My 2-5 year old childrens Sunday school loves the story of David and Goliath, especially when I use visual props! This Sunday school lesson below has worked so well for me in helping them understand the important message in this story from the bible.
“David & Goliath” Sunday School Lesson #1
Today we are going to talk about “heroes”. Describe an everyday hero in words that your class will understand.
Bible Story:
Tell the story of David and Goliath in basic language that this age group can understand. If you can’t find an illustrated copy of this in the library for use in your class, use the bible use simple language.
Discuss:
Talk about how brave David was.
Understanding:
Give some understanding of a giant by placing a paper face on the wall at about the height of Goliath (around 9feet – although for children of 2-5 having the face at 7 feet will be just as impressive!) – have the children stand in front of the face and look up so that they understand how David would have felt looking up at Goliath.
Activity
Find some pictures in magazines of different kinds of heroes and cut them out. Put them on the table and have the children glue them in a montage on a piece of construction paper. Make sure you have a picture of Jesus – or something symbolic of Jesus – to add to the picture.
