Circle Time Activities God Made Me Theme Circle Time Ideas
Circle Time is such a great time for children to learn the social skills of being together as a large group AND to learn more about your theme!
Baby Pictures!
In advance, ask parents to send in a picture of their child as a baby with their name printed on the back.
Attach the pictures to a board.
Bring this board to circle time.
Tell the children: Look how cute you all were! Can you guess who this baby is? Or this one? (point at baby pictures of you and a staff member!). That is me and that is ________(staff member's name)!
God made all of us. He loves us so much. We are all made uniquely--that means each one of us are different--but we are all loved and cared for by God. As a matter of fact, the Bible tells us this. In Proverbs 139:14 (open your Bible in front of the children to this verse), David wrote:
"I am fearfully and wonderfully made". Fearfully does not mean being afraid here...it means with heart felt interest! And wonderfully means with uniqueness. Let's thank God for His love and care!
VARIATION: Rather than stick items, give each child a stuffed animal!
Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes
This is a great activity to go along with this theme!
Jesus Loves Me song
This song has great sign language movements which you can look up online.
