Nursery 1 I Am a Child of God
Guest Author - Alice Rienzo


Lesson 1: I Am a Child of God
- is an online version of the lesson located in the Gospel Library Archive. The hardcopy version of this lesson can be found in the Nursery manual, pages 1-3.

Lesson Objective
To help each child understand that we are spirit children of Heavenly Father, who knows us and loves us.

Preparation
  • Small baby doll
  • Baby doll in a basket
  • Burger King Crowns (or similar handmade ones)
  • Blankets
  • Baby Dolls
  • Baskets
  • Red and Orange Tissue Paper
  • Burning Bush Cut Outs

Lesson Idea
Allow the children to play with the dolls during free play.

Once your lesson has begun, sing I am a Child of God.

Explain to the children that we are the spirit children of our Father in Heaven and he loves us very much. He knows each person by name. Go around the room while calling each child out by name and tell him/her that Heavenly Father loves them very much.

While telling the following story, let the children either hold or look at the baby doll in the basket (pretend it is the baby Moses)

Play Hide Baby Moses Game
Allow the children to wear the crowns and pretend that they are the princess who is looking for the baby Moses. Hide the doll in various places in the room, until all children have had a chance to find it. Instead of a doll, you could use a picture.

After the story and game, explain to the children that like Moses, Heavenly Father has important work for us to do and he will help us.
