This Week in NewLife Kids

Big Game Show – Elementary

MAIN POINT:  I Will Help Others!

BIBLE LESSON:  Ruth, Naomi, and Boaz - The Book of Ruth

BIBLE VERSE:  “And don’t forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God.” Hebrews 13:16 (NLT)

Family Activity

You never know when the chance will come up to help others. Play a game this week to see who can help the most when they get the chance. Put a bell, a bicycle horn, or other noise-making device in a common place in the house. Decorate it if you wish and call it the Help Bell or Help Horn. Each time a family member is doing a chore this week, allow him or her to ask for help by ringing the Help Bell. The person who responds first can then help with the task. Keep track of how many times each person helps. Have a special reward at the end of the week for the family member who helps the most. We should always help someone when we have the chance.

Big Game Show – Pre-K and Toddler

Main Point: I Will Talk And Not Fight!

Bible Lesson: Jacob flees Laban - Genesis 31

Bible Verse: “So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise.” Ephesians 5:15 (NLT)

Family Activity

Adults: Prior to the activity, string some of the bells on the ribbon.

1. Place the bells somewhere in the house.

2. Tell your family what to do when they have a disagreement.

Say: When you feel like fighting with someone in the family, run to the bells and ring them. We’ll gather together and talk about the problem instead of fighting.

NOTE to Parent:  Please help your child learn their bible verse for the week – if they know it from memory they will receive a prize each week.
