Bible Lesson
Interactive Storytelling
Have each child create a house out
of Lego. Tell some children
they have built on the rock and
others on the sand. As you
tell the story, have each child
act it out the part of building.
When you discuss the part of the
story about the house built on
sand, allow those who have built
on sand to know their house down.
Games
- Guess How Many Legos are in
the Jar.
- Drop the Lego in the bottle
(like drop the clothespin in the
bottle or jar)
- Time the kids to see who could
build the highest Lego tower in 5
minutes.
- Lego Spoon Race where each
child had a Lego on a spoon and
had to make it to the finish line
without the Lego falling off.
- Unwrap the Lego." wrap a small
Lego set in many layers of
different wrapping paper and the
children passed it around and take
turns unwrapping the parcel.
- Use Music, while playing
Children pass parcel around in a
circle, when music stops the child
holding the parcel can unwrap,
when music starts continue
passing.
- Guess What I Built: make
simple picture &/or word cards
(house, car, robot, etc.) & drop
into a hat or box. Let each
child pick out a card and tell
them not to show it to anyone
else. Then each person
builds what is on their card.
The others try to guess what each
creation is.
- Timed Building Game: choose
one thing to build from the
above-mentioned cards. Everyone
has 5 minutes to build that item.
Judge the results and award prizes
for fastest builder, largest
creation, most detailed, most
colorful, etc., (so that everyone
gets a prize for something.)
- Pin the LEGO on the...LEGO.
Create a landscape with an
integral piece missing, such as a
boat's deep-sea diver or a
castle's flag, and, with eyes
closed, place the piece as near as
possible to the correct place.
Decorations
For decorations use primary color
plates, napkins, and balloons.
Make lego blocks out of
construction paper and place on
walls.
Snacks
Ice Cream and LEGO cake
(rectangle with 6 cupcakes-frosted
bright blue) or iced the same
color (primary color). |
