Teaching young people about Gods Word is a great honour and privilege.
We note God chose Abraham, a man of faith because he would teach his
children and his household after him, to know the Way of The Lord (Gen
18:19)
One who undertakes such a task will understand they have accepted a
responsibility to become a witness of Gods great love and faithfulness.
As an example of Christian faith and integrity they have a wonderful
opportunity to share their love for Gods Word. The tremendous blessing
for those who commit themselves to this task is that the Holy Spirit will
strengthen and equip you to shine as a light to your class.
Recent trends away from Sunday School structures towards child minding
activities have, we believe, been unfortunate as they fail to recognise the
impact and effect the message of Gods love through Christ has on young
people.
Children are the Churchs future. As such they are precious and well worth
any investment in quality resources and dedicated teachers.
The Sonseekers curriculum offers children Sunday School material that
gives them a sound background in Biblical events, people and places.
Secondly it offers a pastoral approach for the children to know God is able
to help them and change their lives.
Structurally, any program will operate effectively if those teaching are
faithful, zealous and committed to a team approach that might include:
regular prayer and discussion in relation to curriculum issues,
student needs and upcoming events and presentations;
organisation and management of resources;
training and development needs of teaching staff.
Teaching Sunday School is a rich and rewarding task. May God bless and
guide you as you serve in this way.
Yours in Christ

How do I best use my Teacher Resource?
The art of serving as an effective Sunday School teacher is linked to the degree of diligence in preparing for
each lesson. The Sonseekers materials are only designed to assist the teacher in this process. They do not
take away from the teacher his or her responsibility to prayerfully consider the needs of the children in the
class and to seek Gods revelation and wisdom in presenting each Bible lesson. The following suggestions
are then made with regard to using this resource.
that you have all the relevant materials in the quantities you will need;
that you know the length of time that the children will need for the activity.

Extra Ideas
Lesson Introduction
1. Photocopy the required figures from the
Teaching Aid Sheet to tell the story. Back
them with sandpaper and use with a feltboard and or back with cardboard and add
a paddlepop stick and use as stick puppets.
2. At the appropriate time in the story, talk
about oil What does it look like, feel
like, taste like? Why was it important?
What was it used for? Have some samples
to show the children of oil or oil-based
substances, eg. cooking oil, perfumed oil,
salad oil, small oil lamp, soap, etc.
Story Summary
1. A woman, whose husband had loved God,
came to Elisha. She had no money and all
she had in her house was a jar of oil.
2. Elisha told her to collect lots of jars
from neighbours and to pour the oil into
them. When all the jars were full, the oil
stopped.
3. Elisha told her to sell the oil, pay her bills
and use the rest to live on.
4. Another woman, a Shunammite, knew
Elisha was a godly man and prepared
a room for Elisha to stay whenever he
wished.
5. Elisha was blessed and asked how he
could help her.
6. The woman and her husband had no
children, so Elisha prayed, and after a year
a son was born.
7. One day the boy became sick and died and
was laid on Elishas bed.
8. Elisha eventually arrived. He stretched
himself over the boy twice and the boy
rose from the dead, sneezing seven times.

Lesson 65
Steps
Before Class
On each sheet of white paper using the candle or crayon, draw outlines of the jars and vessels the widow may have
filled, or trace over the ones on the Extra Ideas Activity Sheet. Make sure you press firmly.
If each page has a different number of jars the painting will be more exciting.
Consider where paintings will be put to dry.
In Class
Each child paints over the whole of their page using thin paint and thick brush.
The paint will not adhere to the candle wax, so that the oil jars will show out against the now coloured background.
Encourage the children to brush over each area just once. If they paint backwards and forwards over the same spot,
the wax may be worn away and the drawing of the jars less obvious.
Discuss with the children how God met the womans need by filling lots of jars and He can also meet our needs.

Lesson Introduction
Tell the story using the various characters
from the Lesson 1 Teaching Aid Sheet. For
the Israelite maid just use another copy of the
woman and colour her differently to Naamans
wife.
Story Summary
1. Naaman was a captain in the Syrian army.
2. He was a very brave man but he was a
leper.
3. Naamans wife had a young Israelite
maid who said she believed the prophet in
Samaria could heal Naaman.
4. A letter was sent from the king of Samaria
to the king of Israel asking for help. The
king of Israel was angry because he knew
he could not heal Naaman. Elisha heard
about this and asked the king to send
Naaman to him.
5. When Naaman arrived at Elishas house,
Elisha just sent him a message to go and
wash seven times in the River Jordan.
6. Naaman wasnt happy with what Elisha
said and went off in a rage, but his servant
persuaded him to be obedient, which he
was, and he was healed.
7. He went back to his country knowing that
God was real.

