BIBLE REFERENCE

Psalms 33.12

LESSON’S OBJECTIVE

To teach the children that only when we love and obey God, can we be truly happy.

VERSE TO MEMORIZE

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD…    Psalms 33.12)

INTRODUCTION

Start by saying the following: "Children, do you know what a nation is? (Wait for their participation.) A Nation (country) is a group of people living in the same place, speaking the same language, having the same habits and obeying the same laws. Each nation has leaders and beliefs. In some countries people use faith in the wrong way and end up contradicting the Word of God. Today we will learn about what makes people from one country to truly be happy.

STORY

KEVIN loved listening to this grandfather’s stories about faraway countries. He taught him about how some live etc. One day they were talking about Israel's wars. Kevin had learned that the Israeli nation was God's chosen and that He wanted to make them a strong nation, blessed, wealthy and peaceful. But unfortunately the people there did not believe that Jesus came into the world to be the Savior of mankind, because of this there are a lot of wars in Israel. At the end of the story, the boy asked:

Grandpa ... What should people do to be happy?

“Kevin, people should love God first, because in His Word is written," Blessed is the nation whose God is the lord ". The country where people seek God will always be blessed, and all will live happily”, said his grandfather.

The boy then realized that people who seek God have peace within themselves, and live in peace with those around them. Just as it happened in King Solomon’s kingdom. He asked the divine wisdom so he could take care for his people. Kevin learned that he should be faithful to Jesus, to serve Him with joy and talk about Him to his friends too.

CONCLUSION

Children, when we have Jesus in our hearts we are happy. The real joy comes from God and the His world. The only truly happy people are those who have God as their Lord. Who here loves God say amen!

BIBLICAL REFERENCE

Proverbs 12.10

LESSON’S OBJECTIVE

Teach the kids that we have to take care of the animals.

VERSE TO MEMORIZE

A righteous man regards the life of his animal... (Proverbs 3.6)

INTRODUCTION

Take to the classroom illustrations of ants and an elephant (to be used in the conclusion). Educator, search the Internet for pictures of animals and pictures of animals playing with their owners. Start by saying: You see these animals? (Show the illustrations). See how the animals play with their owners. Did you know that God created the animals and that we should take care of them? Today we are going to hear the story of a boy who really loved animals.

STORY 

JOHNNY Loved taking care of animals. Who here has a pet? Raise your hand. It is fun to have one isn’t it? Johnny knew that. He had a little fish also and took care of it really well. He walked his dog and played with his cat too. Johnny lived close to a boy that used to be mistreat his own dog... (show a sad face).

One day, the boy’s dog escaped and came to Johnny’s door. He took the animal inside his home and took care of him. The other boy was searching for his lost dog. He looked everywhere until he saw Johnny walking his dog (put your hand on your forehead and make gestures as if you were looking for something far away). Then he said: This animal is mine! (Make an angry face) Do you know what Johnny said? Stop mistreating your dog! Did you know that the Lord Jesus is sad with those who do evil things to animals?

CONCLUSION

Little friends, God created all living things and He loves every animal, from small, like ants (show the picture) to the big ones like an elephant (show the picture). Good people take care for their animals, but the evil ones mistreat their animals. And we cannot be like that ... Do you all understand?

BIBLICAL REFERENCE

Proverbs 12.10

LESSON’S OBJECTIVE

Teach the kids that we have to take care of the animals.

VERSE TO MEMORIZE

A righteous man regards the life of his animal... (Proverbs 3.6)

INTRODUCTION

Educator, search on the Internet images of animals and welfare institutions, people with their animals and animals receiving veterinary care. Start now by asking: What is the similarity between these animals? (Wait for their participation.) All these animals are receiving care and being treated well. Children, we will learn in today's story about the importance of taking good care of our pets.

STORY

IN A cute little village, lived a boy named Johnny. The child grew up surrounded by many animals, and from a young age he learned how to treat them well. He fed the animals at the right time, played with them and looked after them with great joy. It so happened that Johnny's parents bought a house in the city and decided to move. Johnny could not have many animals in the new house, so he kept a kitten.

