With very young children
This week's activity helps us to explore the commandment to love
You will need: small paper hearts; (see template here), sequins and sparkles, glue sticks; a large sheet of paper with the word ‘God’ in a large decorated heart in the centre.
Share this simple paraphrase and actions.
Jesus said: ‘Love God (point up)
and love each other.’ (gesture round the room)
Repeat so the children can join in.
Invite the children to decorate the paper hearts and help them to write their names and the names of people they know on the hearts. Stick the hearts around the ‘God’ heart on the large sheet of paper. You could end by reading all the names.
