Bible Story: Daniel Chose God’s Way

Some people say: Do what makes you happy

God says: My plan for you is even better..

Worship & Illustrated Sermon

Day 2 Lesson

CRAFT: SUNCATCHER KITE

At Breaker Rock Beach, you may see dozens of beautiful kites flying in the wind! The kites we’re making won’t fly, but they will catch the sun in your window and cast pretty colors all around the room. When you see those colors, look at your kite and remember what we learned in our Bible story today. Others may have a plan that sounds easier or better, but God’s plan is always best!

Variation - For a small group, the parent/teacher can be the lighthouse and you can use small soft objects to be the rocks. If you don’t want to do blindfolds and you have enough kids, you can eliminate the rocks and let some kids be “currents” that are trying to catch kids and drag them away from the lighthouse; if you’re caught by a current you are out.

Bible/Life Application Debrief: Explain that life is full of things that want to pull us away from God or wreck us and often those things look like the easier or more fun way, but God’s plan is best for us no matter what.
