Practice What You Preach (Preschool Adaptation)

Let's play a fun game! I'll tell you what to do. Listen carefully!

Touch your nose! (Kids touch their nose.)

Clap your hands! (Kids clap.)

Sit down! (Kids sit.)

Good job listening! Now let's play a silly game. When I say "Don't touch your head," you DO touch your head! Ready?

Don't touch your head! (Kids touch their head and giggle.)

Don't clap! (Kids clap.)

Don't stand up! (Kids stand up.)

That was silly! Sometimes people say one thing but do something different. That's not good.

Jesus wants us to do what we say. If we say "Be kind," we should BE kind. If we say "Share your toys," we should SHARE our toys.

Jesus saw some grown-ups who told people to be good, but they weren't being good themselves. That made Jesus sad.

Jesus wants us to match! If we say "Be nice," we should BE nice too. If we say "Help others," we should HELP others too.

Let's practice! Say "I love Jesus!" Now give someone a hug to show your love!

Say "Be kind!" Now say something nice to a friend!

Jesus is happy when we do what we say. We can show others how much we love Jesus by being good!

Let's pray: Dear God, help us do good things just like we say good things. Help us show everyone how much we love Jesus. Amen.
