God Cares About My Home

One of the add ons available through Mother Goose Time is their Experience God program. This is our first month trying it.  The lesson plan book is broken up into 4 lessons with 5 activities in each.
Teacher Pack
Child Pack
Week 1
We started by reading the back of the story cards and completing the accompanying actions.  The girls made heaven bracelets, representing the gold roads and pearly gates.
We also talked about the Book of Life and Addie made her own, writing down the names of people who love Jesus.
The girls also built block roads, all leading to God.
Then they colored the provided picture and we cut out the story telling cards to retell what happened.
Week 2 we talked about God's house.
We talked about how God's house is big enough for everyone and that Jesus died on a cross to create a way to heaven.  The girls made a drawing of heaven and Earth separated by a cross. Then they used a magnet to move a paperclip representing themselves, from Earth to heaven. 
In heaven all things are clean and pure.  We talked about words that can be hurtful and words that are pure.  The girls found the hurtful words that were around the house and crumpled them up and threw them away.
The girls also made a cute house craft.  God's house is filled with love, so the girls decorated the inside of a house with things they love.
