and tape them together covering both the sticks with the tape.

    3. Turn the two sticks over so that they are diagonal to you.

    4. Place another craft stick next to and below the two sticks that you taped together. Use another piece of tape to tape the bottom two sticks together.

    5. Turn all three sticks over diagonally and place another stick at the bottom of the row and tape the last two sticks together. Keep going until you have a whole row of sticks.

    6. You can also cover the first and last stick in the row by placing tape over the stick and then folding it back over the stick. It is easier to write on the tape than the craft stick. The ink soaks into the sticks and blurs.Children can use permanent markers, pens, or colored pencils to write the Bible verse on the sticks and then decorate them. They can also draw a picture on the back of the sticks that represent the Ten Commandments.

    If a child messes up while working on his canvas, you can pull off the tape where he messed up and replace it with new tape.

See if you can do this experiment at home.

Play Musical Statues: When the music plays, the children will dance and STOP when the music is paused.

Know that Jesus is with us when we are doing things and when we are still. While we are waiting for the music to start or for the next thing we have to do, rest and know that Jesus loves you so much.
