God Is All-Powerful
Idea For A Hard To Control Class With Differing Ages And Abilities
.Work, one on one - while others and helper play in the toy area.
.Rotate until all of them get their craft completed.
.Teach as you do the craft.
Preschool Lesson: - Can be adjusted for older children.
Toddlers are a joy to teach but somedays it becomes stressful. Expessailly if they are having a bad day. Teaching toddlers can be a difficult task because they have a short
attention span. If you get one idea into
their brain, you're doing good. Moving
quickly from one activity to another helps keep their attention. If they come in tired, unrested or hungry, it’s
harder to teach them. I try to keep
things as positive as possible.
Review
question games are essential in there learning.
They love stickers as a reward or a small prize. Snacks are important because if one of them gets hungry they may cry the whole time.
Following a Schedule keeps the class moving along.
Some of the children will do better than others. You’ll have some children who are being mean,
fighting over toys, or looking how to get into anything else other than what
you want them to. Then you may have one
who is constantly wanting his mommy or daddy. There Is never a dull moment
with them. They keep you and your helpers busy the whole
time. The room may look like a tornado hit it after it’s all over.
Teach as these things happen, the whole class learns when you correct the child who's being mean or the one who's getting into things. Teach cooperation and obedience.
Clean up time can be fun if you plan ahead, but if the church service takes longer to dismiss you may be cleaning up after class.

To try is Important.
( Try to keep the schedule
If it's not working just do the best you can.)
1 Quiet Seat Award - End of Class.
A quiet seat can only be won two weeks in a row by the same child.
The attention span for each child is different. So give other children a chance.
2nd place awards.
Put their things in a lunch bag and tell them not to open it until they get home.
This keeps fighting over things from happening.

God is not pretend...
There are many Super Hero stories that are make-believe.
They are not real they are pretend.
But God is real.
He is mightier than the mighty.
Psalms 147:5
Great is our Lord, and of
great power: his understanding is infinite.
To explain the verse we could say:
God knows everything. He understands and has power over all things.
God has given us choices and consequences in life. When we ask Him and trust Him he guides our lives.
The song "Trust and Obey" is an excellent Hymn to teach children.

My personal story
One of the reasons I chose chicken's as an
example of understanding God and how powerful He is...
When I was a young girl I remember our dad bringing
my sister and myself to the feed store, which was in
another small town very close to ours.
I saw for the first time an incubator that
looked more like a fish tank.
It had a lightbulb in the upper right corner.
The baby chicks were hatching out of their eggs.
While I watched them, my understanding was
opened to the thought of God watching over us.
I compared in my heart that the lightbulb was like the Sun.
I was looking over them with love. They were so cute.
I said to myself, That's how God looks over us, with love.
The bible says God thinks about us and wants what's best for us.
-----
Another Time:
I was out walking along with my grandmother.
I saw how beautiful and wide the sky looked. Maybe my grandmother pointed it out to me. (I do not remember that part.) Though I had looked at the sky
before, it was the first time I thought of God on my own.
I said to myself. There must be a God because no person can make that.
God revealed to me as a small child, that He was powerful.
God shows himself powerful through
nature and our atmosphere. Even to young children like each one of you.
Preparing Your Craft
>Make copies of the memory verse craft papers. (all enough for your class)
>Make a few copies of the grouped small pictures on a regular paper.
>Cut the pictures out ahead of time. 2 and 1/2 square
Supplies
glue
stickers
crayons
---------
Ask them what reminds them that God is powerful.
You might hear answers like:
(God made everything)
Have each child choose one of the pictures to paste onto their craft.
Color and decorate with stickers
My goal is to prepare video clips of animals and space to help them remember
how powerful God really is.
God shows himself great through nature, His Word, prayer
and His dealings with people.
Bible Story: Jesus Calms The Storm
Something great was about to happen. Thousands and thousands of people
wanted to hear Jesus preach.
Wow! There were so many people there, a huge multitude
gathered together. Have you ever seen a
huge crowd of people? (Wait for an answer.)
I have seen them at ball games. I’ve
seen them gather together for special events. They all gathered
to hear Jesus speak, but the crowd grew so large that Jesus got on board the ship that was just off the shore. Jesus taught many things. I'm sure He spoke to them for a long period of time. When He finished teaching them. Jesus said, " Let us pass over unto the other side." There were other small ships with him. They all had people on them. They all went to pass over to the other side.
Jesus became very tired. Jesus had to speak very loudly for the huge crowd to hear him.
They didn't have microphones or amplifiers like they do today. It probably looked as though he were yelling. While they were moving to the other side, Jesus became tired. He found a pillow and laid down to take a nap.
While Jesus was sleeping, a storm started stirring. The winds were whipping and slamming into the sides of the ships. Fear filled the heart of people and the boat was filled with water. They thought they were going to die. Jesus was still sleeping. "They found him and awoke him. They couldn't believe he was sleeping. " How could you be sleeping do you not care that we could die? " they tearfully asked.
Then Jesus did an amazing thing. He stood up and commanded the wind to stop. He spoke to the waves to be peaceful. He called out. Peace, Be still! Both the wind and the waves heard his voice. Guess What? They obeyed Him.
Then Jesus looked at the people and asked them. " Why are you afraid?" Where is your faith?
The people became fearful because they witnessed the great power of God.
They feared to know that the wind and the sea could hear and obey Jesus. No one can do that. Only Jesus has that kind of power.
Boys and Girls, we need to obey the Lord Jesus and believe that He can be a helper in all our storms.
Life is sometimes hard, sometimes it's sad, sometimes it's scary. Jesus is our helper, it may seem that sometimes, He's not there, it may seem like He's sleeping.
Jesus wants you to trust Him. He wants you to believe and trust Him with your life.
Jesus loves you very much. He knows everything about you. He knows everything about all of us.
He wants you to think about Him and wants you to love Him.
Mark 4:35 - 41
And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
