It’s important to teach kids to respond to God’s Word every time they read it. A response can be a question, something that made you smile, or another story in the Bible that this reminds you of. Responding to God’s Word can also be something you do: acting out what you read, building the story out of Legos, or praying about something God said. There are no right or wrong answers, it’s about teaching your children to read God’s Word and respond to Him. Each week we will post new questions and activity ideas to get you started. Don’t feel pressured to get through them all– just pick a few that fit your family and see how they lead to great conversations about who Jesus is!
Revelation 5
Response Activities:
- Wooly Sheep: Jesus is called a Lamb in this story. Print out this sheep printable. Cut out a sheep and glue it to a sheet of construction paper. Glue cotton balls on your sheep to create wool. Write “Lamb of God” on your paper.
- Swirly Sheep: On a piece of construction paper, design a sheep that fills up most of the page. Have kids design a big sheep that fills most of their picture. Draw the outside of the body, legs, and the head first. Then, fill in the wool with small swirls using different colors to represent Jesus’ death and resurrection. The Lamb was already slain, but in John’s vision, it was alive, just like Jesus.
