I like to use the lesson of Joshua crossing the Jordan to remind my 6-8 year olds that everyone is important and valuable to God. I also use this Sunday school activity that can be done outside or inside.
Sunday School Activity for Lesson of “Joshua Crossing the Jordan”

Tell the story of Joshua leading the armies across the Jordan from Joshua 3-4. You can read the story from a children’s bible or just tell it in such a way that this age group can understand.

Ask the children who is important to God. Emphasize that everyone is important to Him and that is why He is so good to us.
