Happy new year, Kidcity families!

We wanted to offer a few directions as you navigate leading your preschooler through today’s lesson and activities. Below you will find our Bible passage for the day, a lesson plan for the day, and several other tips that can help you and your child as you study and worship this morning.

Here are the materials you will need for our lesson today:

  • Coloring Supplies

  • Brown Paper Bags

  • Various Items

  • Dress-Up Clothes

1. Read the Bible Passage | Genesis 27-28

2. Ask the Big Picture Question:

Does God keep His promises?

3. Watch the Bible Story

4. Review the Key Verse

Genesis 28:15a, “Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go.”

5. Answer the Big Picture Question

God always keeps His promises.

6. Pray together

7. Do one or both of the Activities

Activity #1: Feel Mystery Items

Directions 

Gather various items that will fit in a brown paper bag. Choose items that are readily available and vary in textures and sizes. Place each item in individual brown paper bags. Allow your preschooler to feel the item inside each bag without looking in the bag. Encourage your children to guess what the item is. Reveal the item after your child has had several guesses. 

Say 

Good job guessing what was in each bag. Was it easy or hard to tell what each thing was by feeling it? In today’s Bible story, Isaac felt some hands that were hairy. He thought they belonged to his son Esau, but he was wrong. We will find out whose hands they were in today’s Bible story. 

Activity #2: Play Dress-Up

Directions 

Set out a variety of dress-up clothes. Invite your preschooler to try on different items. Challenge your child to create a disguise.

Say 

Rebekah dressed Jacob in Esau’s clothing. She told Jacob to pretend to be Esau. Jacob tricked Isaac. But God had already planned to do His plan through Jacob’s family. God would bless Jacob’s family and even a whole nation as part of His plan to bring Jesus, the Savior of the world.

EXTRA TIPS

  • Start the morning working on the coloring sheet and activity page.

  • As time permits, do one activity before the Bible Story Video and one activity afterward, to help reinforce the message.

  • Encourage your preschooler to memorize the Key Verse, Genesis 28:15a.
