The story of Joseph, son of Jacob, is a perfect story to teach your toddler Sunday school class about getting along with their siblings and friends. The song and activity help reinforce the message of the lesson.
Bible Story:
Tell the story of Joseph in a language that this age can understand. Be sure that it is a simplified version; the verse selection is Genesis 37. There are several picture versions in children’s Bibles that are appropriate.
Discussion: jealousy
Joseph’s brothers were jealous of him and weren’t nice to him. Have you ever had trouble with your brother or sister? How does your mom or dad make you feel special?
Song:
I’m in right, out right, up right, down right, happy all the time.
I’m in right, out right, up right, down right, happy all the time.
Since Jesus Christ came in,
and cleansed my heart from sin.
I’m in right, out right, up right, down right, happy all the time.
Activity:
Using a file folder or some other durable paper, draw the outline of a coat to use as a stencil. Have students trace the coat onto a separate piece of paper and cut it out. They can add the many colors to the coat with markers. Using a hole-punch, punch holes every ½ inch around the edge of the coat. Give each student yarn so they can practice sewing the coat.
