Preschool Sunday School Lesson to help teach Resisting Temptation & the Reason for Rules
Sunday School Lesson Activity: resisting temptation
Place a basket of healthy snacks on the table with some candy choices as well. Tell the students that they can pick a snack from the basket, but not the candy. Then leave the room for a few moments. (Stand outside the door to ensure safety and so that you can hear any discussion.) When you reenter the room, note what they took, did anyone take the candy? Explain that God told Adam and Eve that they could eat what they wanted, but not to take the fruit from the tree of knowledge and that is what they’ll learn today.
Bible Story:
Tell the story of Genesis 3 in basic language that this age can understand. There are several picture versions in children’s Bibles that are appropriate.
Sunday School Lesson Discussion: the reason for rules
God was sad that Adam and Eve didn’t listen to him. Why does God have rules for us to follow? Do rules help us? Also discuss parents’ boundaries and consequences.
Song: This little light of mine
I’m going to let it shine
This little light of mine
I’m going to let it shine
This little light of mine
I’m going to let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine
Verses:
Hide it under a bushel no
I’m going to let it shine
Hide it under a bushel no
I’m going to let it shine
Hide it under a bushel no
I’m going to let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine
Don’t let Satan blow it out,
I’m going to let it shine (3x)
Let it shine (3x)
Sunday School Lesson Game: Simon Says
Give the students a command to follow using the phrase “Simon says”. If you don’t say “Simon says”, the students shouldn’t follow the command. Example: “Simon says, stand up.”
