Message: Jesus did miracles because He is the Son of God. As His children, we can also experience and start miracles by sharing what we have with others!
Message Time:
As an ice breaker, I made the children paste around 100 pcs of paper people in a big paper posted on a sturdy wall. I asked the kids to race.
The paper people were made from paper chain cut outs I did beforehand, but were cut out to appear individually.
After sticking them all, I asked them to guess how many were all the paper people they pasted. Once they guessed correctly, I told them that Jesus was able to feed 100 x 50 = 5000 with just five loaves of bread and two fish.
Some of the older preschoolers were really in disbelief. They were saying that can't be done. So I asked again if Jesus can do that and though I heard a majority of 'yes' there were still the doubting Thomas.
I then showed them the paper chain trick, wherein using just a single piece of paper folded many times over, you may cut out a chain of people. Then, I reinforced the thought that since Jesus is God, He can do all these things and more.
With their wondering mind, I then asked for volunteers to hold up puppets. The puppets were the same puppets I used the previous lesson. However, instead of showing the kids, I have revised the puppet to show just a boy.
Narrator: People from all over would come to hear Jesus speak. They would follow Him wherever He went. One day, they followed Him far out of town. They listened to Him all day, and late in the day they were getting pretty hungry!
Disciple 1: Jesus look at all these people!
Disciple 2: They look very hungry!
Narrator: The crowd was saying, “I am so hungry!” (make the crowd say, “I am so hungry” and if they don’t do it loud enough, make them do it again!)
Jesus: We need to feed them!
Disciple 3: But Jesus, we don’t have any food!
Jesus: No food at all?
Disciple 4: There is a little boy with a little bit of food
Boy: I have 5 little loaves of bread and 2 fish
Disciple 1: I was really hoping for a hamburger
Disciple 2: And a milkshake
Disciple 3: And some French-fries
Disciple 4: What about a nice healthy salad?
Boy: All I have is 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread.
Disciple 1: That’s not enough to feed all these people
Disciple 2: There are 5000 people Jesus!
Narrator: The crowd was saying, “I am so hungry!” (make the crowd say, “I am so hungry” and if they don’t do it loud enough, make them do it again!)
Jesus: (says to the boy) Will you share your lunch with me?
Boy: OK…but it’s only a little lunch!
Narrator: The crowd was saying, “I am so hungry!” (make the crowd say, “I am so hungry” and if they don’t do it loud enough, make them do it again!)
The Boy comes and brings his lunch bag to Jesus
Jesus: (prays) Thank you Father-God for this food. Now…go hand out the food to the people.
Narrator: Then the most amazing thing happened. Jesus prayed over the food and a miracle happened…those 2 fish and 5 pieces of bread became more and more and more…and there were soon basketfuls of bread to feed everyone! No one was hungry at all…they all thanked Jesus for the food!
Thanks to Teresa Klassen for the above script.
Craft activity time:
Recycled CD fish from DLTK-Bible
Step 1
Using the patterns from the above link, pre-cut the various fish parts to be pasted onto the CD.
Step 2
Decorate the shiny part of the CD with permanent marker to give the fish scales.
Step 3 (Optional)
Put string if desired.
Tip on how to check if a CD/DVD has been used
Used CDs and the likes have a different-shaded ring that may be found on the innermost part. Usually that's darker than the rest of the CD.
