Could I maybe suggest you get one of those childrens bibles. And read and discuss things the stories with your kids. It is good also because it is a story and they are learing, also it is family bonding time. Maybe spend time to making up your own family prayer???
I think it is wonderful that you are doing it, God luck hun!

Next Sunday lesson is on family prayer actually!

Hi

Maybe show then different types of families

God and us

Church

mum and daughter/son

dad and daughter/son

Grandparents and grandkids

And that they all have the same job - to love and support each other unconditionally??

[kymmy]

We did a few different lessons on family, including the whole family, brothers and siblings, etc.
Now its on family prayer....any ideas?

[Karizma]

I was thinking maybe like let the kids have one line each of thier own to add to the prayer. That will be more involving for the kids.

Next Sunday the lesson is on obedience....

So you teach NURSERY!!! :laughing: How wonderful!!!:yelclap:

OBIEDIENCE: You could play Simon says...sing do as i'm doing.....Smilely/sad (upside down..)face for children to colour in "I'm happy when I obay I'm sad when I do not"?

PRAYER: Sing We bow our heads and close our eyes...teach by example?

Aaaah Trystan - why laugh!
Nursery is hard work. :o
Very stressful and to teach them is very demanding yet rewarding I must say.:thumbsup:

Simon Says - that is a good idea
and of course always teaching by example.

Thank goodness I teach - don't have to organise the activity too.:smiliedance:
