Harvest on 12 Oct 2014

Harvest on 12 Oct 2014

20 x  8-11 year olds

1.     Warm up game – Fruit Shakes

Suitable party music.

 

Like musical statues, when the music stops the kids become statues

 

The twist – as the music stops the leader shouts out the name of a fruit or vegetable, and the children have to make the shape of that fruit/vegetable as a statue.

 

2.     Bible Drama

Read out 1 Kings 17:8-16

This passage is an example of Gods provision and Gods abundant care for his children. God is not  a God who is mean, but a God who delights to give.

Kids in Pairs

They can act out the story – but try to convey the emotions and feelings of Elijah and the widow at different stages in the story

Exaggerate the emotions with hand and body movements.

Before we start, think how you would act it out, think of these questions

1)      How would Elijah felt when he saw the woman?

2)      Was he sure she was the woman whom God had chosen to provide for him?

3)      How do you think the woman was feeling as she replied?

4)      Do you think that the woman believed Ellijay or, do you think she thought they were going to die anyway then might as well share their last meal?

5)      How do you think that the both felt when the bowl did not run out of the flour or the oil run out?

6)      How do you think they felt each day?

7)      What difference did it make to their lives?

 

(time taken to plan it)

Read the bible verse thru so they can practise….

Does anybody want to show their drama?

 

Discuss their feelings – sadness that the widow had no food. Willingness of widow to share. Wonder that God had met their needs to miraculously

 

What do you feel like when you realise that others in the worlds have no food?

How could we share our food with them?

How do you think others would feel to know that Christians in the UK were sharing with them?

 

1 Kings 17:8-16The Voice (VOICE)

⁸ The Lord  gave him this message:

The Lord: ⁹ Get up, and travel to Zarephath. It is in the possession of Sidon, which is outside Israel. Remain there, and do not leave for any reason. There is a widow in Zarephath whom I have told to take care of you.

¹⁰ Elijah got up and immediately travelled to Zarephath. He arrived at the city gate, and at that moment, a widow was picking up sticks nearby.

Elijah: Please bring me some water in a jar to quench my thirst.

¹¹ (as she fetched the water) Also, could you please bring me a piece of bread?

Woman: ¹² As certain as The Lord, your True God lives, I don’t have any bread. In fact, I am starving. I don’t have anything except for a bit of flour in a bowl and a few drops of oil in a jar. I was gathering sticks when you arrived to make a fire so that my son and I could eat one last bite of food and then die. It’s all over for us.

Elijah: ¹³ I assure you that it’s not over for you yet. Don’t be afraid. Continue what you were doing, but make a small bread cake for me first, and bring it here to me. Then you and your son may eat your own bread cakes. ¹⁴ This is the message of the God of Israel: “The flour and the oil will not run out until the moment when the Eternal showers the earth with rain.”

¹⁵ She did exactly as Elijah had instructed her to do, and everyone who lived in her house had food for days. ¹⁶ The bowl of flour and the jar of oil did not run out, just as The Lord had said through Elijah.

Sunday School June 2014,Out On Top: The Sermon on the mount

Game ZIP, ZAP, BOING, POW

Description:

Sit your group in a circle. Explain that you are going to pass 'Nothin' round the circle. Choose a player to start and explain that they should pass 'Nothing' to the player on their left by pointing their two forefingers like a gun at the person and saying 'Zip'. The person who receives the 'Nothing' then chooses what action to take from the following:

Zip: To pass the 'Nothing' onto the next player.

Zap: To pass the 'Nothing' back in the opposite direction.

Boing: To miss a player out and pass the 'Nothing' to the person just beyond the one sitting next to you.

Pow: Whilst holding a fist above your head, point at a player across the other side of the circle. This passes the 'Nothing' to them and they can choose which direction to pass it in. The only rule is that you cannot Boing or Pow somebody who has just Boing'ed or Pow'ed you. If anyone hesitates, looks in the wrong direction or passes to somebody who is already out then they will be out. The winner is the last one left in.

MAKE A MOUNTAIN OUT OF...

Duration: 10 mins

Equipment required: A roll of masking tape per small group of children, newspapers for each group, a small figurine - such as a lego or playmobile figure, for each group OR pipecleaners for them to make their own figurine. Optional sweets for small prize.

