JAM Kids! April 8, 2015

Spring has arrived!

 

 

 

April JAM Kids

 While waiting for everyone to arrive, 

we used colored pencils to enhance "God's Garden."

And then we planted lettuce!

  These seedlings are 5 days old.

 If you do not have a space to put the seedlings into the ground, 

they can be transplanted into a larger pot.  

Our "Animal of the Month"

The Donkey!

As we add animals to our Peaceable Kingdom, 

we come to the donkey!

Donkeys are healthy, hardy animals.   

They often live for 25 or more years.

Donkeys can be used just like horses under saddle 

and in harness, although donkeys are more laid back in nature. 

They prefer to do what is good for the donkey, 

which is not always what the human thinks is best

 (especially when it comes to getting their feet wet.)

Our story today was told from the perspective of a donkey.

This was the foal that carried Jesus into Jerusalem.

 

Scripture Search

 

Reading the scriptures aloud. 

Fill in the words.

Matthew 21: 2 and 5
   "Go into the village over there,"
    he said, "and you will see a 
     ___________________ tied there,
   with its _____________ beside it.   
    Untie them and bring them here….   
    Tell the people of Israel, 'Look,
    your ___________ is coming to you. 
    He is ______________, riding on a 
     donkey, even on a donkey's colt.'"

Our food blessing included prayers for friends who were sick.

Dinner Theater! 

Music and sharing during dinner.

Thanks for sharing, and

thanks for being a good audience.

DONKEY Games in the Gym

 Pin the tail on the donkey.

 Our donkeys are ready for tails.

 Ivan's tail is in the right spot.

 Donkeys are often beasts of burden.

 How much can one donkey carry?

 Hurry, donkey, hurry!

Time to Sing and Say "Good Night."

 Love is the flag that flies!

"Humble Yourself before the Lord

and He will lift you up."
