Free Primary Level Sunday School Lessons – Who is the Lamp?

Mary Kate | | Comments (0)

I have received many requests for free primary level Sunday school lessons recently. Here is a Sunday school lesson for your 5-8 year olds to teach them how God is the Lamp who lights our way. Use the discussion topic while they make the art project; these reinforce each other and the children truly understand the lesson.

Discussion:
Ask the children what lamps do. Ask them what lamps do for us. Ask them if we are lamps.

Bible Story:
Read the following passages:
2 Samuel 22:29
Psalm 119:105
Luke 8: 16

Discussion:
Ask the children again if we are lamps. Ask who else and what else are lamps. Discuss how God, the Bible and people are lamps.

Art:
Have the children make a lamp.

Materials needed:
Toilet paper tubes
Colored Paper
Red, Yellow and Orange Felt
Glue
Tape
Markers

Give the children the materials. Let them use the materials to make a lamp in whatever way that they want.

Activity:
Shine flashlights.

Materials needed:
Flashlights (1 for each child and 1 for the teacher(s)

Turn the lights off and leave only your flashlight on. Then hand flashlights on to the children one at a time. As you hand the flashlights to the children have them turn it on. When everyone has their flashlight on ask them what it was like before all of the flashlights were on. Ask them if the liked it when the room was so dark. Talk about how sometimes the dark can be scary. Ask them what it is like now that everyone is shining their light. Talk about how it is not so scary when a lot of lights are shining. Then explain that shining our flashlights is kind of like doing good things to show that we love God. Tell the children that our good deeds make the world around us brighter, happier and not so scary, especially when there are a lot of us that are doing good things.
