Parent At Home Activity: New Life for Me
Supplies:
construction paper
pencils
crayons
scissors
Make something to help your children remember that if we answer Jesus’ question, “Do you believe this?” as Martha did, we can have new life, too! Martha said she believed that Jesus is the Son of God. If we believe that, too, we can have new life forever with Jesus!
When a butterfly comes out of its cocoon, we could say that it has new life because then it’s beautiful and free. That’s sort of how it’ll be when we get new life in heaven because we believe in Jesus. We’ll be happy and free forever. Let’s make butterflies to remind us that Jesus gives us hope.
Give your child a sheet of colored construction paper and a pencil, and set out the scissors. Help your kids to trace their two hands on the paper in such a way that the fingers are pointing away from one another, with their thumbs aligned. They can color the handprints to look like butterfly wings and then cut them out. Encourage your children to write on their butterflies the name of someone they will tell about new life in Jesus this week.
Use this butterfly to remember that just as a butterfly has new life when it emerges from its cocoon, so will we have new life when we go to heaven. You can make your own butterfly come to life by rolling up your paper with the blank side out. Now unroll it to let your butterfly come out of the cocoon!
In a way, when Lazarus stepped out of the tomb to new life, he was sort of like a butterfly coming out of its cocoon. However, there’s a lot more meaning to this passage. Eventually, Lazarus had to die again, even though the Bible doesn’t tell us about that. But death no doubt was still defeated by Jesus’ power, allowing us all to live forever with Jesus. It is in that power that Jesus gives us hope.
Memory Verse:
John 14:1 “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.”

At the city of Ai did Joshua and the Israelites continue to have self control? Why or why not? No, the Israelites rushed in and ended up running away, they even had some of their soldiers die in that battle.
What is self-control? It is the ability to control ones emotions and actions.
What are some ways you lose your self-control? anger, laziness, manipulation, greediness, gluttony, etc.
Who gives us self control? Self-control comes to us from the Holy Spirit. We must ask him for help with our self-control.
Parent At Home Activity
Play a game together! Body Part Mix Up – Parents call out body parts for your children to touch. For example, call out “knees” and your children touch their knees. Create one rule to start. Each time you says “head” your children should touch their toes instead of their head. This requires your children to stop and think about their actions and to not just react. So if you call out “knees, head, elbow”, your children should touch their knees, TOES and elbow. Continue practicing and adding other rules to change body parts.
Explain that stopping to think before we act is a way we show self control, and then pray with your children asking God to help you each with your self control (use specific examples that they can identify with as you pray.)
Memory Verse:
Galatians 5:22-23 “But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. There is no law against these things!”
The Big Questions:
What is gentleness? Gentleness is being loving, tender, calm, and humble in the things you say and do instead of being harsh or mean.
Who is most important to Jesus? EVERYONE is important—even sick people, even tax collectors, even kids just like you!
How did the disciples react to the kids trying to come to Jesus? They acted like guards, telling people to keep their kids away from Jesus.
How did Jesus react to what He saw happening? He actually got upset —but in a gentle way. Read Mark 10:14-15
Challenge: this week practice reacting with gentleness, instead of being harsh or mean. Share a creative picture of gentleness with us on the Parents of FV Kids Facebook page.
Parent At Home Activity: Gentle Heating
Heat salt, then heat chocolate and melt it to a heart shape. Discussion point: God’s Spirit softens our hearts with His love, helping us be kind and gentle. In this activity, kids will change solids to liquids to learn about the importance of allowing God to shape a gentle attitude in their heart.
You will need solid chocolate, a teaspoon of salt, aluminum foil, scissors, a desk lamp and a stir stick such as a wooden skewer or a drinking straw.
Directions
Cut two squares of tin foil approximately 10 cm wide. Fold the edges up on all sides, pinching the corners to make two small square dishes.
Put some chocolate into one foil dish; put the salt into the other dish.
As the adult supervising the experiment, you need to adjust the lamp until it is about 2 cm above the boxes. Turn the lamp on.
While you are watching and waiting, tell a story about gentleness or review the bible story from FV Kids Online this week. After five minutes, turn the lamp off and put it aside so no one will accidentally get burned.
Use the stir stick to see if there have been any changes in the substances. As you stir the chocolate, mould it into a heart shape. Try to do the same with the salt.
Tell your children that after it has cooled, they can taste your experiment. As the substances cool, read Zechariah 7:11-12, Hebrews 3:7-10 and Luke 6:45.
Prior to sampling the substances, explain to your children that when we refuse to allow God to soften our hearts and put His love in them, we are like the salt that was not changed by God’s Holy Spirit (represented by the lamp). But when we listen to God’s directions in the Bible and allow Him to put His love in our hearts, we are like the chocolate. God softens our hearts with His love, and we are kind and gentle with our words and actions.
Sample the substances, then pray, asking God to send His Holy Spirit to put His love in your hearts and to help you to speak with words that are sweet like the chocolate.

Parent At Home Activity:
Faithfulness Necklace
Supplies: String, Beads
Read Proverbs 3:3 together. “Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.”
Invite your kids to make a necklace of faithfulness with you. With each bead that is strung you can talk about a time that God has been faithful to your family. This is also a great time to talk about what faithfulness is, examples of God’s faithfulness in the Bible, and why it’s so important to be faithful in our relationship with God and other people.

The Big Questions:
What is goodness?
Goodness does not just mean being good, but doing good and pushing others to do good.
God promises believers goodness - does that mean nothing bad will ever happen?
No, but no matter how bad something may seem, God ultimately intends it for our good.
Challenge: Think of ways as a family that you can do good for people in our community this week, make a plan and follow through! Share your goodness with us this week on the Parents of FV Kids facebook page!
Parent At Home Activity:
A fun way to demonstrate the idea of goodness is by making two types of sugar cookies with your child. Make the dough using your favorite recipe or a store-bought mix. Stir a generous amount of salt into a small, separate portion of dough.
Bake the salty and sweet cookies, and put a sample of each on a plate. Ask your child if both types of cookies look good. Can he tell the difference just by looking at them? By tasting them?
Taste the cookies, explaining how the salty ones look good on the outside but don’t taste good because of what’s on the inside. In the same way, we may try to look good by doing all the right things, but if our hearts are not good, we won’t be pleasing to God. Since only God is truly good, He is the “ingredient” that creates true goodness in our hearts.
As you eat the good sugar cookies, ask your child if he can think of situations where he may act more like a salty cookie — appearing good on the outside, but not pleasing God with his heart. Remind your child that we can ask God to give us His goodness, so that we are pleasing to Him.

What are some things that you worry about? (Have an open conversation with your children about what worries them, and be honest about some of the things that worry you. It helps your children to know that they are not alone in their worry)
What can you do when the negative thoughts creep in?