Lesson 66
Steps
At Home
Cut out the Naaman figures and glue, 1 leprous and 1 healed, back to back at one end of the paddlepop stick.
Using the Stanley knife, cut along the dotted line in the water scene sheets.
In Class
Children colour both Naamans and the water scene.
Now they can dip leprous Naaman into the slit in the picture seven times.
On the seventh dip, the children turn the paddlepop stick around so that when Naaman comes up he is healed.
Tell the children that God healed Naaman when he did what he was told.

Lesson Introduction
Tell the story using the figures needed from
the Lesson 1 Teaching Aid Sheet, as stick
puppets, with a felt-board or using Blu-tack.
(For this age group there is no need to mention
the mothers boiling and eating the child,
just suggest that the mothers had a quarrel.
The children will repeat the story at a more
advanced age in the Sonseeker curriculum.)
Story Summary
1. As a result of their disobedience, Israel
was surrounded by the Syrian enemy
camp and was suffering from severe
famine.
2. Because of this situation, the king became
very angry with Elisha because of this
situation and wanted to kill him.
3. God warned Elisha and gave him a word
for the king saying that the next day food
would be plentiful.
4. God caused the Syrians to hear the noise
of chariots and horses so that they left in a
hurry, not taking anything.
5. When the Israelites found out the Syrians
had left their camp, they went out and
took everything including food so the
people were no longer starving.

Teaching Suggestion
Memory Verse
I am with you always. (Matthew 28:20).
Lesson Introduction
1. A picture book or felt-board figures from the
Lesson 1 Teaching Aid Sheet could be used to
tell the story.
2. Intersperse this with action activities. This
story is full of them, eg. be Jonah counting out
his fare for the ship journey; pretend to walk
up a gang plank; be the wind, the storm; row
like sailors; be frightened like the sailors; jump
overboard; swim like the big fish, like Jonah;
pretend to have three sleeps like Jonah in the
fish; vomit like the big fish; be angry and sulk
like Jonah, etc.
3. Use props and discussion to enhance the telling
of the story eg. water spray bottles as sea spray,
fish sauce/cod liver oil/fish emulsion on cotton
wool to highlight the dark and smelly insides
of a fish.
Story Summary
1. God told Jonah to take a message to the people
of Nineveh.
2. Jonah was afraid and tried to escape from God
and caught a ship to Tarshish.
3. On the voyage God sent a great wind and
rough seas. The sailors became afraid and
thought the ship would sink, but Jonah
admitted to running away from God and told
them to throw him overboard.
4. When they did this the sea calmed, God caused
a big fish to swallow Jonah and Jonah was in
the belly of the big fish for three days during
this time Jonah repented and cried out to God.
5. God caused the fish to vomit Jonah onto dry
land.
6. Again, God told Jonah to go to Nineveh, which
he did and told the people what God had said.
7. So the people believed God and God relented
from the disaster He had threatened.
8. But Jonah sulked, so God explained to Jonah
about His love and mercy to the people of
Nineveh.

Teacher says the memory verse then takes one child by the hand;
together they say the verse. The child chooses another child and
so on until all the children and the teacher are holding hands; all
say the verse together.
Extra Ideas
1. Fish Prints. Have a large fish drawn onto A4 paper (2 or
3 copies per child). Use a collection of small round-ended
objects, eg. corks, small lids, film containers, etc. and a
purchased stamp pad or sponge on a shallow container with
a small amount of thick paint. Use the small objects to
stamp overlapping scales on the fish. Two fish prints could
be joined together.
2. Hand Puppet. Draw around the outline of each childs
open hand onto cardboard. Round off the wrist end, and
draw an eye and a mouth as shown in diagram at the bottom
of the next page. Children colour-in the fish with spots,
stripes or scales. Teacher cuts out the outline. Child draws
a picture of Jonah on the reverse side. Attach a paddlepop
stick to the fish with sticky tape, so the fish can twist and
wriggle to swim and reveal Jonah in its belly.
3. Balloon Game. Before class place a small picture of Jonah
in one balloon, and pictures of quite different things, eg. a
cow, book, car (but not a man) in the other balloons. Draw
eyes, mouths and fins on the balloons to represent large
fish. The children pop the balloon fish to find which one
swallowed Jonah.
4. Magnetic Fishing Game. Cut out some fish (approx 4 or 5
cm long) from coloured cardboard, and draw eyes, mouth,
fins. Slide a paper clip onto each fish at the mouth, and
place the fish into a plastic bowl. For a fishing rod, use a
stick or piece of dowel rod, and tie a horseshoe magnet onto
the end of a piece of string. The children try their hand at
fishing! The magnet should pick up the fish by the paper
clip.
5. Recall Game. Use 5-10 diverse objects and pictures to
represent the different parts of the story, eg. picture of
Jonah, a plastic fish or picture of a fish, a small boat or ship,
something to represent sackcloth, a plant, etc. Children can
retell the story using the objects.
Lesson 68
Steps
At Home
Cut out Jonah, folding along the dotted line so he is double sided.
Punch holes at the top edge of the paper bag, at least 3 cm from the edge.
Reinforce the holes with ring reinforcements or masking tape.
Cut two pieces of string approx 80 cm long. Tie each end into a hole on the bag to form two loops.
Cut another piece of string approx 80 cm long and tie one end to the centres of the previous loops this will form
the handle or holding string of the kite, note the diagram:
In Class
The children colour in Jonah.
Help the children sticky tape Jonah to the inside of the paper bag (he is in the belly of the big fish).
Children decorate the outside of the bag with colouring pencils, streamers (for tails), eyes and perhaps fins or whole
fish drawn with marking pens.
If possible, take the sea creature kites outside open the bag, hold onto the string and run into the wind so that the
wind catches in the bag and makes the kite fly. It will look as though the sea creature is swimming up and down
with Jonah in its belly. (Keep the sticky tape handy for repairs.)
Remind children that although Jonah was in the belly of the big fish and no one could see him, God was with him
and He is always with us too.

