Kiddies For Christ (aka KFC Original Recipe)
February 6th, 2009 by Sam Rae Posted in Church
This year I’m taking on helping out at Kids Church at the St Matt’s 10am congregation. I’ll be helping to teach the little tots—Kindergaten and Preschool. Last Sunday was the first week for the year. We got to meet the kids (so cute!), eat some chocolate biscuits (so messy!) and play games (so much fun!).
Some of the kids were really nervous because it was their first time, but they warmed up after a while. Biscuits and games helped. Unfortunately I was a bit forgetful when it came to drying kids hands with a fluffy towel: “What? That’s not your hand? Ooooohhhhh… that’s your arm! Aren’t I silly! What? That’s a leg? My goodness… I have got this wrong”. (Don’t worry—I have a Working With Children check).
It will be fun and challenging to teach these littlies the gospel in a way that is appropriate for them and shows the depths of God’s love for us. I confess that I’m not really sure how to do it! Fortunately for me and the kids I’ll get some help along the way. I can use all the help I can get. Anybody got great tips for teaching the Bible to 4–5 year olds?
