The following crafts and learning activities come from the Sunday school lesson "The Love Letter" on The Resource Room.

 

 

1. Before class cut out eleven hearts from construction paper for every three children in your class.

2. Write one word of the verse and the verse reference on the hearts.

3. As the children arrive hand a set of eleven hearts to every two or three children depending on how large your class is. Encourage them to help each other put the hearts in order to make the memory verse.

4. If they can't figure out the verse, let them look it up in their Bibles.

3. In class spread out the hearts on a table so the children can see them or tape them to a bulletin board. Assign each child, or group of children, one of the Bible verses. Have them look up the verses, read them and decide which of the hearts go with their verses.

4. Have each group of children read their verse and explain why they picked the heart they picked. Check the bible verse list to see if they are correct.

5. Staple the corresponding Bible verse on the bulletin board and have one of the children tape the matching heart next to the verse.

6. If you don't have time to split the children up into groups, you can give each child a heart and then read a verse and staple it to the bulletin board. If a child thinks he has the matching heart, he can raise his hand. If the heart matches he can tape the heart next to the verse.

In class have your children cut out the heart shapes and glue them to the grid in any order they would like.

They will have one heart left over. When they are done preparing their Bingo cards play the game.

To play have the children take turns picking one of the letters L, O, V, or E and then read one of the Bible verses that go with the hearts and ask your students which heart they think matches the Bible verse. When they have guessed correctly let them place a marker on the heart if they have it on their board under the letter the child picked. Remind them that the matching heart must be under the right letter. If it isn't, they can't put a marker on it.

The child who gets four in a row first wins.

Prepare the Game:

1. Before class cut out a large heart from a piece of poster board and glue it to the center of the poster board.

2. Print out the small hearts onto brown paper and cut them out. Glue them around the pink heart.

3. Print out the Love title and glue it to the center of the large heart.

4. Cut two matching heart shapes from pink craft foam. Glue them together around the edges leaving a one inch opening. Stuff the heart with tissues or crinkled up paper and glue the heart closed.

How to Play:

The object of the game is to get as many points as you can by throwing the heart onto the pink heart in the middle. Break your children up into teams and have them take turning tossing the heart. If the heart lands on the pink heart they get 10 points. If it lands on a brown heart or is touching the brown heart they lose 5 points. If the heart lands on a brown heart, ask the child to read the word on the heart and give an example of how that word doesn't show love. For example, if the word is unforgiveness, the child may say, "If someone calls me a bad name and I don't forgive him, I'm not showing love."

The team with the most points wins.

Thank you for all the work that you put into each lesson. They are truly amazing and are the biggest blessing for someone like me who doesn't want to just lecture my kids. I cannot stop telling people about your website. I make sure that Carolyn Warvel gets all the credit in my notes home to the parents. I just want to give her a hug. I would love to pass on to Carolyn all the blessings that she has given to me by having such wonderful ideas for Sunday School. Thank you so much! You are incredible! Keep up the great work! Stephanie