Teaching Suggestion
Have the children sit in a line or circle with the teacher. Teacher
turns to the child next to her, cups hands behind ears and softly says
the verse. That child then turns to the child next to him/her and
repeats the process until all the children have had a turn saying the
verse. Say the verse aloud together to reinforce that the children
have all heard the same message.
Memory Verse
Obey the Lord. (Deuteronomy 27:10).
Lesson Introduction
1. Introduce the story by demonstrating and
then asking the children to pat their head
with one hand. Then demonstrate and ask
them to rub in a circle on their tummies
with the other hand. Then ask them to do
both actions consistently together. (Preschoolers have great difficulty doing this.)
Then explain that the people of Israel tried
to do two things that could not be done
at the same time, (ie. to fear and obey the
Lord, while worshipping other gods and
traditions at the same time).
2. Use some of the figures from the Lesson
1 Teaching Aid Sheet and use other visual
aids to tell the story, perhaps including a
large map of the area, pictures of people in
different coloured clothing to represent the
different nationalities, and a few pictures
of idols, statues, money, etc.
Story Summary
1. The children of Israel sinned against God
by worshipping other gods and in spite
of Gods continual warnings through His
prophets, they hardened their hearts.
2. God then allowed all the children of Israel
to be taken away into other lands as slaves
and people from other lands came and
took over their lands.
3. Still the children of Israel would not listen
and kept being disobedient.
Page 20
Extra Ideas
1. Ears to Hear. You will need 1 Extra Ideas Activity Sheet per
child, scissors, colouring pencils. Before class, cut out a set
of ears for each child. In class, the children colour the ears.
Teacher cuts along the dotted line to make a slit. Fit the ears
over the childrens ears.
2. Playdough Faces. Playdough could be flattened on small
paper plates to make faces. Use materials pressed into the
playdough to make the features (showing ears that hear
Gods word, eyes that see His ways, etc. rather than the closed
ears and eyes in the story.) You could use large uncooked
pasta shells for ears, and buttons, straws, small sticks, stones,
seed pods, other pasta, etc. for the mouth, nose, teeth, etc.
Uncooked noodles or extra playdough squeezed through a
garlic press would make good hair.
3. Listening Game. Have some instruments and other soundmaking objects that you can use behind a small screen for
the children to guess what they are. At home, record some
common sounds from around the home that the children would
recognise easily, eg. clock ticking, telephone ringing, vacuum
cleaner, dog barking, etc. Play the tape for the children to
guess the sounds.
4. Musical Bobs. Use a tape and dance or walk to the music.
When the music stops, bob down. For variety, have a couple
of percussion instruments ready. The instruments will have
different instructions, eg. the shaker means stand still and the
drum means lie down. Explain that when the music stops the
children must listen for which instrument you will play so they
will know what to do.
5. Listen and Do. Explain that you will tell the story again
(a simple version will do). The children are to listen very
carefully. Whenever you say God the children are to stand
up and raise their arms, when you say sin or disobeyed (or
similar) they are to roll up in a ball, hiding their heads.
6. Discussion Ideas. Have a short, simple discussion with the
children about why parents wont allow certain things to
become number one in their lives, eg. TV. Parents are giving
words of warning, so listen and live. A related picture or TV
guide, etc. could provide a visual focus to begin the discussion.
7. Morning Tea. Have a variety of heart-shaped food, again
relating it to not having a heart that is hard towards God. Food
suggestions fairy bread cut in heart shapes, heart shaped jelly
(made in heart shape mould) and heart shaped biscuits.
Lesson 69
Steps
At Home
Make the playdough.
In Class
Allow some time for free play with the clay and playdough. Do not mix them. Talk about how they are different in
terms of being hard and soft.
After free play, each child cuts a heart from rolled out playdough and clay to take home. Reinforce that God wants
to be able to shape our lives.
Cooked Playdough
1 cup flour.
cup salt.
2 teaspoons cream of tartar.
1 cup water.
2 tablespoons oil.
Mix flour, salt and cream of tartar. Add oil and water and mix well. Cook slowly until mixture thickens, stirring
constantly. Store in an airtight container (will keep for about 3 months).