Description:

Divide the children into small groups of about 3 or 4. Give each group a roll of masking tape, a selection of newspapers and a small figure of a person or pipecleaners to make their own person.

Explain to the children that the aim is for them to make a mountain out of the tape and newspaper within 5 minutes. There are no rules, only that the mountain is able to support the figure on the top.

At the end of 5 minutes, call a stop to the proceedings. Ask the children to place the figure on the top of their mountain and then allow them all to stand back and admire their handiwork.

Walk round and comment positively on each creation - you may wish to award a token prize to the tallest creation.

Once you have finished this, ask the children to sit down, and explain that we are looking at the life of Jesus. After choosing His disciples, Jesus then went up a mountain and spoke to his disciples and all those who had flocked to hear and see him.

What he said was so important that it was recorded in the Bible and is now known as the "Sermon on the Mount" because Jesus taught the people from the side of a mountain.

The Point: To introduce the fact that Jesus went up on a mountain to teach the people.

 

GUESS WHO

Duration: 10 mins

Equipment required: A piece of rectangular paper for each child, approximately a third of A4 and a

pencil for each child.

Description:

Divide the children into small groups of 4. Give each child a pencil and piece of paper.

Explain to the children that after he had chosen his disciples, all sorts of people flocked to Jesus to see Him, hear Him speak and to be healed from their diseases. They came from all over the place, but were drawn to Jesus because of what they had heard about Him. Jesus was almost the celebrity of His day and country. Everyone wanted to see him for themselves.

Ask the children to fold their paper into four and make crease marks down the paper. In the top quarter ask the children to draw the head of a person -and to make the marks where the neck should start.

Once they have completed drawing the head, they should fold their paper over so that the picture is  covered, but so that the bottom of the neck should be visible at the start of the next quarter. On the word pass - they should then pass the paper on to the next person who must not peep underneath the flap. Everyone should receive a new piece of paper and they must draw in the second quarter a person from the neck down to the waist. Once they have done this, they must fold over their drawing so that only the marks showing where the waist has finished are visible.

Again on the word, all children have to pass their drawing on to the next person, without peeping at what has been drawn. They must then draw from the waist down to ankle. Once again they fold over it when finished and on the word, pass it on once more. Finally they have to draw the feet of their character.

For the last time they pass their paper on, and the next person unfolds the paper to see the person they have created. All the groups can then admire and hopefully laugh at the people they have created.

Conclude the session by reminding the children that all sorts of people flocked to see Jesus - men, women, children, local people and those from further afield - all because they wanted to see him and meet him.

The Point: To realise that Jesus was like a celebrity of his day - crowds flocked to see him because of who he was, what he did and said.

COMPETITION CALL MY BLUFF

Duration: 15 mins

Equipment required: Pen and paper for each child. Call My Bluff Worksheet (attached).

Description:

Divide the group into two teams - each team is to sit facing the other. In turn give each team a "set" of a word and three definitions.

Team A begins by holding up the word for Team B to see, Three members of the team read the three definitions as convincingly as possible. Then Team B has to decide which is the true definition. If they are right they receive the word, if wrong Team A keeps it.

Play passes to Team B who is given a new word and three definitions. The play continues as before, and play is continues until all words are used up.

The team with the most words at the end are the winners.

Before concluding this activity - ask the children why we played this game. It was in order to distinguish between the truth and what was false.

Explain that today we are learning about the life of Jesus. In particular we are learning about the time when Jesus started to teach His disciples. Flocks of people came to listen to Jesus - Jesus healed their illnesses and He then started to teach the people what was important - He taught them the true way to live. Jesus said it was important that people listened to Him and that they acted on what they heard.

They had to make a decision - just as each team had to decide on a definition and choose one – Jesus told the people that they had to choose to live in the way of truth.

The Point: To learn that Jesus taught his disciples and crowd that came to listen the true way to live that pleases God. It was an important message.

BIBLE STUDY  - AUTHORITY

Duration: 25 mins

Description:

Choose four/five of the children who are good at acting to mime the three following jobs. Tell the other children that you would like them to guess what job the children are acting.

