Emotions: Lesson 5 – October 6/7 Group Time Guide: Pre-K 1

Group Time Guide Supplies Needed: Emotions Cards

1. Introductions and Snack Circle Up: Have everyone put their hands in the middle, on three yell “Kid-O-Deo!” and sit down. Encourage each Kid-O to say their name. Do This: Give kids hand sanitizer, then hand each of them a snack.

2. Discussion Questions and Repeatable Phrases • • • •

What did God help Joseph do when he was afraid? (Make wise choices.) What could someone do if they felt afraid? (Talk to God, and a grown-up.) I can always trust God. I can make wise choices.

3. Hands-On Option Do This: Read each of the “Emotions Cards” one at a time. Have kids try to make a face to match that emotion. For example, for sadness they might frown. For happiness, they could smile or cheer. The Point: We can make wise choices, no matter how we feel. Feeling angry is ok, and feeling sad is ok, but we can still make wise choices when we feel that way, like being kind and forgiving others.

4. Big Idea, Memory Verse, Stickers, and Prayer Do This: Practice the Big Idea and Memory Verse with the kids, as time allows. You could use different voices, or simply have them repeat after you. You could even have a Kid-O lead the verse, if you think they’re ready. Give each kid a sticker. Encourage them to talk about what they learned with their grown-ups. Do This: Pray! “Dear God, we love you. Thank you for loving us. Help us to make wise choices, even when we are afraid. Amen.”