Story Summary
1. King Hezekiah was a good king who did
right in the sight of God.
2. Sennacherib, king of Assyria, was at war
with King Hezekiah and overpowered him
and tried to torment him saying his God
was not able to win because He was not
strong enough.
3. Hezekiah sought the Lord with tears
and fasting and because of his soft
heart toward God, God promised that
Sennacherib and his people would be
punished because of their arrogance.
4. Later, Hezekiah became very ill and God
told him through the prophet Isaiah that he
would die.
5. Again Hezekiah turned to the Lord with
tears and humility.
6. Again God heard him and healed him
and he lived another 15 years to serve the
Lord.

Lesson Introduction
The content of this lesson focuses on Isaiahs
life of obedience and walking in Gods way,
calling Israel to do the same. Although
there is no obvious storyline, the activities
can reinforce being obedient from the heart
and walking in Gods ways linking back to
previous lessons.
Story Summary
1. Isaiah was a prophet chosen by God,
who throughout his life preached Gods
righteousness and who warned the people
of the judgement of sin.
2. Isaiah also comforted the people with the
knowledge of Gods love, forgiveness,
and the rewards in store for those who
remained faithful to Him.
3. Isaiah was chosen to show Gods
people that they could not escape the
consequences of faithlessness and
disloyalty to God.
4. Assyria was one of the nations that God
allowed to chasten His people and to
prompt them to return to their God. Isaiah
saw a vision of God and His throne room
including angels.
5. Again, Isaiah is exhorted to preach
warnings about the peoples disobedience.

Lesson Introduction
1. Talk with the children about pottery,
having some examples in class, eg. a
terracotta pot, a pottery mug, jug, etc.
Why is each one made in a particular
shape? How was it made? What is it
made of? Let the children feel some soft
clay. Talk about why the potter has to use
soft clay.
2. Tell the story. A helper could act out the
part of the potter while the teacher takes
the role of Jeremiah, or a simple puppet
could be used as Jeremiah telling the story
about the potter. Use pictures of a potter,
and actual pottery to illustrate.
3. Review summary sheet.
Story Summary
1. The Lord told Jeremiah to go to the
potters house.
2. While there, God told Jeremiah that His
people were like clay in His hand - if they
did not walk in His way they were like a
ruined vessel, but if they turned to God,
He would make them into a new vessel.
3. The people were stiff-necked and chose
their own way, so Jeremiah demonstrated
this by breaking an earthen jug.

It is often beneficial
to have another
adult in the room
when doing messy
activities. He or she
can assist individual
children or help tidy
up after the lesson.
Lesson 73
Steps
Allow free creative play with the chosen medium. While the children play, talk about what they are doing. Does
the material mould easily? Are they planning to make anything in particular? Can they change the modelling
material into any shape? Can they re-work it completely? Relate what they are doing to the story.
If the material is one which will harden, you may like, after free play, to direct the children towards making a
simple, functional item appropriate to their level, eg. a plate or bowl, and discuss with them why the shaping must
be done while the material is soft (as related to the story).
Recipes:
Cooked Playdough (this is very pliable and keeps well)
4 cups flour; 1 cup salt; 2 tblsp cream of tartar; 1 tblsp oil; 4 cups water; food colouring (optional).
Mix flour, salt and cream of tartar. Add oil and water and mix well. Cook slowly until mixture thickens, stirring
constantly. Store in an airtight container (will keep for about 3 months).
Soda Play Clay
2 cups bi-carbonate soda; 1 cup cornflour; 1 cups cold water.
Mix bi-carb with cornflour, add water and mix till smooth. Boil for 1 minute to consistency of mashed potato,
stirring constantly. Spoon out onto plate. Cover with a damp cloth and allow to cool. Knead and roll out on waxed
paper.
Salt Ceramic
1 cup table salt; cup cornflour; cup cold water.
Mix the ingredients together in a saucepan. Stirring constantly, cook until thick (bread dough consistency). Place
on waxed paper or foil to cool. When cool enough to handle, knead for several minutes. Store in a plastic bag or
airtight container. (Hardens to a stone-like consistency over several days.)
Salt Dough (Non-edible)
4 cups plain flour; 1 cup salt; 1 cups water.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt, then add the water. When the mixture is too thick to stir with a
spoon, begin kneading it with your hands - the longer the dough is kneaded the smoother it becomes (average time
10 minutes). If it is not kneaded it will develop cracks during baking and will rise and puff up if it is too moist.
Finished sculpture should be a flattish shape, up to 2 cm thick. Bake at 160o C till totally dry (could be up to 2
hours).