• Teacher

• Lawyer or judge

• Policeman/woman

• King/Queen

• Traffic warden

Ask the children to think about what these people might have in common - answer should be that they are all people in authority. They all have some power or authority- albeit different. You might find it useful to briefly discuss the meaning of authority at this point. A good definition is 'the power to command, control or judge others' - some one who knows they are in a position to tell you what to do.

Ask the children whether they obey what a teacher, judge, policeman, etc. says they must do and why. Tell the children that today we are learning more about the life of Jesus. After choosing his disciples, crowds of people came to see Jesus, to be healed by him and to learn from him. Jesus responded byteaching them about how they should live.

Ask someone to read Matthew 7:28-29

No-one asked "what right has Jesus to tell us how to live?" - instead people were amazed because Jesus spoke with authority. Jesus had the right given to Him by God to teach the people how God wanted them to live.

In the Bible Jesus often tells us how to live our lives. Look at the rest of the sermon on the mount in Luke 6:27-37. If it is appropriate for your group you could read the whole passage, if the whole passage is too complicated for your group then summarise Jesus rules as follows:

• Love your enemies

• Give things to people and don't expect anything in return

• Show mercy

• Do not judge other people

• Forgive everything

Discuss what Jesus tells us to do. Do the children do what Jesus tells them? Why? Why not? Do the children think that Jesus has authority?

You might like to finish with a prayer asking Jesus to help us follow his rules better.

The Point: To ask the children to think about not the detail of what Jesus said, but the fact that Jesus taught with authority and people wanted to listen to Him and obey what He said because of who He was.

 

The Sermon on the Mount Lived Out by a 12 Year Old - Sermon Videos http://www.godtube.com/watch/?v=WLP7ZWNX

 

 

Pentecost revisitied - 12 June 2014

Pentecost - thursday after Pentecost Sunday

(mid week group, 8 -11 )

1)      game – uno spin

 

2)      Pentecost           Acts 2:1-42

Pentecost is the festival when Christians celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit. It is celebrated on the Sunday 50 days after Easter (the name comes from the Greek pentekoste, "fiftieth").

Pentecost Symbols

The symbols of Pentecost are those of the Holy Spirit and include flames, wind, the breath of God and a dove.

It has a historical significance, as it commemorates God giving the Torah to Moses on Mt. Sinai. It also commemorates the time when the first fruits of the wheat harvest were brought to the Temple in the form of leavened bread (Lev 23:17).

 

 

3)      Video  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtokHQOmFu0

 

4)    Sit quietly….

“the followers of Jesus were trying to work out what they were supposed to do now that Jesus had died, risen again and gone to heaven. Their entire ministry so far had been with Jesus – he could teach them what to do, but now he wasn’t there to help them! They had gathered together in a room in Jerusalem, and it was during the festival of Pentecost.”

Put on fan

“as the believers were gathered, a strong wind filled the room.”

how strange this would have been - wind inside the house?!

“something even stranger happened. Something appeared over the heads of the disciples“ .. light jar

What do you think the atmosphere is the room was like?

What had happened? The Holy Spirit had arrived,
and filled each of them, giving them God’s power. The believers began to speak in different languages – ones they have never even heard before!

At the time loads of people were in in Jerusalem from all over the area, from lots of different countries. They could hear the noise from inside the house.

 ‘What is happening?’ they asked. ‘I can hear people talking about God in my own language, how is this possible?’

Some of the people laughed at them, thinking the believers were crazy or drunk. No one knew what was going on!

Then Peter stood up in front of the crowd which had gathered and began to speak. He spoke with passion and authority. The people listened to him. He reminded the people that the prophets had told them that this would happen, that God was going to send his spirit to help them. He told them about Jesus, and about how he had been sent as a gift from God for the people, but the people had rejected him and put him to death.

Those that were listening felt terrible about what they had done to Jesus, and they asked Peter what they should do. He told them that they should change their lives, turn to Jesus who has the power to forgive all people, and be baptised.

The Bible tells us that about 3000 people turned to Jesus that day ! 

It’s often called the “Birthday of the church”

 

5)    Response:

Lead the group in a game of musical statues. Instead of watching out for people who are moving when the music stops and them being out, ask people to use the moment in silence to think about the story, and about what God is saying to them. Make sure you leave an appropriate pause between each section of music. Encourage energetic dancing to the music to celebrate the forgiveness that we have in Jesus.

