30 Minutes of Fun and Learning- This is to prepare the child for Sabbath School. Each day a new agenda will appear. Use the Program Music for all of these songs.

"Thankful Toss"

Theme: Gratitude
Inspired by: Verse 15–16 – One of them came back, praising God and thanking Jesus.

How to Play:

  • Use a small beanbag or soft ball.

  • Sit in a circle. Each child tosses the ball to another and says one thing they are thankful for (example: “Thank you, Jesus, for my toys!”).

  • Keep going until everyone has had several turns.

Lesson:

Big Idea: Saying “thank you” makes Jesus happy.


Talk Time:
“Only one of the ten men came back to thank Jesus. He remembered how good Jesus was and said, ‘Thank you!’ We can say thank you to Jesus too—every day! When we say thank you, we make Jesus smile. What are you thankful for today?”
