Do you see any other places with the number one in them? Color all the places you see the number one. (Pause.) Put the lid back on that marker and put it down. (Continue with the other two colors.)

You are so important to God that He sent His Son, Jesus, to show us how to live and be our friend forever. I’m so glad we’re important to God and that He made each of us wonderful. Who made you wonderful? [Bottom Line] God made me wonderful.

(Place basket in front of the children.) Look! It’s a donkey head. We can put the baby doll inside, like this. (Put the baby doll in the basket.) When I say your name, you can push the donkey. (Say each child’s name and let them push the donkey a little.) The Samaritan man took the hurt man to a place where he could rest and get all better. He even paid for it! Let’s take all of the bandages off the baby doll because the boo-boos are all better! Yay! (Repeat the activity if time and interest allow.)
