Reply to "Samuel Lesson Ideas (Not Complete Lesson Plans)"

Cooking:

 

Made sandwiches out of sourdough bread -Hannah visiting Samuel each year and bringing him a "care package").


 

Games:

 

Ways to listen to God (bible, sermons, older Christians) - games involving listening:

  • T or F game: Read the story of Samuel getting the call from God. (1 Samuel 3:1-21) Give each child a T and F sheet. Ask questions about the story. Have them lift the card for the answer they think is correct. Give them the answer.
  • Toothpick game - Have students gather in pairs. Each pair sits back to back on the floor. They are each given 5-6 toothpicks. Have the person who's birthday is closest to New Year's Day begin by placing a toothpick on the floor. They have to tell the person behind them how to place their toothpick. So they would say something like "place your toothpick so that the point faces your knees (if they know vertical/horizontal - those are good words also). This needs to be done with all the toothpicks.
  • Review the focus verse by having you say it through only once. Can they repeat it? Say it again. Can they repeat it? How many times do you have to say it before they can repeat it correctly?
  • Play a Simon Says game using the name Samuel instead of Simon.
  • Have a variety of small "noisy" items such as a coin, pinecone, pencil etc. and a large, metal can or bowl. Turn your back to the children and drop an item in the can. See if they can identify the item. Continue with all your items.
  • Using the sound effects CD's, ask the children to listen carefully and identify the sounds.

Video:

  • Jacob’s Ladder DVD, Episode 7 - Samuel's Destiny Part 2, Vision Video.  This is a drama and for use with pre-teens & youth.  Vision video provides a free downloadable study guide.
