Watchdog Lessons

 

 

A series of five Sunday school lessons teaching children how to watch their ways and control what they say. All the lessons come with printable activity sheets, Bible verse cards, songs, several crafts, and activities that reinforce the lesson.

 

 

Bible Verse: "I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me. " Ps 39:1, and Psalm 141:3

In the first lesson children learn what a watchdog and a watchdog group are, and are introduced to the "Watch My Ways" Watchdog Group. They learn that a watchdog's job is to watch and warn its owners when something doesn't seem right or they may be in danger.

Children also learn that they need to watch our ways and what we say to become good "watchdogs". They are introduced to the Watchdog Motto, Promise, and Official Bible Verse. If they complete "Watch My Ways" training and are able to say the motto, promise, and Bible verse, they will receive an official membership card into the "Watch My Ways' Watchdog Group.

Through this lesson children learn that good watchdogs are good detectors. They can detect noises and smells much better than humans and warn them when danger is near. We need to be good "lie detectors". Lies can sometimes be hard to detect because they come in so many forms such as white lies, exaggeration, breaking a promise, leaving out some of the facts, flattery, etc.

Children practice detecting lies by playing "Detect a Lie" Game. They receive an official "Watchdog Lie Detective" badge when they have completed the game.