Extra Ideas
Lesson Introduction
1. To introduce the idea of Gods protection
if we continue to walk with Him
throughout all circumstances in life.
Show the children an umbrella and talk
about what we use an umbrella for, and
what happens when we walk out in the
rain without an umbrella or raincoat.
2. Explain that the people of Judah and
Jerusalem decided they did not need Gods
protection any more. This was shown by
how they chose to live seeking other gods.
3. The story wheel (see Extra Ideas
below) could be used to tell the story, or
photocopied, re-coloured pictures from a
picture Bible.
Story Summary
1. The people of Israel were taken into
captivity by the king of Babylon and the
temple was plundered.
2. Certain youths were set apart for three
years training to serve in the kings palace.
3. Their diet was to be the daily portion of
the kings rich food.
4. One of the youths was Daniel and he
requested that he and his three friends
might eat only vegetables and drink only
water for 10 days.
5. God blessed them and they stood out as
the best in the land.
Page 38
1. Make your own Fruit and Vegies. You will need some fresh
fruit and vegetables or pictures of some for inspiration, two
or three sheets of A4 paper cut in half per child, paints - red,
green, yellow, orange and purple. Children paint each piece of
paper with one colour only, per sheet. When dry, children then
draw their own original fruit or vegetable on their painting with
a thick black felt pen. Teacher cuts out the shapes. You can
extend this activity by having large plastic trays or paper plates
for the children to paste their fruit and vegetable creations on.
2. Four Friends Standing. Fan-fold rectangles of paper and
draw the outline of half a person so that when it is cut out and
unfolded you have a chain of four people to represent Daniel
and his friends. Children can .draw faces and colour them in.
3. Gods Protection. Prior to class, draw Jerusalem (a walled
city and stick people are OK) on a large long piece of paper
using water based pens or bright water colour (not acrylic)
paint. In class, attach the mural to an outside wall. Cover
the picture with a piece of clear plastic (eg. available from
newsagents for covering books - not contact). Give each child
a spray bottle filled with water and let them try to destroy the
city (which, of course, is protected by the plastic, representing
Gods protection). Then remove the plastic and let them squirt
and wash away the drawings as God allowed Jerusalem to be
destroyed. (This activity is especially good for active boys!)
4. Story Wheel. This activity enables the children to retell
the story themselves. You will need to provide four pictures
relating to the story, two pieces of paper cut into circle
shape, one divided into four sections, the other with a quarter
missing and a split pin for each child. Examples of pictures
Jerusalem destroyed and the people taken captive, young men
set apart, rich kings food, food Daniel and his friends chose
to eat, Daniel and his friends happy and healthy. In class,
children assemble the story wheel ensuring the adult fastens
the split pin.
5. Threading. Hole punch small pictures of Daniel and his
friends as well as the food they chose to eat. The children
thread pictures onto wool with a bodkin or coloured matchstick
sticky taped to wool. To space out the pictures use cut out
straws etc.
6. Morning Tea. Have a selection of fresh fruit, raw vegetables
(cut into bite-sized pieces and presented appealingly) and
water. Alternatively make fruit and vegetable kebabs with the
children.
Lesson 74
Toothpicks.
Pipe cleaners.
Paper plate on which to take home their men.
Variety of vegetables, fruit and dried fruit eg. potatoes, carrots, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, lettuce, celery, sultanas,
sprouts small mushrooms, etc. (When choosing fruit and vegetables, choose some large ones to form bodies or
head, smaller items for facial features, leaves and herbs or sprouts for hair.)
Steps
At Home
Slice and chop some of the vegetables into different sized and shaped pieces. Store in separate containers.
In Class
Using the toothpicks and pipe cleaners, stick a selection of the fruit and vegetables together to form men (or just
their heads), and vegies. While creating, talk about what Daniel and his friends chose to eat instead of the kings
rich food, emphasising the stand they made for the Lord.

