Object Lesson

Title: God’s Super Helmet: Protecting Our Hearts and Minds

Props Needed:
1. A toy helmet (can be a sports helmet or a costume helmet)
2. A soft toy representing a heart (like a plush heart)
3. A toy brain (preferably a fun, cartoonish one)
4. A large cardboard cut-out of a shield (to represent protection)
5. Colorful markers and stickers for kids to decorate the helmet
6. A small mirror
7. A cloth or blanket (to represent the “fears” or “worries”)
8. A music player with uplifting background music

Presentation Steps:

1. **Introduction:** Begin by gathering the children in a circle and showing them the toy helmet. Ask them what they think a helmet is used for. Allow them to share their thoughts, especially related to safety and protection.

2. **The Concept of Salvation:** Explain that in the Bible, the “Helmet of Salvation” is like God’s super helmet. Its purpose is to protect our hearts and minds from bad thoughts, fears, and worries. Use the soft toy heart and toy brain to visually emphasize what the helmet protects.

3. **Demonstrate Protection:**
– Hold up the large cardboard shield and explain how it represents God’s protection.
– Ask a child to hold the shield in front of the heart and brain toys, symbolizing that God’s protection keeps negative things away.

4. **Decorating the Helmet:** Pass around colorful markers and stickers, inviting the children to decorate the helmet. Encourage them to write or draw things that remind them of God’s love, such as happy faces, their families, and things they are thankful for.

5. **The Power of the Helmet:** After decorating, have a volunteer wear the helmet. Use the small mirror to let them see how they look while wearing it. Explain that when we wear God’s helmet, it makes us feel confident and safe.

6. **Facing Fears and Worries:** Spread out the cloth or blanket on the floor and toss some small, soft toys onto it (representing fears and worries). Ask the children what things make them feel afraid or worried. As they share, gently pile those toys onto the blanket.

7. **Using the Helmet for Protection:** Invite the child wearing the helmet to stand behind the shield and ask them to push back any worries by “deflecting” the toys (gently swatting them away with the shield). This symbolizes how God helps us push away fears when we trust in Him.

8. **Conclusion with Music:** Play uplifting background music and gather everyone close. Encourage the kids to put their hands over their hearts and say affirmations like, “I am safe with God!” or “God protects my heart and mind!”

9. **Closing Prayer:** Finish with a simple prayer, thanking God for His helmet of salvation that protects us and asking for help in trusting Him during tough times.

This illustration blends visual aids, interactive activities, and heartfelt discussions to engage young children, teaching them about the importance of the Helmet of Salvation and its protective power in their lives.

Craft Idea

Craft Idea: “God’s Super Helmet”

This craft will allow children to create their own helmet as a reminder of the Helmet of Salvation and how it protects their hearts and minds in their daily lives.

Supplies Needed:
1. Black construction paper or cardstock (1 sheet per child)
2. Colored construction paper (various colors for decoration)
3. Scissors (to be used by adults or under supervision)
4. Glue or tape
5. Markers or crayons
6. Stickers (optional)
7. Hole puncher
8. Elastic string or ribbon (for wearing the helmet)
9. Printouts of phrases such as “God protects my heart and mind” for decoration (optional)

Instructions:
1. Begin by discussing the concept of the Helmet of Salvation and how it is used to protect our hearts and minds through faith in God.

2. Give each child a sheet of black construction paper or cardstock. Instruct them to cut out a helmet shape. You can use a template for younger ones, or guide them in making a simple helmet shape with a front, back, and sides.

3. Once the helmet shapes are cut out, allow children to decorate them with colored construction paper, stickers, and markers. They can draw Bible verses, encouraging words, or symbols that represent salvation and protection.

4. After decorating, help the children punch holes on either side of their helmets near the bottom edge. This is where the elastic string or ribbon will be attached.

5. Cut a length of elastic string or ribbon long enough to go around the child’s head comfortably. Tie knots in the ends and thread them through the holes punched in the helmet.

6. Encourage the children to wear their helmets and share what the Helmet of Salvation means to them. Discuss how it reminds them to protect their hearts and minds with the truth of God’s Word.

7. Optionally, you can make a wall display of their helmets at the end of the craft session to celebrate their hard work!

Remember to end with a prayer, thanking God for His protection and the gift of salvation.
