I am wondering if sheep have any special significance. So it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should be lost" (Matthew 18:12-14). The teacher can place different candy items in each cupcake so that the children will enjoy showing what they have FOUND in their treat."What do you think? If a shepherd has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. Tell children that something is LOST inside their treat and to show everyone what is lost in THEIR own cupcake.
SNACK TIME: Bake cupcakes for each child and before frosting the cooled cupcakes, carefully push a gummy bear or another small candy into the cupcake and then frost. The children can glue the various shapes of construction paper to the door banner and add cotton to the sheep green strips of paper as grass with little snips cut into the paper to look like grass, etc. Then the teacher can begin removing a sheep in various places to see if the children can remember what part of the verse was just removed.ĭOOR BANNER: Give the class the supplies to make a large door banner - using construction paper cut outs of parts of the shepherd and sheep, grass, sky, etc. After all the verse has been placed together, the class can recite the Bible verse together. After finding parts of today's Bible verse, the children will put the verse together on the table to taping to a focal wall in the classroom. (The "pictures" of sheep could be just round white circles with a little cotton around the edges, if desired). SHEEP BIBLE VERSE HUNT: Write today's Bible verse on several to many little pictures of sheep and let the children HUNT for the sheep. SHEEP SKIT: Let children act out a skit of today's lesson - some children being the sheep (down on all fours) and one child to be the shepherd and one child as the LOST sheep - hiding somewhere for the Shepherd to find it at that part of the Bible story. Children can then use markers to draw grass, sky, sun, etc and write JESUS NEVER GIVES UP ON A LOST SHEEP. The teacher can have some Vaseline smeared on the outline of the sheep on the poster board for children to stick their cotton balls from their noses on the board - no hands allowed!ĬOTTON BALL SHEEP: Give each child an outline of a sheep or the older children could draw a sheep on their own. Make sure to take a class picture of all the "sheep"! If time allows, the children can then see if they can run back and forth to get cotton balls from their noses to stick on an outlined picture of a SHEEP on the other side of the room. SHEEP GAME: Put a little Vaseline on each child's nose and let them see how many cotton balls they can get stuck on their face and nose in the allotted time that the teacher gives them. (Provide some M & M's or something small for all their hard work)! Teacher will say START.or BEGIN and each team will see who can draw 99 sheep in the quickest time. Give each team a poster board and markers. (Make sure to take the used sticker off before continuing to play the game).ĬOUNTING SHEEP: Divide the children into 2 teams. The teacher can continue to place a sticker on different children as time allows. IF the sheep with the sticker is found by the Shepherd, then that sheep will become the new Shepherd and that Shepherd will go back into the circle of sheep. Then the "Shepherd" will guess who has the sticker - that "sheep" will turn around and let the shepherd see if the sticker is on his back if not, the Shepherd will continue to look for his "sheep" with the sticker.
The teacher will walk around the outside edge of the sheep circle and pat each sheep on the back and will "secretly" place a sticker on the back of one child without anyone knowing who she picked for the ONE SHEEP that the Shepherd will find. When the "sheep" are found, they can "baa baa" while waiting for other "sheep" to be found and put in the gate (the "gate" can be formed with chairs or even colored tape on the floor, etc).ĬIRCLE OF SHEEP: One child can be the Shepherd who will stand in the middle of the circle of sheep. ONE child will be the Shepherd and as the Shepherd finds each "sheep", he will bring him to a gated area for the sheep to stay until the end of the game.
HIDE AND SEEK SHEEP: Tell all the children to run and hide in a designated area.
