What We Are Learning In Preschool :: November Week 3
November Overview: This month, preschoolers will learn God is generous and gives us good things because He loves us. He teaches us we can be generous too by sharing what we have with others. Whether it’s our money, food, help, or things, we can share what God has given us to do good and care for others.
Bible Story: The Feeding Of The 5,000 (John 6:1-14)
Main Point: I can share my food.
Memory Verse: “Do not forget to do good and to share with others.” Hebrews 13:16
As a family, read the Bible story together. Then, watch this week’s lesson video on the eKidz Online YouTube page to continue the conversation.
This week, children learned a huge crowd of people came to see Jesus, and they were hungry. A boy had five loaves of bread and two fish, and he shared his food. Jesus used what the boy shared to feed everyone! Sharing what we have is one way we can care for others, and we can be generous by sharing our food too.
💬 Family discussion questions:
What happened in today’s Bible story?
What food did the boy have? What did he choose to do with it?
Who is someone you could share your food with?
🕰 Engage in everyday moments together this week:
When You Get Up: Ask, “Who could you share with today?” Talk about a friend, sibling, or someone else your child might have an opportunity to share with.
While You’re At Home: At snack or mealtime, give your child an opportunity to practice sharing. Ask, “Is there something on your plate you could share with someone else?”
As You’re On The Way: Play “Would You Share It?” Name favorite foods like pizza, cookies, fruit, or a sandwich, and have your child choose who they would like to share each one with.
When You Lie Down: Ask, “Did you share anything today? Who did you share with?” Thank God together for giving your family food, and ask Him to help you notice opportunities to share with others.
