Worship
Kids LOVE singing and yes, some do more than others but I’ve got a really BIG TIP for you parents out there… kids will follow you… What does that mean? Well, when you put on the Praise and Worship, do it with them. Go a LOT crazy and they will go a LITTLE crazy. If you want them to lift their hands, then show them how, talk about it with them. If you want them to sing, then I’m sorry, but chances are you’ll need to sing too! If you are the practical type, maybe make some streamers or ribbons to wave around. Or perhaps you have some bright scarves hiding in the cupboard or bright rags! Feel free to be creative with this.

REMEMBERING – whats the meaning of Passover
POINT TO REMEMBER/CONSIDER:
Even the Israelites did things to remember. They understood that it was important to remember what God had done for them and they passed on those memories to their children and those children passed it on to their children etc. Even so they were still remembering when Jesus ate at the Last Supper.

WORSHIP
Kids LOVE singing and yes, some do more than others but I’ve got a really BIG TIP for you parents out there… kids will follow you… What does that mean? Well, when you put on the Praise and Worship, do it with them. Go a LOT crazy and they will go a LITTLE crazy. If you want them to lift their hands, then show them how, talk about it with them. If you want them to sing, then I’m sorry, but chances are you’ll need to sing too! If you are the practical type, maybe make some streamers or ribbons to wave around. Or perhaps you have some bright scarves hiding in the cupboard or bright rags! Feel free to be creative with this. Children mirror us, so what are you mirroring to your kids?
BIBLE STORIES
Please check out the Bible Story’s before your kids… “Why?” you might ask… Because some stories can have sad elements (eg. Noah’s Ark, Easter) cause distress for some children. We try and source stories that are age appropriate. With our Bible Stories, there is always a positive learning element. We would recommend that you watch the story set for your child’s age and if you think it’s too young, go and check out what an older class is covering. Again, if it’s too advanced for your child, choose a younger class.
We recommend parents engage with their children as they watch these Bible stories in case they have questions. Please note: some Bible Stories look the same, but they are not, BUT they have been made by the same YouTube channel.
VALUABLE
We like our children to be inspired, encouraged and lets face it, if it helps them, it helps us! Your children are important to us and they SUPER important to God. We have put together this webpage so your children know that they are important, loved and that we have taken the time to invest in them!
They are VALUEABLE! We want them to feel: loved, joyful, inspired, excited, and equipped spiritually. Life is unpredictable, but God is sure and secure, we can always rely on Him.
FEELING HEARD?
We want to encourage our families to bring God into the conversations that we are having with our children. How are we feeling? What are we thinking? Can we share what we are thinking with Mum & Dad? We want our children feel safe when they share with us. So how do we do that? We listen and don’t react, but thoughtful process with the Holy Spirit how we can offer wise council to them. Maybe they just need us to listen… God sees us and our children, He wants us to share with Him and feel safe with Him.
SUPERVISING…!
PLEASE NOTE: that after watching our video links, youTube will pop up with suggestions for you to watch. We advise, having an adult in the room while your child watches these videos as we don’t know what content might show after our videos.
Also, we recommend an adult taking part in the activities. Especially with the younger children as they won’t be able to participate in the activities unless an adult helps them.
TIPS FOR COVID-19
Here is a letter that that we put together that you can download that is very practical about how you can help your kids.
