Gathering Prayer

From the top of my head (Touch head) to the tips of my toes; (Touch toes) from the lobes of my ears (Touch ear lobes) to the end of my nose; (Touch nose) from my back, to my front (Turn round) to my wiggly fingers, (stretch out arms and wiggle fingers) God loves me! (jump up and down)

Play

Jesus invites you for a meal. Play food with your child, encouraging them to share. If you can, provide play dough to make food, and toy tea set. Or provide a slice of bread, and encourage your child to break it to give a piece to each of its figure toys.

Story telling

Give to your child five toy loaves, two toy fish (you can draw and cut them too) and some play figures. Encourage your child to hold up the different things when they are mentioned in the story. People had come to meet Jesus and hear him speak. They had been with him all day and it was late. They started to get hungry. Now there were a lot of people. Not two or three or even ten. But over 5, 000!

And all that the disciples had for these hungry people was five loaves and two fish. The disciples thought that the people needed to go home. But Jesus had a different plan. He took the five loaves and the two fish, blessed them and shared them with all the people. The disciples took round the food and there was enough for over 5, 000 people.

Or you watch with your child the story told by muppets, with a song at the end, clicking here.
