More ways to have a great week of worship...

Use these activities to keep talking about and applying what you learned this weekend throughout the week.

1. Sharing the Grain

SUPPLIES: Stuffed animals, snack (like popcorn or goldfish)

Have your child choose eleven stuffed animals, dolls, or action figures to be Joseph’s eleven brothers. Cover a tall cylinder, such as an oatmeal container or a Pringle’s can, so that it looks like a grain silo. Have your child help you fill the silo with a fun snack, like popcorn or goldfish, just like Joseph stored the grain in Egypt. Then have your child pretend to share the snack with his stuffed animals, just like Joseph shared with his brothers.

2. God is in Control

SUPPLIES: None

Talk with your child about different things that make him scared, sad, or mad. As you talk about different situations, have your child make an expression that goes with the scenario such as a frown, thumbs down, or an angry face. Talk about how he can be brave during those situations because God is in control. Create an expression to represent being brave, such as a superman pose, standing tall with fists on your hips. After you talk about a certain hard situation and make a facial expression, remind your child that God is in control of everything and make the brave expression together.

3. Grain Nature Walk

SUPPLIES: Basket or bucket

Head outside for a walk with your child. While on your walk, pick up big leaves of all colors and shapes and place them in a basket or bucket. Once back home, scatter the leaves all over the yard or driveway. Let your child pretend to gather grain by picking up the leaves placing them back in the basket. Talk with your child how God was in control and helped Joseph collect grain to feed the people.
