Gen Kids @ Home Lesson - Amazed, #1: Elementary
October 4, 2020
Our big idea this week is “IT’S AMAZING! GOD TAKES CARE OF ME”
Option 1: Our next step this week is creating thankful cards.
Using construction paper and art supplies, each kid will create a card for someone who takes care of them. This might be a parent, teacher, babysitter, or another family member. Allow them to write or draw why they are thankful to have this person caring for them.
You have people in your life who care for you. We are going to make a card, thanking the person for taking care of you.
Option 2: The Running Pepper What you are going to need is: - Bowl - Water - Black Pepper - Dish Soap
Put a large, clear bowl on a table so all the kids can see. Either fill the bowl with water or have it pre-filled with water before you begin (halfway up is fine). Then, add regular pepper to the water. You can also set up tables, bowls of water, pepper, and dish soap to let the kids try on their own. Do you like pepper on your food? What about salt? Pepper and salt help make things taste even better!
Does anything happen when I put my finger in the bowl? No. [Add Dish soap to one of your fingers.] But watch what happens now to the pepper.
[Dip your finger with the dish soap on it onto the surface of the water and the pepper will "run away" from your finger.]That's cool, huh? The pepper ran away from my finger!
