Sunday School Projects – Jesus Feeds Five Thousand

Mary Kate | | Comments (0)

Use these Sunday school projects to teach the lessons of Jesus feeding the multitudes. Your 6-8 year olds will learn the gift of sharing and enjoy their time with friends and family.

Bible Story:
Tell the children the story of Jesus using only two fish and five loaves of barley bread to feed the five thousand people (John 6: 1-13). You can use a children’s bible to tell the story or just tell it in such a way that this age group will understand.

Discussion:
Ask the children what they can share with their friends and family members. Explain that toys and food are not the only things we can share. We can share attitudes also. Discuss ways that they can share positive attitudes with others.

Activity:
Give the children a paper and crayons or markers. Let them color a picture and give it to another classmate.

Cooking Time:
Have the children help you make a trail mix. Have them take turns dumping the ingredients into the bowl. Then let them help you stir it together with a big wooden spoon.
Need: 1 large bowl
1 or 2 wooden spoons
1 pkg. of raisins
1 pkg. of chex cereal or fruit loops
1 pkg. of m&m’s
1 pkg. of marshmallows
Snack size baggies (enough for each child to have 3)
After the trail mix has been prepared, put some into each of the baggies. Explain to the children that one baggie is for them and the rest are for them to share with two other people.
