Use this easy finger play to teach preschoolers the Gospel message:
God made me (Hands forming something)
God loves me (hands cross over heart)
God wants me to follow Him (walk to the right)
But I want to go my own way (cross arms & walk to the left)
That’s called sin! (Whisper with hand to mouth)
And that’s a problem! (Tap chin)
Because God hates sin! (Mad face)
…but He loves me! (Hug yourself)
But God had a plan! (Finger up)
He gave His only Son, Jesus (hands extended)
To make a way for us (widen hands)
He came as a baby (squat and suck thumb)
And grew into a man (rise to stand-hands on hips)
He died on a cross (arms out-as on a cross)
Was buried (arms crossed-squat)
And rose 1-2-3 days later (rise on 3rd count)
He’s alive! He came to our rescue! (Hands up-celebrate!)
Thank you, Jesus! I’ll follow you! (Kneel-pray)
