Love God and Others (Preschool Adaptation)

Jesus loves you so much! Let's make a heart with our hands like this. (Show them how to make a heart shape with hands.)

Let's sing our favorite song! Every time we say "love," make a heart with your hands!

Jesus loves me, this I know,
For the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to him belong;
They are weak but he is strong.

Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.

Good job making hearts! Jesus wants us to love too. Jesus says we should love God. Love God with your whole heart! (Point to heart.) Love God so much!

Jesus also says love your friends. Love your mommy and daddy. Love your brother and sister. Love everyone!

When we love God and love our friends, we are happy. God is happy too!

Let's practice! Who do you love? Say "I love God!" Now make a heart! Say "I love my family!" Make another heart! Say "I love my friends!" Make a big heart!

Let's pray and ask God to help us love:

Dear God, help us love You. Help us love our family. Help us love our friends. We love You, God! Amen.

Remember: Jesus loves you, and you can love others too! Make hearts with your hands when you go home and remember Jesus loves you!
