Mercy for a blind beggar
Children's Activity
Object:
Various Activities
1. Talk about First Aid supplies: Bring in a variety of supplies from a typical First Aid box (Band-Aids, gauze, aspirin, etc.). Let the children discuss them; what they are used for, etc. Then talk about how Jesus can help you feel better when you are sick or hurt. Discuss how Jesus wants us to be well, not sick, just like our parents want us to be well. Use this to start discussing the healing Jesus did.
2. Blind man: Blindfold the children and lead them around the room. Have them try different simple activities, such as turn the lights on, sit in a chair, touch their toes, scratch their nose, tie their shoes, etc., with the blindfolds on. Then take the blindfolds off and do the same activities.
3. Play "pin the bandage on the little girl/boy" with younger children.
4. Play a memory game: For primary ages, take a tray of First Aid supplies and let the children look at them for one minute. Remove several objects and have the children try to tell what is missing.
5. Color pictures: Give preschoolers a large picture of a boy or girl and allow the children to color the pictures. Then give the children Band-Aids, gauze pads, cutouts of casts, crutches, etc., to attach to the picture with glue or tape, as needed.
