Being Kind Like Jesus

Possible Viewpont: Evangelical Christian

Title: Being Kind Like Jesus

Introduction:
Hello, little friends! Today, we are going to talk about something very special: being kind! Jesus was the kindest person ever, and He showed us how to treat others with love and care. When we are kind, we make God very happy because we are being responsible children of God.

Bible Verse:
Let’s remember a special Bible verse that teaches us about kindness. It is found in Ephesians 4:32. It says, "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." This verse reminds us that being kind is important and that we should always forgive others, just like Jesus forgives us.

Story Time:
Let me tell you a little story about a boy named Timmy. One day at school, Timmy noticed that his friend, Sarah, was sitting alone during lunch. She looked sad, and Timmy remembered how Jesus always included everyone. So, Timmy walked over to Sarah and said, "Hi, can I sit with you?" Sarah smiled and said, "Yes, please!" Timmy shared his lunch and they talked and laughed together.

When they finished eating, Sarah felt so much happier. She thanked Timmy for being a good friend. Timmy felt great too because he remembered that Jesus wants us to love and care for each other!

Discussion:
Now, let’s think about our own lives. Can you think of a time when you were kind like Jesus? Maybe you helped a teacher, shared your toys, or played with someone who was lonely? Being kind can be simple, like giving a hug, saying kind words, or helping someone in need.

Activity:
Let’s do a fun activity together! Everyone, think of one kind thing you can do this week. It can be helping your parents, being nice to a sibling, or even picking up trash at the park. After thinking of your kind act, let’s share our ideas with the group!

Conclusion:
Remember, being kind is a way to show God’s love to others. When we help each other and treat everyone with respect, we are being responsible children of God. Just like Timmy made Sarah happy, you can make someone else happy this week with your kindness.

Closing Prayer:
Let’s close our eyes and pray. “Dear God, thank you for loving us and teaching us how to be kind like Jesus. Help us to show kindness to everyone we meet. May our hearts be full of love, just like yours. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.”

Thank you, little friends! Remember to be kind and make the world a happier place!

Object Lesson

Title: “Being Kind Like Jesus”

Objective: To teach young children the importance of kindness through a simple story that illustrates Jesus’ compassionate acts.

Materials Needed:

1. A children’s Bible or a picture book about Jesus
2. Soft toy or doll representing Jesus
3. A small toy or a cut-out figure representing a child in need (e.g., a sad face)
4. A colorful blanket or mat
5. A box or basket (to represent the sharing of food or resources)
6. Stickers or small treats (as rewards for participation)

Presentation Steps:

1. **Setting Up**: Arrange a comfortable space where all the children can see you because engagement is crucial at this age. Lay out the colorful blanket or mat for the story’s setting. Place the children’s Bible or picture book beside you.

2. **Introduce the Story**: Begin by showing the children the toy or doll representing Jesus. Explain, “Today, we are going to learn about being kind just like Jesus! Jesus was always helping others and showing love. Let’s hear a story!”

3. **Read a Short Story**: Open the children’s Bible or picture book and read a short story about Jesus helping others, like the story of the Good Samaritan, or when Jesus fed the 5,000. Make sure to use animated expressions and voice variations to keep the children engaged.

4. **Bringing in the Props**: After the story, introduce the sad-faced figure or toy that represents a child in need. Explain, “Sometimes, we see others who might be sad or in need of help. Like Jesus, we can be responsible and kind!”

5. **Role-Playing Kindness**: Invite a few children to act out being caring and kind. They can approach the sad-faced figure and pretend to help or share something (you can use the box or basket as a prop for sharing food or toys). Allow each child a turn to show kindness in front of the group, reminding them to think of ways they can help others.

6. **Discussion Time**: After the role-playing, gather the children in a circle. Ask them questions like, “What did Jesus do to show kindness?” and “How can we help our friends?” Encourage them to share their own experiences or ideas about being kind.

7. **Rewarding Kindness**: Conclude the session by giving each child a sticker or small treat as a reward for their kindness during the activity. Explain, “Just like Jesus, when we are kind, we spread love and joy!”

8. **Closing Prayer**: End with a simple closing prayer, thanking God for Jesus’ example of kindness and asking for help to be kind to others.

By incorporating engaging storytelling, props, and interactive role-play, this illustration teaches young children the essence of being kind like Jesus in a fun and memorable way.

Craft Idea

Craft Idea: Kindness Chains

Objective: To help children understand the importance of kindness and encourage them to practice it by creating a visual reminder.

Supply List:
– Colored construction paper (various colors)
– Scissors
– Markers or crayons
– Glue or tape
– String or yarn (optional, for display)
– Hole punch (optional)

Instructions:

1. **Prepare the Construction Paper:**
– Cut the colored construction paper into strips about 1 inch wide and 6 inches long. Each child can cut their own if you want to involve them in the preparation, or you can prepare them ahead of time.

2. **Discuss Kindness:**
– Before starting the project, gather the children and discuss what kindness is and how Jesus exemplified kindness in His life. Share examples from the Bible where Jesus showed kindness to others.

3. **Writing Kindness Acts:**
– Ask each child to think of a kind act they can do for someone else, such as helping a friend, sharing, or saying a kind word. Encourage them to think of specific ways they can be kind this week.
– Have the children write their kind acts on the construction paper strips with markers or crayons.

4. **Forming the Kindness Chain:**
– Once they have written their acts of kindness, show them how to make a chain by taking one strip, forming it into a circle, and either gluing or taping the ends together.
– Then, take another strip, loop it through the first circle, and glue or tape the ends together. Continue this process until all strips are connected, creating a long chain of kindness.

5. **Display:**
– Once completed, the children can hang their kindness chains in a prominent place at home as a reminder to practice kindness throughout the week. If you have string or yarn, you can also create a display in the classroom by hanging the chains together.

6. **Closing Prayer:**
– End the craft session with a brief prayer, asking God to help everyone remember to be kind like Jesus and to inspire others with their kind actions.

This craft not only serves as a fun activity but also reinforces the message of being responsible children of God by actively practicing kindness.
