Talk It Over
The Parable of the Lost Sheep
Hey parents! Use these questions as a guide to talk over this week’s lesson about The Parable of the Lost Sheep with your child after they’ve watched the video service!
- Who was today's Bible story about? Jesus.
- A man had 100 sheep. What sound does a sheep make? Baa.
- Uh-oh. What happened when he lost one of his sheep? He looked and looked all around to find it. Let’s play peek-a-boo! You can pretend to be the sheep and I’ll cover my eyes then find you. Ready? Peek-a-boo sheep!
- How did the man feel when he finally found the lost sheep? He was happy! He asked everyone to come celebrate. Let’s jump and clap our hands and celebrate, too.
- Take some time to pray with your toddler. Encourage your toddler to sit with you and fold their hands, saying something like: God, thank you for loving us. Thank you for making us. Thank you for wanting to be our friend. Thank you that you will take care of us. We love you! Amen!
Hey parents! Here's something for you to be encouraged by and get ideas to bring this Bible story into your everyday conversation with your child at home!
DownloadIn this craft, your toddler will make an I-Spy bag filled with hidden items from the Bible story. As they look for the items in their bag, they will be reminded that the shepherd looked for the sheep. He loved the sheep, and God loves us!
DownloadIn this activity, your toddler will have fun as they find all of the sheep like the shepherd found his lost sheep in our Bible story. The shepherd loved his sheep, and God loves us!
DownloadWe have a variety of coloring pages to help your child remember familiar faces from this month’s lesson!
