Nearness Prayers
Nearness prayers
Give each child a pencil or crayon and a sheet of paper. Invite eveyone to close their eyes and think of a time when they have felt God very near to them. Suggest that each child ask God to help them to remember one of these times. The leader should not give any specific suggestions of when anyone may have felt near to God.
Now, on your piece of paper, see if you can draw or write something to illustrate or describe that special time.
When everyone is finished, invite those who would like to share what they have written or drawn, or talk about their time of feeling near to God. You will find that once one child has shared, it becomes easier for others.
Finish by praying together thanking God for being close and asking Him to be with them during this coming week.
Read Psalm 139:1-12

Top Tips on Learning With Children
Top Tips on Learning with Children
1. Get passionate about the Bible yourself.
2. Explore the Bible as one big story that has many little stories included in it.
3. Arouse children’s curiosity in our mysterious, awesome and complex God.
4. Avoid trying to feed children simple, ‘pat’ answers about God.
5. Choose a range of activities that use different intelligences.
6. Organise a variety of activities, but make sure they all point in the
same direction to the same truth.
7. Use learning dynamics other than just the leader or teacher talking to a group.
8. Encourage children to ask their honest questions of God.

Daniel-An Awesome Bible Story About an Unlkely Hero
3 Big Lions
(Sung to the tune of " 5 Little ducks went out one day")
Choose three children or adults to hold up either lion masks or lion puppets. (We used one lion puppet and two other animal puppets representing lions). Get each "lion" to roar loudly. You might like to get the audience to vote on which "lion" is the loudest or fiercest...
The leader sings the song and at the end of each verse the "lions" at the front roar loudly.
3 BIG LIONS
3 big lions went out one day
Into their den they went to play
King's servants came and shut the door
3 big lions turned and roared.
(ROAR!)
3 big lions went out one day
Into their den they went to play
Feeling hungry, wanting more
3 big lions turned and roared.
(ROAR!)
3 big lions went out one day
Who's dropped in?
It's take-away!
Ready now to munch and crunch
3 big lions see human lunch.
(ROAR!)
3 big lions open wide
This Daniel guy's not trying to hide
A great big angel's on the floor
Now 3 big lions snore, snore, snore.
(SNORE!)
Daniel's safe, King's set him free
God's care for Dan is history
The 3 big lions still get a treat
As 3 bad guys drop at their feet.
(ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!)
