Teaching the Scripture Psalm 149:3 BIG IDEA: God uses our unique expressions of praise, thanksgiving, repentance, and devotion to be creative for His glory. SCRIPTURE: Psalm 149:3 “Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with tambourine and harp.” PROPS: Tambourines, picture of harp LESSON: Teacher: Begin clapping your hands 1, 2, 3, 4. Continue doing this until the kids begin to join you. Next say, listen very carefully and demonstrate what I do. Now clap twice 1, 2 slow and the 3, 4, 5 faster. Repeat again after they have followed your pattern. Now reverse and try 1, 2, 3 faster and 4, 5, slower. Next try, 1, 2 slow and 4, 5, 6, 7 faster. Now try, 1, 2 slow and 3, 4 faster. Now le t’s do something different. Watch and follow me. Clap 1, 2, and stomp foot 3, 4. Now stomp right foot slow 1, 2, and left foot faster, 3, 4, 5. Say: Let’s look at our verse for today. (Display on the dry erase board or Power Point). God has given us many instruments to use to praise Him. He uses them to glorify God and help us celebrate in honor of what Jesus Christ has done for us. God is please when we praise King Jesus. If you will put your finger in the middle of your Bible and open it, you should see Psalm. If not, it will be real close. Psalm is in the middle of our Bible. There are 150 Psalms in the Book of Psalm. It is a book of delight and praise to God. We are blessed to have this book included in our Bible.
