Uzziah Word Wall- Word wall templates are large flash card printables that you can hang on the wall to aid children when they are learning or using new vocabulary words.



Plan:


Circle Time:

Read story: “Uzziah” from your own story book.


Then ask questions from below.

What did Uzziah forget to do for God? He forgot to thank God.

Who started to believe that he was the one who was the best? Uzziah

What did Uzziah do instead of thanking God for what God did? Uzziah started bragging about the things he did.

Was God happy with Uzziah? No

What disease did Uzziah suddenly get? Leprosy



Songs and/or Finger Plays:

Introduce songs and/or finger plays: What should you say when someone does something kind for you? How do you feel when you say “Thank you” to God?

Crafts:

Introduce craft: What should you say when someone says “Thank you” to you? God has given us so many things to be thankful for. What are you thankful for?

enchantedlearning.com- Thankful Tree
Make green leaves or fall color leaves for the fall. This also makes a great bulletin board.










Grace Before Meals 3-D Picture- Students make a placemat any way they like using a large piece of construction paper 18 X 12”and other craft supplies. Then glue a napkin, silverware, plate, and a plastic cup on it like a place setting. Students then glue the Grace Before Meals prayer on the plate.

*After my students make their placemats I asked them, “How do we set a table?” We then do it slowly step-by-step making the craft (I have the students glue the prayer on the plate later) so hopefully they can help out at home setting the table.

I then say to my students: Do any of you say “grace” or thank God before you eat your meals? Do any of you have a “standard” grace you say at home? (Give a few examples.) Why do we say grace? Is it important? Why?

Sometimes we can easily forget to thank the Lord for all He has given to us. Uzziah forgot to thank God. A great way to remember to thank God is to always pray to Him to thank Him for the food He gives us to eat each day.

We have lots to be thankful for. Let’s not forget to say thank you to God.

Grace Before Meals

Bless us, O Lord, and these your gifts which we are about to receive from your bounty, through Christ our Lord. Amen.



Introduce craft? What terrible disease did Uzziah get? Leprosy

Let someone pretend to be Uzziah. That person will try to put white sticker dots on everyone.

Introduce game: What did Uzziah do instead of thanking God for what God did? Uzziah started bragging about the things he did.

Bring a rope and play tug-of-war. Talk about how the two sides can represent following God’s ways or following our way. Share how pride pulls again God’s way to try to make us do things our way. Share how God’s ways are best and He always wants to help us and give us the best.

dltk-bible.com-
Thank you God for - in this game, children sit in a circle and pass the beanbag to each other, whoever is holding the beanbag says "thank you God for ______" and then says something they are thankful for and passes the beanbag to someone else. Encourage children to give everyone a turn with the beanbag and not just pass it back and forth to the friends next to them. Also, when children say something, never criticize what they are thankful for. Preschool aged children often think of things we forget about/take for granted from pets to pillows, to their beds to thank God for.


Introduce game: What letter does Uzziah start with? U

Play Horseshoes- Show the students one of the horseshoes and ask them what letter do they see. Then play Horseshoes.



Introduce game: How do you think God feels when you say “Thank you” to Him?

daniellesplace.com- Play a Musical Chairs Thank You Game (scroll down to this game)







Who Gave Thanks To God: (card game) Are you thankful to God? Here is a fun game about Biblical characters that are thankful to God.
The object of the game is to match more pairs of cards than the opposing player(s). On each turn, the player will turn over two cards (one at a time) and will read them out loud (or someone else can read the cards for them). The player keeps them if they match (the question card is answered correctly by matching it with the proper picture card). The cards are color coded to avoid confusion of which pair of cards match (each matching pair shares the same text box color). If the player successfully match a pair of cards, that player also gets to take another turn. When a player turns over two cards that do not go together, those cards are turned face down again where they were found and it becomes the next player’s turn.









Introduce game: Uzziah became prideful and forgot about God. He thought other things were more important, like himself.


4 pages of cards

I Love God Above All Things: is played with a deck of cards with pictures of various objects on them. The purpose of this game is see if you can "lose" all of your objects (cards) that you have valued over God.

Introduction: We are to love God above all things. We cannot value money, power, TV, music, video games, homework, friends or other things before our relationship with God. Can you put God first in your life?



Snacks:

Introduce snack: We need to be thankful to God for giving us our basic needs. As in the prayer we just learned, we are thankful for the gifts we are about to receive.

(If they cannot read, the teacher or someone else can read it for them). Two players may share one square at a time. If they land on a “Draw a Card”, the player draws a card and reads it out loud. On each card is a situation that the player must answer correctly to show the special love Jesus says we should have for others. If the player is correct, they can stay where they are. If they are not correct, they must go back to where they were. The first player to the FINISH, wins. Continue playing to find out who comes in second, third, fourth, etc. place.

If it is a Random Act of Kindness, receive 1 Random Acts of Kindness token (or milk cap, poker chip, etc.). If it is not a Random Act of Kindness, lose a token. When the player receives 10 Random Acts of Kindness tokens, they work their way around the board to “Spread Kindness”. Players must roll the exact number to “Spread Kindness”. Continue playing to find out who comes in second, third, fourth, etc. place.

