PRESCHOOL UNIT 1. THE AMAZING POWER OF JESUS Worship DECORATING TIPS Build a thematic backdrop to create a fun and exciting worship experience for your kids. Use three 4-foot-by-8-foot-by-2-inch insulation boards to create a simple sky backdrop. Paint each board with blue water-based paint. Cut clouds out of cardboard or halfinch insulation boards. Paint white with water-based paint. Attach to backdrop with T-pins or hook and loop strips. Using a jigsaw, cut 2-inch insulation board to form trees and rolling hills. Paint green with a water-base paint. Create pinwheels by using colorful vinyl placmats. To add interest, vary the colors and patterns. Cut the placemat into a square. Once it is square, cut from each corner towards the center stopping just before the center. Do not cut through the center. Fold each corner in towards the center. Fold them one at a time and stack them on top of each other in the center. Using a upholstery tack or small nail with a large head, firmly attach pinwheel to a 1-inch dowel rod. Leaving room between the nail and dowel rod allows the pinwheel to spin. To create a base for dowel rods to stand by drilling 1-inch holes in a 2-foot-by-4-inch board. SIMPLE IDEAS TO ENHANCE YOUR LEARNING SPACE Purchase small pinwheels from your local discount store. Turn a large foam cup upside down and push a pinwheel s handle through the bottom of the cup. Line your stage area with the pinwheels. Create large pinwheels from poster board. (See instructions above. Use a paper brad to secure the corners instead of upholstery tacks.) Tape pinwheels to the wall. Cut poster board into large cloud shapes. Glue batting or cotton balls to cover both sides of the shape. Use fishing line to hang the clouds from the ceiling.

(Motion into the distance and then lay binoculars down.) (Pick up the Bible.) The man was born blind. He had never seen a flower, the sky, a mountain, or even his mom and dad. One day Jesus and His disciples walked by the man. The disciples asked Jesus why the man could not see. Jesus answered that the man was blind so that people could see God s power! Listen to what Jesus did next. (Open Bible and read John 9:6-7a.) After Jesus said these things he spit on the ground, made some mud and spread the mud on the man s eyes. Go, [Jesus] told him, wash in the pool of Siloam. Can you believe that? Jesus made mud and spread it on the man s eyes! The man did what Jesus said. He went to the pool of Siloam and washed the mud off his eyes. Suddenly, the man could see! When the people in town saw the man, they were confused. They said, Isn t that the same man who was blind? Some men said, Yes, he is the one. Others said, No, this man just looks like him. The man told them over and over, I am the one who was blind! Then the man told the people what happened. BIBLE STUDY LEADER (Show Bible Story slide.) (Pick up binoculars.) Do you know what these are? These are binoculars. I can look through my binoculars and see things that are far away. I could see a squirrel playing in a tree, or I could watch a baseball game from waaaaayyyy up in the stands. (Put the binoculars to your eyes and look around with them.)
