Sunday School Activities for the lesson of “Jesus Calms the Storm”
Bible Story:
Tell the story of Jesus calming the storm (Mark 4: 35-41). You can use a children’s bible or just tell it in such a way that the children can understand it.
Discussion:
Ask the children if they think about asking for God’s help when they are having a hard day. Explain to them that God will help them get through the tough days if they will just ask.
Activity:
Ask the children what kinds of things upset them. Write about eight to ten of their answers on a piece of paper. Tell the children that these are the crazies. Tell them that you are going to read some crazies then read some calm downs from the Bible. Tell them to wiggle one finger, arm, leg or their head when you read a crazy. Then tell them to stop wiggling one thing each time you read a calm down. Read from your list of crazies.
After the children are wiggling all over, begin reading calm downs. For the calm downs you can use the following list of verses:
Philippians 4:6, Luke 12:25, Psalm 23:1, Isaiah 7:4b, Proverbs 16:4a, Psalm 147:3a, Matthew 28:20b.
Discuss what we can do at home when the crazies are getting to us.