Games:

Introduce game: Did the people listen and do what Moses said? Do you think that is easy? Can you do that?


Moses Says

Need: Nothing

Directions: Played just like Simon Says. Moses says, “Hop on one foot.” Etc.



Introduce game: So you think you are good at following directions? Let’s find out.

Following Directions

Need: Bop It, Ballzerko, Simon, etc.

Directions: Divide the class into groups. Have one group play one game and the other plays another, etc. Students must do what the toy tells them to do. Change games after all students get a chance to play.



Introduce game: Moses led his people through the desert. Do you think they did what he told them to do? Do you think this was easy? Let’s find out.

Outrageous Desert Obstacle Course

Set up an obstacle course that the students must do the crab walk backwards through it. Have them crab walk around objects, go under the table, carry a ball on their stomach and put it into the trash can, etc. Demonstrate what you want the students to do.


Another version:

Introduce game: Do you think it was easy to walk in the desert? Let’s find out.

Supply list: one table, one chair

Set up your obstacle course as described in your instructions and have the children watch you walk through the obstacle course before they try it themselves. As you go through each stage, explain what it represents.

Say: First, you’ll hop on one foot because the sand is so hot. Next, you will crawl under a table to get away from the sun. Then you roll on the ground from exhaustion. Finally, you crawl to a chair to rest.

Have the children go through the obstacle course, resetting it for each child as needed.



Introduce game: What did the Israelites see day in and day out on the desert? Sand

Pass the Sand!

Divide the group into two teams and line them up. Have the first team players in line grab a handful of sand from a container. They must pass the sand to the next player, who passes it to the next player, and so on down the line. When the sand reaches the last player, she pours what's left of it onto a plate. The team with the most sand at the end of the relay wins the game. You may have to weigh the sand on a food scale to find out if it's close!

Have students color paper plate green on one side and fold plate in half. (Note: Be sure to have students use old crayons and peel the paper off of crayons and rub the side of the crayon on the paper plate instead of coloring it. This will be a lot faster and easier for the students). Students then cut out two eyes that are pre drawn on white construction paper (round circles that are at least three inches across) and color eyes. Glue on eyes on outside of frog (green side) on the top of the paper plate that is folded in half. Have the eyes halfway on and halfway hanging off the fold near the center. Glue tongue inside the frog’s mouth starting from the center of the fold and out the front of the mouth. Curl tongue with pencil and draw a bug on end of tongue if you wish.

Review:
Prayer and questions from last week’s lesson

Vocabulary Words:

The activity below is free, however it can only to be used for classroom and personal use.

Reproduction or retransmission of any materials, in whole or in part, in any manner, is not permitted. All graphics/images/clipart etc. used on these activities are not my own and are from various internet sources.

Offering Word Wall- Word wall templates are large flash card printables that you can hang on the wall to aid children when they are learning or using new vocabulary words. (Ask the children what the person is doing in the first picture. Have you seen people doing this during Mass? Discuss. Ask the children what the second picture is. Tell them we are supposed to help others and we can do that by giving. Ask them what other things we can give those who need help (clothes, blankets, water, shelter, medicine, etc.).



Plan:


Circle Time:

Read story: “The Widow’s Mite” from your own story book.


Then ask questions from below.

How much did the widow give? All she had.

How many coins did she give? 2

How much was it worth? Less than a penny.

Why did Jesus especially appreciate the Widow’s gift of coins? Jesus liked the way the widow gave all she had from the heart. He saw her great faith in God and the church’s work. Jesus appreciated how she gave what she had without grumbling or showing off.

What can people give to the church instead of money? People can make large or small sacrifices of time. People can do community service which is helping others at church and out in the community.

Does this story mean a small gift is always better than a large gift? Give what you can to help others and the church. It doesn’t matter who much or how little, but give from the heart.

What things do we (or our parents) give to the church? Things: money, time, food for the poor, coats and clothes for people who need them, etc.

What is the money given to the church used for? Missionaries, charities, running the church, church maintenance, food for the poor, etc.



Songs and/or Finger Plays:

Introduce songs and/or finger plays: When we give to the church how should be act? Should we grumble? Show off to others that we gave? Should we boast about how much we gave?

Coin Toss- See who can toss the coin into a bowl. Share how the woman gave all she had to the church.




Tithing: A simple game to help reinforce tithing to young children.


Introduction: Tithing is our contribution to the support of the Church which some people call an offering. The Church uses that money to help pay for the Church expenses and contributions for the community and around the world.

Directions: Give each player 5 tokens (play money, poker chips, milk caps, etc.) to represent their tithing (money that they have put aside to give to the Church). Put one small basket on the table to put the donations in. Place your marker on any space on the game board. Each player in turn rolls the die and moves their marker along the board. They may go forward or backwards or follow any branch of the board they wish, as long as they only go one direction within a turn. This means that you can go forward or backward, but only forward or only backward in a single turn. When a player lands on a space that has a basket on it, they pick up a Game Card and read it out loud (if they cannot read it, someone else can read it for them). Then they put their donation (1 token) into the basket and their turn is over. The first player to donate all their tithing money wins.






Snacks:

Introduce snack: How many coins did she give? 2
