KEY PASSAGE MOTIONS

Say the key passage using motions. Repeat several times and encourage children for trying. “He (point up) must become greater, (hold arms upward in a V) but I (point thumbs to chest) must become less (crouch down)” John 3:30 (open hands like a book).

REVIEW

Show preschoolers a Bible, and retell or reread the story, if needed. You can ask the following questions:

Who did Jesus ask to follow Him? (12 men/disciples)

What did Jesus want His disciples to do? (Tell people about Him.)

Who can we tell about Jesus? (Any answer is acceptable.)

SAY • Being a disciple was a really important job, and in the Bible we read that we can be disciples, too, by telling our friends who Jesus is.  That’s a big job, but we can do it just like John did when he said, “He must become greater, and I must become less.”

PRAY

Invite your child to share anything they are thankful for or worried about. You can share something you’re thankful for to guide them.

SAY • Jesus, thank you for loving us enough to come all the way to earth and ask some men to follow you.  Because of you and because of them, we get the chance to learn about how you lived, died, and came back to life because you loved us. Thank you for comforting us when we are worried and for giving us good things in our lives to celebrate.