Johnny went to school; he met many children and became friends with Paul, a funny boy who loved to make people laugh. At school, Paul seemed to be a good person, but at home, he did not take good care of his dog, as he had no patience.

Johnny felt very sad because Paul was mistreating his dog and so asked Paul if he could look after his dog. Johnny went on to take care of the dog with affection and attention. Time passed and the animal was growing strong and very healthy. When he saw that his dog was been well treated, Paul wanted to understand why his friend gave so much value to animals. Paul thought that animals were not important and therefore could abuse them and mistreat them. Then Johnny said:

Friend, God teaches us in His word that we should take good care of our animals. We must be kind to all creatures of God because He is sad when we are evil.

While Johnny spoke, Paul thought and said: I do not want God to think I'm evil and be sad with me. Then you must change your attitude, said Johnny. - Yes, from now on I will not be evil to animals but will start treating them with love.

CONCLUSION

There are many people who mistreat animals and leave them on the streets leaving them unprotected. We cannot be like that. We must love and take care of the animals, because this displeases God. So take care of your pet with joy, just as Johnny in.

FUN CHAT

You will need brown tape. Start by choosing the kids that are with a white blouse or a similar tone. Ask the educator assistant you to take them to the back of the class where others cannot see them. The educator assistant should place pieces of tape on the blouse of the children selected and then take them to the front of the class. Educator, ask the class: Look closely at these children. (Point to them). Is there something different about them? Look at their clothes. What do you think? (They will probably notice the tape) Conclude: The difference is that in their clothes there is a bit of tape, Children as this bit of tape caught the attention; God also sees when we're doing the right things and the wrong things. Even the little things, God sees, so the children that have a habit of abusing and mistreating animals end up losing the blessings of God. Who here wants to please God in everything? Then we will pray for Him to forgive us of our bad actions and bless us. Educator, ask the following questions:

1. Do you have a pet? Do you take good care of it? 2. What is your opinion about Paul's behavior? 3. In your opinion, why was Johnny so kind to animals? 4. Have you seen someone mistreating an animal? 5. Have you mistreated an animal? Have you repented? Educator, allow the kids to express themselves and give the opportunity for those who want to talk.

INTRODUCTION

Educator, search on the Internet photos of animals and welfare institutions, people with their animals and animals receiving veterinary care. Start now by asking the question: What is the similarity between these animals? (Wait for their participation.) All these animals are been cared for and in today's story we will learn about the importance of taking good care of our animals.

STORY

LEO LIVED in a big countryside house full of animals. Since childhood, he helped his father care for the animals. Leo played, petted and fed the little animals with care. He knew how to care for them and all looked strong and healthy.

One day, Leo's family moved to a house in the city. There, the child could not have many animals but a cat only. Leo could not understand why the city had so many abandoned and injured animals. His desire was to take the animals home, but there was not enough space for that.

He made many friends at his new school, became friends with Paul, a very funny child, but he had a flaw: he did not like animals. He did many bad things to his dog, and always did something against the animals that he happened to find on the streets near his home.

Until one day, Leo was very sad with the way his friend was treating his dog and then decided to ask Paul to give him his pet so he could care for it, and the boy gave it to him.

Leo, along with his father, looked after the dog caringly. After a few days the animal was healthy and strong. When Paul saw his dog so well looked after, he asked: Leo ... What makes you love animals so much? My pet looks so different now! "What happened? And Leo said, smiling:

I'm just treating this animal with love. My father and me gave him food, played and walk with him, did everything to treat it well, just like the Word of God teaches us. Does the Word of God talk about animals? Asked Paul "Yes, God in the Bible, we learn that good people take good care of their animals, but people      that   have a      bad  heart           are     evil      with     their    pets. And Paul said: I do not want God to be sad with me. Starting today I will no longer be evil with any animal and I will treat them very well, said Paul repented of his bad attitude.

CONCLUSION

Children, God created the world through His Word. He gave life to all living things. God did not forget the animals and placed man (humans) to take care of them. So we should treat animals with kindness and respect, and hate violence against animals as this is displeasing to God.
