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
Plant seeds together with your child into either your garden or into little pots. Before to do that, you can hide the seeds and ask the child to find them.
Story telling
Use the actions to tell this story. (Take a children’s Bible and place some seeds inside, then use it as you tell the story) Jesus was a great storyteller. He told very special stories to help everyone to know more about God. Today, we listen to the special story of the sower. Jesus said, ‘A farmer went to sow seeds. (open the Bible and let the seeds fall out) Some of the seed fell on the path and was eaten by the birds. (fly hand down and pick up some seeds)
Some of the seed fell on the rocks and was burned by the sun. (make sun rays with your hand pick up some seeds) Some of the seed fell onto weeds. These seeds grew but were choked by the weeds. (grasp hands together and pick up some seeds) But some fell on good soil. These seeds grew into strong and healthy plants. ’ (encourage the children to reach up high)
Create
1 a. Print this free colouring page that you can find and download here. 1 b. For those who like colouring, the full story in 4 pictures can be found and downloaded here. 2. Alternatively, you can paint a flower, using the child’s hands to make the petals, and the child’s feet to make the leaves.
Pray (Encourage the children to crouch down and grow like a plant; then you pray: ) Thank you, Jesus, for the special stories you told; stories to help us know more about God. Amen.
Sing together ‘My day’
Sending out God bless you, (Point to each other) and God bless me. (Point to oneself) Amen. (Wave arms)
