Gold Star
With your child, come up with a list of why God created us or reasons why God loves us. Draw large stars on a piece of paper. Let your child color in the stars as you make your list. Cut out the stars and let your child give the stars to friends or family. With each star handed out they should tell that person something from your list. (Alternately, use gold stickers instead!)

Dear Lord, thank You for creating me and loving me and wanting to have a relationship with me. Help me not to worry about making other people happy, but choose to live for You and make You first in my life instead. Amen.

I Approve
Featured
Tape down a line on the floor. Make a list of foods, some your children like and some they don’t like. One side of the tape means they approve of that food; the other side means they don’t like it. Read the list and have your child jump to the side that goes with how they feel about each food. When you’ve finished the list, tell your child that having opinions about food is one thing; but when it comes to people, the approval we should care most about is God’s.
Find
This week’s verse is in the book of Galatians. Help your child find the book of Galatians. Is this book in the Old or New Testament? How many chapters are there?
Shapes
While making different shapes with playdough, read Romans 12:2 and talk with your child about what it means to be shaped to look more like Jesus and shaped to look like the world. Remind your child that one of the biggest ways to look more like God is to care about what He says than what the world thinks.
