This Week's MOPPETS:
BOZ TREEHOUSE
TIME! November Topic: ‘B Nice 2 Each
Other’
* For
Nov. 26th:
If you could bring 2 (or more) empty toilet paper rolls for your
child (Barnyard and older) that would be awesome! *
BOZ Buzz!
The Golden Rule, or being kind to others, is the
next theme for BOZ Treehouse Time! To introduce this
topic, please look for opportunities to model kindness and catch your
child showing kindness. This concept is most easily understood when
the work ‘kind’ is associated with a good deed. For example, you
might say, “You were kind to Skippy when you filled his water
dish.”
Lesson Overview: Just for you!
Young children are concrete thinkers, yet kindness
and thankfulness are abstract concepts. Young children can’t touch,
smell, or taste kindness or thankfulness, but they can learn that
kindness means doing something good for someone else. God is kind to
us. Our thanks to God overflows in the form of being kind to others.
- Memory Verse: Be kind to everyone. (2 Timothy 2:24)
- Biblical Concept: God is kind to us. We can be kind to others.
- Concept in Action: I can be kind.
- Snack: (November 12th): Popcorn balls (Popcorn, salt, sunflower oil, sugar, vinegar, and Lecithin (soy).
- Snack/Craft: (November 26th): Banana ‘bugs’: bananas, shredded carrots, raisins, pretzel sticks.
