The Parable Of The Lost Sheep
Hey parents! Use these questions as a guide to talk over this week’s lesson about The Parable of the Lost Sheep with your child after they’ve listened to the episode!
- Who was today's Bible story about?
Jesus. - A man had 100 sheep. What sound does a sheep make?
Baa. - Uh-oh. What happened when he lost one of his sheep?
He looked and looked all around to find it. Let’s play peek-a-boo! You can pretend to be the sheep and I’ll cover my eyes then find you. Ready? Peek-a-boo sheep! - How did the man feel when he finally found the lost sheep?
He was happy! He asked everyone to come celebrate. Let’s jump and clap our hands and celebrate, too. - Take some time to pray with your toddler. Encourage your toddler to sit with you and fold their hands, saying something like:
God, thank you for loving us. Thank you for making us. Thank you for wanting to be our friend. Thank you that you will take care of us. We love you! Amen!