Lesson Introduction
1. Talk briefly to the children about dreams.
Do they sometimes have dreams? Can
they remember what the dream was
about? Do they ever realise they have had
a dream but cannot remember what it was
about? Mention that God sometimes uses
dreams, and talk about how some dreams
are hard to make sense of. Then begin the
story.
2. To help the children to visualise the statue,
use either the wall jigsaw or cardboard
box statue (see Extra Ideas below) at the
appropriate place in the story. Use either
simple puppets or pictures for Daniel,
Nebuchadnezzar and the wise men.
Story Summary
1. King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream that
troubled him and he called for the dream
to be told and interpreted.
2. His magicians and wise men could not
tell what the dream was or interpret it, so
he ordered the wise men of Babylon to be
killed - Daniel being one of these.
3. Daniel requested of the king for more time
to interpret the dream.
4. Daniel, with his friends, sought God for
the dream and its meaning.
5. Daniel revealed the secret of the dream
and its meaning to the king, giving God
the glory.
6. The dream entailed a great image which
depicted current and future events.
7. Nebuchadnezzar worshipped God and
promoted Daniel, who asked for the king
to promote his friends.
Page 40
1. Role Play. Use basic props for the children to retell the
story eg. pillow, rug and crown for king; hats for magicians
and wise men, towel headgear for Daniel and other suitable
garments. Include a picture of a statue in a dream frame/
cloud. Emphasise that Daniel prayed to God for the dream
and its meaning.
2. Jigsaw Game. Copy Extra Ideas Activity Sheet for each child.
In class, children colour in both pictures. Children cut into 5
segments along lines. Pictures can now be used as a puzzle
or as a game. If using as a game, make a spinner using extra
copies of the king and Daniel pictures. Cut each picture into 5
segments and glue corresponding pictures onto a circle of card
marked into 5 equal sections. Use a split pin to attach spinner
to centre of card ensuring it spins freely. In class, children take
turns to spin the spinner and select the body part indicated,
continuing the game until their picture is completed.
3. Wind Twirler. Each child needs two copies of both pictures
from the Extra Ideas Activity Sheet. Children colour both
pictures then glue them back to back. Hole punch at the top of
the picture and thread a piece of string/wool through the hole.
The picture can now be hung to twirl in the breeze.
4. Songs. God is good to me or other similar songs known to
you about standing with and for the Lord.
Pre school aged children enjoy
choosing songs for the whole class
to sing. At the beginning of a lesson,
ask each child to share a song that
they would like to sing and sing it
together as a class.

Lesson Introduction
1. Briefly discuss what things the children
think are important in their lives and then
lead into the story as being about men
who put God as the most important thing
in their lives.
2. As part of the story discuss what a furnace
is. What sorts of things are hot? How hot
is fire? Light a candle and burn a hair, or a
small picture of one of the characters (held
by tongs) in the flame (ensure appropriate
safety precautions are implemented).
3. Many of the activities listed below could
be made as a demonstration model which
could then be used to tell the story.
Story Summary
1. Nebuchadnezzar set up an enormous gold
statue and sent for the governors, rulers
etc. to attend a dedication ceremony.
2. The king ordered that every time they
heard the musical instruments play, they
should bow down and worship the image
and whoever did not, would be thrown
into the fiery furnace.
3. Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego
loved and worshipped God and so did not
worship the image and were reported.
4. The king gave them another chance but
they refused.
5. He was furious and ordered the furnace to
be heated seven times hotter than normal
and the faithful men were bound and
thrown into the fire.
6. Nebuchadnezzar saw four men in the fire
and knew that the fourth man with them
looked like the Son of God.
7. Nebuchadnezzar blessed God, changed the
decree and gave Shadrach, Meshach and
Abed-Nego a promotion.
Page 44
Lesson 76
Steps
At Home
Construct the fiery furnace, which will resemble workmens shoe/sock protectors. For each child, sew together
the short ends of the piece of material to form a tube. Then form a casing at one end, thread with elastic and pull up
the elastic so it will sit firmly on a childs wrist. (There is no need to hem or neaten seams.)
In Class
Using felt pens and stickers draw simple faces on four fingers of the childs non-dominant hand. (They may draw
on their own hand or with a partner.) Draw in any other clothing details, as desired, to depict Shadrach, Meshach,
Abed-Nego and one like the Son of God. The teacher may draw Nebuchadnezzar on one of the fingers on each
childs dominant hand. Put the fiery furnace tube over the childs hand with the four fingers as shown below. To
illustrate throwing them into the furnace. Simply pull the ungathered end of the fabric tube up over the hand. The
children can look down into the furnace and see four figures, if they hold their thumb on their palm.
Alternative for those who dont sew - Instead of the fabric sleeve, use red crepe/tissue paper, cellophane or medium
sized brown paper bags with red flames drawn on the sides, and a hole large enough to fit the childs hand, cut in
the bottom. Gather the bottom end of the bag around the childs wrist and hold together with a firm rubber band.

