Have the kids sit on the floor around
you. Have your bag of props with you.

- Pull out a big ear & put it on yourself. Can I hear better? Let's see. Pull out big ears (even copies on a craft stick) for each of them. Have them put it up to their ears. Can you hear me if I talk like this (whisper)? What about like this (loudly)? What about like this (sing)?What do you use your ears for? Use your ears to listen to God, parents & teachers. Are you suppose to listen to strangers? NO! (cover your ears -they will do the same)
- Let's use our ears to listen to the story. Pull out the Bible or a Noah's Ark book. Read them the story. Say different animals Noah put into the ark. After each animal say “and the ___________ says __________.” example: and the cow says (kids say moo here).
- Did Noah listen to God? How? How can you listen?
- Pull small toy animals out of your bag. Ask what it is. What sound does it make? Give to a child. Repeat until at least every child has 1-3 animals. Have them put them back into the bag.
- Pull out a kaleidoscope. Have them each look in it and tell what colors they see. Talk about the rainbow & colors in it. When do they see a rainbow? Why? What was God's promise?
