Here are some Sunday school games to use with your 2-5 year olds to teach the lesson of John the Baptist. Use the discussion topic to encourage them to think about God and the influence He has in their lives.
Bible Story:
Tell the story of John the Baptist (Matthew 3: 1-17). You can use a children’s bible or just tell it in such a way that this age group can understand.
Discussion:
Ask the children if they ever tell their friends about God. Talk about why it is important for us to let others know about God and how He wants us to live.
Activity:
Play John Says (like Simon Says). If John doesn’t say, then they don’t do it. Here are ideas for the game:
-Touch your nose
-Jump three times
-Turn around
-Shake your head
-Hug a friend
Song:
Sing Be Careful Little Eyes
Oh, be careful little eyes, what you see.
Oh, be careful little eyes, what you see.
There’s a Father up above, looking down in tender love,
so be careful little eyes, what you see.
2nd time through: Be careful little ears what you hear
3rd time through: Be careful little mouth what you say…
4th time through: Be careful little hands, what you touch…
5th time through: Be careful little feet, where you go…