3. The king was afraid, calling for his wise
men to read and interpret the writing but
they could not.
4. He offered rewards but to no avail.
5. Belshazzar was told of Daniel who was
able to interpret dreams because the Spirit
of the Holy God was in him.
6. The king sent for Daniel who interpreted
the words but he didnt want the rewards.

Lesson Introduction
1. Talk briefly and generally about all sorts
of things that can be scary for us. Then
talk about scary large animals, perhaps
acting out some roaring, growling,
stalking, etc. Then begin the story of
Gods protection of Daniel.
2. If possible use a book with lots of pictures
of this story with some of the following
action activities, etc:
roar like lion;
prowl like lions;
toss and turn in restless sleep like
Darius;
pretend to be a lion whose mouth has
been closed by God; pretend trying to
open your mouth.
Story Summary
1. King Darius raised up leaders over the
people and wished to set Daniel, because
he had an excellent spirit, over the whole
kingdom.
2. The other leaders were jealous and tried to
find something against Daniel but he was
faithful in everything.
3. They persuaded the king to pass a law that
no one was to pray to another god or man
for thirty days.
4. Daniel continued to pray to God and was
reported to the king who tried to save him
but failed.
5. Daniel was thrown into the lions den.
6. King Darius spent a sleepless night and
hurried to the den in the morning to see
how Daniel was.
7. Daniel told how God had sent His angel
to shut the lions mouth because he was
blameless.

Daniel 6
1. Role Play. Set up a section of the room as a lions den. One child
is Daniel, one is the angel, and the rest are lions who prowl and
roar around the den (wearing lion masks from the main activity).
The angel taps the lions twice on the shoulder and they have to
stop growling. Daniel then walks through unharmed.
2. Lion Sock Puppets. You will need an old grey/yellow/brown
sock per child, scraps of lion-coloured wool or material, felt
pens, stickers, thin white cardboard, strong craft glue. (The socks
are used with your thumb in the heel and fingers in the toe, so
that the sole of the foot becomes the lions mouth.) Before class,
glue on some material or wool to form the mane (unravelled
wool from an old jumper works well). For each child cut 2
pieces of cardboard (approx. 6 cm x 1 cm), making the shorter
ends pointed in the middle - these will be the lions large fangs.
In class, children use felt pens and/or stickers to form the eyes,
nose, whiskers, etc. To add the fangs, bend the points of the
strips of cardboard at right angles and then glue the flat section of
cardboard into the lions mouth (one set at top and one set at the
bottom). Children can make their lion roar and the mouth can
be wrinkled together to indicate God stopping its mouth.
3. Spaghetti Lions. You need 2 paper dinner plates glued together
per child, crayons, bowls, spaghetti, yellow food colouring and
a colander. In the morning, cook the spaghetti (with the food
colouring) until just tender. Drain until spaghetti is just covered
and take to class like this. Children draw facial features of a lion
on the paper plates. Drain the spaghetti. Children arrange wet
spaghetti, a few strands at a time around the edge of their plate to
represent the lions mane. The starch makes the spaghetti stick.
4. Daniel and Hairy Lions. Photocopy or mount lions and Daniel
praying from the Extra Ideas Activity Sheet onto cardboard and
cut them out. In class, children apply thick paint to the lions then
scratch it over with toothbrushes/toothpicks to look like rough
fur. Glue Daniel with lions around him onto another sheet of
paper.
5. Feeding Time. Use the lions faces from the Activity Sheet
and attach it to a wall at metre height from the floor. Attach a
shopping bag by one handle to just below the lions face (this is
the lions mouth). Scrunch up some paper into balls (of meat) and
see how many pieces of meat each child can feed to the lion.
Lesson 78
Steps
At Home
Cut out the lion mouth and face circles from the Activity Sheets.
Fold one paper plate in half, glue the back of the bottom half of the folded plate to the bottom half of the other plate
(see diagram below).
With the second plate folded in half, glue the lions face to the plates (top half to the top of plate 1 and bottom half
over the folded section of plate 2.
Unfold plate 2 and glue the lions mouth circle over it.
Cut out the section marked cut out on the lions face.
In Class
Children colour the plates and use whatever is available to make the lions mane, around the edge of the rear plate.
Add any other collage materials you think appropriate to decorate the puppet.
The puppet is operated by putting the index, middle and ring fingers through the semi-circular cut-out section in
the first plate and out onto the nose, with the thumb right behind both plates. The fingers open and close the lions
mouth by pushing down on its snout.

