Jesus Without Language

This bookcase image is one of my favourite graphics on-site.
It’s not only a great way to track what you’ve covered (as it’s used in the 10-year pack) but it’s also a great stand-alone colouring page.

I’ve provided the image here with just the books to colour, and another with the whole thing blank.

Does your church do the blessing of the backpacks?

These two little backpack blessings tags are easy to print, laminate, punch a hole and attach to a backpack.
Pop your church logo on the back or back with some pretty card to make the whole thing a bit more sturdy.

Save the image directly from this page to print. They are made to be the size of a business card.

This game features in the Persistent Widow Lesson pack.
It involves laying the tiles down in such a way as to form a continuous looping pathway. It can also be played competitively with two players. Each player needs a whole set of the tiles so two sets are provided in different colours.

Bonus Thank You card: it comes without the writing

The story of the thankful leper lends itself well to group activities. These games play with ideas in the passage found in Luke 17.

How Many “Thank You”s? – Print the game by clicking on the image and downloading the file. Start with 10 people/counters and use a dice to move your crowd from Jesus to the priest and back again. Lose one or more every time you land on a space with writing! How many of your crowd of 10 can make it back to Jesus to say thank you? If you lose all your people you are out of the game!
Link: Only one made it back to say thank you.
 

Group Balance – Write some large numbers on a set of cards and shuffle them. Gather the children together and explain that the first number is the number of people in a group and the second number is the number of hands or feet to be touching the floor. The group then gathers and works out how to balance with the number given. Smaller groups can just use the second number.
Link: Leprosy affects the feeling in your limbs; so lepers may need to work together to do tasks.
 

Musical Chairs – Set out one less chair than there are players. Dance around the chairs until the music stops and then race to sit down. Anyone without a chair is out of the game. Have the last player, the winner, thank the other players for taking part.
Link: many were healed but only one thanked.
