Activities + Resources
Do you like to play games? Games are fun! Sometimes when we play games, we make two teams. One team goes here, and one team goes there!
Let's play a game! Do you like apples or bananas? If you like apples, come stand here. If you like bananas, come stand there. Good job!
Do you like puppies or kitties? Puppies go here. Kitties go there. You did it!
Do you like to sing or dance? Singers here. Dancers there. So good!
We all like different things! That's okay! Jesus knows we are all different. Jesus loves us all the same!
Jesus wants everyone to love Him. Jesus wants everyone to be on His team. But some people say yes to Jesus, and some people say no. That makes Jesus sad.
Who wants to be on Jesus' team? Come stand here! Yes! You all want to be on Jesus' team! That makes Jesus so happy!
We can tell our friends about Jesus. We can say "Jesus loves you!" We can pray for our friends too.
Jesus, we love You! We want to be on Your team! Help us tell our friends that You love them too. Amen.