Lesson Introduction
Begin with a brief reflection about obedience
and then move into the story as one about a
woman whose obedience was very important.
To tell the story, use a felt board and figures
backed with sandpaper. You will need 1
female figure for Esther, and 3 male figures to
represent Mordecai, the king, and Haman. Use
as many visual aids as possible - crowns; make
up and small jars that Esther would have used
to prepare herself; tea set or picnic set for the
banquet; sackcloth type material that Mordecai
wore; robes; crowns; golden scepter; ashes;
horse; scroll etc.
Story Summary
1. Esther was a beautiful young Jewish
woman raised by a relative, Mordecai,
when her parents had died.
2. Mordecai brought Esther to the palace of
King Ahasuerus, where she was chosen by
the king to be his new queen.
3. Mordecai told Esther that Haman, one of
the kings top men, had devised a plan to
kill every Jew in the kingdom.
4. Mordecai also told Esther that she must
speak to the king on behalf of her people,
even though he knew the danger.
5. The king did not know that Esther was a
Jew. Esther called for all the Jews to fast
for three days and then she approached the
king.
6. Ester told the King of the devious plan,
Haman was hung, the plot to kill the Jews
was overthrown, and Esther and Mordecai
were rewarded by the king.

Lesson Introduction
Explain to the children the special love the
Jews had for Jerusalem and the temple, then
begin the story. This could be told using
cut out pictures and blue tack, and a simple
drawing of the temple on the black board (or
on a large sheet of paper) at the appropriate
part of the story. The children could help
draw some of the bricks of the temple.
Alternatively, use a felt board and felt figures
or pictures backed with sandpaper, and small
brick shaped pieces of felt to make up the
temple.
Story Summary
1. After 70 years of captivity, the children of
Israel returned to Jerusalem to rebuild the
temple.
2. At the laying of the foundation stone, the
people praised and worshipped God.
3. The other people of the land tried to stop
them from building, but the king forced
the opponents to stop hindering the work.
4. The Jews were discouraged, so God sent
His prophets, Haggai and Zechariah to
encourage them, and so the temple was
completed.
5. The temple dedication was celebrated with
joy.

1. Temple/Body Floor Puzzle. Enlarge (by several times) the
picture of the temple or body from the Extra Ideas Activity
Sheets and glue to cardboard. When dry, colour and cut into
approx. 10 pieces. If using the body picture, relate this to how
we are the temple of God.
2. Construction. This can be done either individually or as a
whole group. Use appropriate various sized boxes, cardboard,
tubes, milk cartons, masking/sticky tape or strong glue, and
a heavy piece of cardboard for the base. In class, talk about
finding the right sized/shaped boxes to be the foundations and
about how the pieces fit together. If desired, the constructions
can be painted using thick, opaque paint and large brushes.
3. Tools of the Trade. Draw or cut out pictures of various tools
used to build, or worship, or serve in the temple (eg. hammer,
saw, stone masons chisel, ruler, some musical instruments,
etc). Place the pictures in a mystery bag. Children take turns
to draw out a picture, and as a group try to identify what the
tool is, how it is used, and by whom, and pretend to use it.
Talk about how all the workers worked together and needed
each other to complete the restoration.
4. Block Play. Borrow as many blocks as you can, and mark
some large ones with stickers with the words of the memory
verse, to identify them as foundation stones. Allow free play,
instructing the children to find the foundation stones to use
first in their building.
5. Celebration. Have a time of celebration when you have built a
wall or the temple (using any of the above activities), by using
instruments for the children and choruses that the children
enjoy.
6. Body Outlines. Have children lie down on a large piece of
paper and trace around their outlines. Children then decorate
these and add the memory verse. Discuss how we are the
temple of God.
7. Morning Tea. Make a butter cake in a lamington tin. In class,
make white fluffy icing and ice the cake. Using the side of a
Duplo block dipped in cocoa, children help make brick patterns
on the white icing to resemble a brick wall.
Lesson 80
Steps
At Home
Draw a stone wall on the cardboard or paper, making each stone just a little larger than the childrens pieces of

Those who can, write their names. Children who cannot write their name, may write their letter, or do a drawing
of themselves and teacher can write on their name, if desired.
Children personalise their piece of paper with decorations of their choice.
Use blue tack or glue to attach the stones to the temple. (The children may like to do more stones for friends or
