In our lesson today we learned about Zacharias and Elizabeth. In our story an angel came to Zacharias to tell him he was going to have a baby. Zacharias did not believe the angel so God closed Zacharias' mouth! He couldn't talk any more! If he wanted to communicate he had to write down what he wanted to say or draw pictures. Sure enough, Elizabeth had a baby. Everyone asked them what they would call the baby. Zacharias wrote down "Call the baby John" and as soon as he chose the name God wanted he could speak again!
For our first activity we drew pictures on black paper with chalk. We imagined that we couldn't talk and we communicated with our pictures. We drew pictures of food, drink and bed to say if we were hungry, thirsty or tired!
Our next activity was to do with our names. In our story we learned that John was a special baby because God named him. We had a piecve of paper with our name on it and we coloured it in to make it look special because our names are special too!
We had a special friend in our class today! A little baby named John! We all got to hold John and gently pat his hands and head. We loved out baby friend, just like John from our story!
We practiced our Memory Verse:
"There is one God" Deuteronomy 6:4
Where will the Traveling Train take us next week?!