 

6)    Craft

Windsocks! Pentecost is when a rushing wind brought The Holy Spirit! The Holy Spirit is like the wind; we can’t see it, but it’s there. Sometimes, we can feel it though! Each child can choose a colored paper bag, cut off the bottom to make a tube. Decorate with stickers, foam, sequins, and markers. Glue/tape streamers to one end, and tape a piece of yarn to each side of the other end to make a handle.

7)    Praying for People

each kid has a piece of paper .   A4 in quarters

Where they write the name of someone they would like God to bless this week.

They might like to include some detail on the person or their situation,

 

 Once done, ask everyone to scrunch up their paper into a ball and on cue throw them (gently!) into the air.

 

Everyone should then catch another one, open it up and pray for the person on the paper.

 

 

Jesus - who do you say he is? 24 April 2014

Intro game – Uno Spin

Opening Activity –

Pictures of famous people, covered with post its, the kids have to try and guess who they are

Q: in our day to day lives, how can we tell who people are? Seeing their face is most obvious, but we also know people by their voices, mannerisms… etc etc

Bible Story-

Kids construct a boat out of big cardboard boxes beforehand 

And given jobs to do to act out the story – Jesus , disciples, storm (making noises)

Practise storm noises/sounds.. Show Simple signs to raise volume of storm, lower it… stop completely

Luke 8:22-25

In summary – Jesus was very powerful, but the friends didn't understand who he was…

Video clip – “who was Jesus”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKo4Hsbti1E

& discussion

Sit and think

Who was Jesus, play Larry Norman, The Outlaw

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKjCOOF7MMc&feature=youtu.be

(we discussed who Jesus was, looked at the lyrics below, and thought about our personal choice of what we thought he was to us.. some great conversations) 

Larry Norman - the Outlaw

Some say he was an outlaw that he roamed across the land
With a band of unschooled ruffians and few old fishermen
No one knew just where he came from or exactly what he'd done
But they said it must be something bad that kept him on the run

Some say he was a poet that he'd stand upon the hill
That his voice could calm an angry crowd and make the waves stand still
That he spoke in many parables that few could understand
But the people sat for hours just to listen to this man

Some say he was a sorcerer, a man of mystery
He could walk upon the water, he could make a blind man see
That he conjured wine at weddings and did tricks with fish and bread
That he talked of being born again and raised people from the dead

Some say a politician, who spoke of being free
He was followed by the masses on the shores of Galilee
He spoke out against corruption and he bowed to no decree
And they feared his strength and power so they nailed him to a tree

Some say he was the Son of God, a man above all men
That he came to be a servant and to set us free from sin
And that's who I believe he is 'cause that's what I believe
And I think we should get ready 'cause it's time for us to leave

13th April 2014 - Palm Sunday

Game- hit me

One child in the middle of a big circle

One child has the sponge ball. He counts loudly to 10. As he counts the rest of the children run around the room as far away as they can.

When the player with the ball reaches ten everyone has to stay where they are.

The player with the ball then chooses one of the children to throw the ball at, aiming to hit them on or below the knee. If he hits that child then the child has the ball for the next go. If he doesn't hit anyone he keeps the ball again for another try.

Growing words

Kids sit in a circle

Each child has to say a word of a certain number of letters, starting from 3. 1^st says a word starting with A, 2^nd with B etc…

If Z is ever made, increase number of letters to 4..

(this was popular!)

Enter the King

Shrek 2

Summary:

In Shrek 1 Fiona (who is an ogre by night and a princess by day) has been rescued from a tower by the ogre Shrek. She has made the choice to become an ogre like her husband. Her parents, who still think that she was rescued by Prince Charming and is a Princess 24/ 7, have invited her and her husband for a visit. In this clip Fiona and Shrek arrive ...

Start time: 11:56 - the carriage enters the castle precincts

End time: 14:13 "And this is my husband, Shrek!"

Length of clip: 2:57

Play the clip and discuss these questions:

· How were Shrek and Fiona supposed to be welcomed?

· Who was involved in the ceremony?

