| Snack: Jelly filled chocolates, or surprise muffins with something on the inside. Reinforce the lesson by saying that we could not see what was on the inside of this candy, just like we cannot see on the inside of a person. Only God sees what a person is like on the inside. | |||

If you have Bible costumes, and time permits, you may want the children dress up in them. CD player or radio. How to Do Activity: Start the music. have the children line up on one side of the room. Let them walk across the front of the room (where you are) one by one. Have your assistant stop the music after a minute or two. If you do not have a CD player, let your assistant sing or hum a tune. Whoever is walking across the room when the music stops, gets a prize (sticker or other small prize). Stop and make a big deal out of it, saying, _____ (child's name) you are the one who is picked, just like David! But instead of pouring oil on your head, we are going to give you a sticker instead. Continue until all of the children have been picked. |

Items
Needed:

How
to Do Activity:
|
||
| Small opaque lunch bags or gift bags. |
Prep: Fill enough gift bags for your class size, plus extras to allow for extra children that might join you. Fill all grab bags with the same amount of gifts/candy, but place different kinds of things in each bag. Fill clear plastic bag with less things, and do not add the most valuable things. Activity: Place all the bags on the table. Ask the children which bag they would pick if they had a choice. If any of them pick the clear plastic bag, say, "Well, I'm going to give you each one of these other bags. You can open them when you get them. (Give children time to open them). Now you see that we cannot really know what something looks like on the inside. We could not see on the inside of these bags, so the one that we could see looked better to us. But, we found that the ones we could not see the inside had more stuff in them, didn't they? . So, this tells us that we should not look at how a person looks on the outside. They could be really nice and loving on the inside. We don't really know what is in their heart. Only God does. |
