Emotions: Lesson 2 – Sept 15/16 Group Time Guide: Kindergarten

Group Time Guide Supplies Needed: Stuffed Raccoon

1. Introductions and Snack Circle Up: Have each Kid-O give you a high five, and then sit down. Try to get them each sitting in a circle. Encourage each Kid-O to say their name as you give them hand sanitizer. Do This: Give kids hand sanitizer, then hand each of them a snack.

2. Discussion Questions • What is something you do when you feel very happy? (Cheer, dance, smile.) • Who felt happy in our Bible Adventure story? (The blind man.) • Why did he feel happy? (Jesus cared about him and loved him.)

3. Hands-On Option Do This: Ask kids a question, then pass around a stuffed “Rocky” raccoon. Whenever a kid gets Rocky, they must answer the question. When Rocky gets back to you, ask a new question, and pass him around again. Questions to ask: What is your favorite animal? What is your favorite candy? What’s your favorite holiday? The Point: It’s fun to talk about things that make us happy. Jesus cares about the things that make us happy, too! He loves when you talk to him about the way you feel.

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. Do This: 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. Thanks for giving us so much to be happy about. Amen.”
