Games and Activities
Soft and Hard (in Water)
Gather a selection of objects. First
ask your child to sort the objects
between hard and soft.
Next fill a bowl with water and see
which objects soak up the water.
Talk about how God wants our
hearts to be soft so that we can
soak up the things God wants us
to learn from Him.

Musical lilly-pads
Gather cardboard, paper, or tape to make
“lily pads.” Like musical islands, the child
jumps around like a frog when the music
plays. When the music stops, they must
get onto a lily pad.

Light out - Guess the object


Turn out all the lights in a room so
it is as dark as possible.
Pass some objects to your child
and ask them to guess what they
are holding.
Ask your child to imagine what it
would have been like in Egypt in
complete darkness.
