Children and Family Activities for Dec 6th Advent 2 John the Baptist

 This week we’re hearing from John the Baptist who came to get people ready for Jesus.

 Song: Make Way Make Way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alCQ7fb0hEA

 John the Baptist was a prophet- that someone who tells people what god is thinking and what they should do!


 

Here is part of John’s story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-Wh-A20dSg

 

So John was a strange person!

 

1.     He wore cloths made of camel’s hair.

2.     He ate locusts and wild honey

3.     He shouted out Good News to everyone. Jesus is coming soon…

 

To remind us of his part in God’s story, we could

 

Eat something sweet- like a biscuit or cake.

 

Make the locusts from the pattern in your pack.

You will need a toilet roll and some glue as well.

Cut out the parts of the locust from the green or brown paper and stick them on the roll to make a bug!

 



 

Decorate a paper cup:

This will turn into a mega phone to shout out Good News!

Cut out the shape to make the megaphone.

Decorate it with the words Jesus saves- colour them in.

Use some sticky tape to stick to a  paper cup. Cut a hole in the bottom.

SHOUT to everyone that Jesus is coming!

 

Prayer:

Dear God,

Help us to be ready for Jesus,

To be patient when we’re waiting

And eager to tell other people. Amen

 

Advent is about Light shining in the darkness so how about: My Lighthouse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFBZJGSgyVQ

Sunday March 29th - Sunday Club - The Raising of Lazarus

RESOURCES You will need one 'parcel' with nothing inside it for the 'PASS THE PARCEL' game. Normally, to make the 'parcel' a prize is wrapped in several layers of wrapping paper of fabric. Each layer wrapped as if you were wrapping a gift. If possible, use a different fabric or paper for each layer so you can see the different layers when each one is unwrapped. This time, do not pu a prize inside and use only a few layers, perhaps 2-3. a Gingerbread person or some form of biscuit, a bit of icing and, if possible, 'red shoe laces' to wrap around a happy and a sad face to hold up. You can print and cutout the faces below or draw your own a small box with a lid a piece of paper with Jesus written on it paper and pens SUNDAY CLUB ACTIVITIES The Raising of Lazarus Game...
