1. LOOK WHAT GOD MADEBe sure to list the items you will be using today on the “Allergy Alert Poster” and post it at the door to your room.

W H AT Y O U N E E D : “Allergy Alert” Activity Page; cardstock; an opaque box or bag; and several nature items such as: seashell, small stick, leaf, small apple, orange, flower/flower petals, moss, etc.

W H AT Y O U D O :Before the Activity: Copy “Allergy Alert Poster” on cardstock and hang on the door. Place the nature items inside the bag/box.

During the Activity: Gather the children around the bag/box. Pick a child to reach inside the bag and feel the objects. Ask them to guess what the items feel like. After they make their guesses, tell them to pull one item out for everyone to see. Talk about the item and then let another child have a turn. Make sure every child gets a chance to feel inside the bag.

W H AT Y O U S AY:Before the Activity: “We are going to play a game. All you do is reach into the bag/box and guess what is inside without looking at it. Who wants to go first?”

During the Activity: “Reach in. Do you feel something? What does it feel like? Can you guess what it is? Pick one thing from the bag and pull it out so we can all look at it. (Child pulls out one object.) Look what God made! It’s a [flower]! God made the [flowers]. We know God is real because we can look and see all of the [flowers] He made. Thank you, [child’s name]. Now, who wants to go next?” (Continue in this way until all of the children have had a turn. Continue as long as there is interest.)

After the Activity: “God made the whole world and everything in it. But the BEST thing God gave us is a forever friend: JESUS! Jesus wants to be YOUR friend forever! Who wants to be your friend forever? [Bottom Line] Jesus wants to be my friend forever!”
