Stories Of The Bible Junior - A Saddleback Kids Podcast

What does it mean to be a good neighbor? Find out in today's episode! Jesus tells the story of the Good Samaritan, let's find out what that even means!
GOOD SAMARITAN
Hey parents! Use these questions as a guide to talk over this week’s lesson, Good Samaritan, with your child after they’ve listened to the story!
  1. Jesus told a story. Who was today’s Bible story about?
    A Samaritan man.
  2. A Jewish man was hurt – he had lots of owies. A Samaritan man came. He helped the Jewish man. Let’s say, Hooray for the Samaritan man. It is good to help people when they are hurt.
  3. God made people because he loves everyone. Can you point to someone God made?
    Help your child point to you and to themselves!
  4. Jesus is happy when we help someone and we can be happy, too. Show me your happiest happy face.
  5. Take some time to pray with your toddler. Encourage them to sit with you and fold their hands, saying something like:
    “God, thank you for making us. Thank you for loving us. Thank you for wanting to be our friend. Help us to help people just like the Good Samaritan. We love you! Amen.”
