As Kids Arrive
10 mins / Welcoming Kids / Arrival of students

As Kids Wait for Class to Start…
Use available puzzles and books to engage kids while they wait for the others to arrive. Team Teachers sit with kids to build rapport and establish a feeling of ease (especially for newcomers)
Teacher may also introduce other activities. It is suggested that we minimize the use of coloring worksheets as this has become a routine. Kids enjoy variety and using the same method everytime may no longer have its initial impact. / Superbook Theme Song

15mins / Run to God, don’t hide. / Ask the children if they could remember an instance that they disobeyed or any bad things they did. Encourage the children to share about it. Then, ask them what they did about it. Did they say sorry to mom/dad? Did they say sorry to God?
Sin brings guilt and shame and it makes us want to hide from God. That’s what the enemy wants. When we sin our first response should be to humble ourselves before God by admitting we have sinned against Him and ask for forgiveness. We should run to God and not hide from Him
This is our confidence when we run to God. Our Power Verse says…
“The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving even though we have rebelled against him.” (Daniel 9:9)
Just like what our Power Truth says…
“God loves me because I am His child, even when I disobey Him.”
God loves us not just because we obey Him; He loves us because we are His children. The love of God for you and me is not dependent on our obedience to Him. / On-chairs; I-shape set-up
