One of the best lessons that Sunday school teachers teach is to get their students to value themselves. This lesson for your 6-8 year olds teaches them how to value their own unique qualities.
Bible Story:
Use the verses 1st Corinthians 15:3, 1st Thessalonians 5:10, and 1st Peter 3: 15 to tell the children about how much Jesus loves each and every one of us. Tell the children this concept in such a way that they can understand.
Discussion:
Ask the children if each one of them is the same. Emphasize that being different from each other is good and that without differences the world would be boring. Ask them to share one thing that they think is unique about themselves.
Activity:
Give each child two pieces of card stock that says:
“I am special to Jesus. I am also special to my friend _________ because _________.”
Have them draw a picture of two different friends in the class. In the blanks have them write their name then something that makes that friend special. Help those children who need help writing. Then have them give their pictures to those friends that they drew and wrote about.
Song:
Sing the song Jesus Loves Me