· What happened when Shrek got out of the carriage?

· Why did everyone stop cheering?

· What sort of people get royal welcomes today - how many can you think of?

· Why do we go out of our way to line the streets to watch royalty or pop stars go past?

· What sort of thing would make us stop welcoming people this way?

· If a large crowd welcomes someone what do we think about that person?

Puppet Palms

Equipment required: Paper, pens, scissors, glue, Bibles.

Ask the children to make the props you will need to tell the story by puppet show.

Disciples

Donkey

Colt

Jesus

Big leaves and trees

Religious leaders

Coats to be thrown onto the ground

“crowds”

Some of the children need to make disciples. Two should cut out the donkey and the colt. One child needs to make Jesus, who should have a cut between his legs so he can mount the colt later on!

Some children need to make long leaves attached to kitchen roll tube to be trees, some need to make religious leaders - dress them in robes - and some should make coats to be thrown onto the ground.

If you have a large group some can make "crowd" - a piece of paper with lots of small people drawn on them.

When the props are ready tell the story using a table as the stage.

Read it from Mark 11:1-10 and John 12:19.

On the first reading, after each verse talk about which puppets will need to be on stage and agree who is going to hold them and where they might move.

Then read the story a second time with the children moving the puppets around without prompting.

You may like to video the children's puppet show so that they can watch it a third time!!!

Ask the children why they think Jesus came into Jerusalem like that?

Do you think he wanted everyone to notice that he had arrived? Why?

Elijah – March 9th 2014

1.     Game – Busy Bees

Ask each child to find a partner and to space themselves out in the room.

The leader calls out various commands which the children are to obey, such as "Stand side to side", "Back to back", "Link Elbows","Join a the knees" etc.

However when the leader calls "Busy Bees", each player has to try to find a new partner. The leader also joins in and finds a partner. The one who has no partner becomes the leader for the next round.

 

2.     Game – Handover

Select a player to be the King.

This person faces the wall and the other players stand behind the King without moving.

The King throws the ball over their head to the players behind.

If the ball is caught the catcher becomes the new king.

Often the ball is not caught and players scramble to get it. Once the ball is recovered by someone it is hidden behind the back of one of the players. When they are ready,   The King then turns round and has to guess who has the ball.

This game can be continued as long as necessary.

Once you have finished the game sit down with the children and discuss handovers.

-          What did you have to do in the game to become the new King?

-          Ask the children how people might feel once they have to move on from a situation.

-          Can they think of any examples when they have had to move on

 

 

Introduced  Elijah and who he was. we spoke about how cool he was.. and that he was taken up in to heaven (never died), showed a quick picture to introduce Elisha...

 

 

3.     Drama

Before you begin divide the children into the following groups

-          Elijah ;

-          Prophets of Baal;

-          people;

-          Ahab.

Give the children a brief description of what each group was like

-          Elijah the prophet was a man of God, trusting in God for what was about to happen, keen to get it right.

-          The prophets of Baal believed in rituals, in dancing and shouting - in putting on a good show for the people.

-          The people were easily led, supposedly supporting the prophets of Baal at the beginning but then possibly changing sides if it looks as though they were supporting the wrong side.

-          Ahab was a worshipper of Baal - a hen pecked husband,  a man who did not like to be contradicted. He hated Elijah.

Read the story from the bible - from 1 Kings 18:16-40. Let the children have fun and act out the story as you read it - this means that it will tend to be fresh and spontaneous.

 

At the end ask the different groups how they felt. Provide a "hot seat" (chair), and ask one of the children who played Elijah to explain how they felt as the story progressed.

-          Were they confident all the way through?

-          Were they frightened by the noise and shouting of the prophets of Baal?

-          Did they feel intimidated because there was one of them and 450 of the prophets?

Help the children see that Elijah acted in faith - he believed God and did what he believed God was

telling him to do. He was obedient and trusted God in spite of other people, in spite of the fact he was the only one, in spite of the fact that everyone else seemed to be against him.

Do we trust God in the same way that Elijah did.

Are they willing to do what they think is right regardless?

 Are they willing to trust God for the outcome - sometimes we want to know what will happen before we begin work.

The example of Elijah reminds us to trust and obey.
