This month kindergartners will hear Bible stories, sing songs, recall Bible verses, and participate in activities to discover that

they can learn from the Bible. Boys and girls will be given opportunities to develop skills to help them use the Bible to learn about God and Jesus. It is important for children to understand that the stories in the Bible are

true and to learn that the Bible contains God’s words.

Josiah, a king of Judah, came to the throne near 640 B.C. Beginning his reign at 8, he ruled Judah for 31 years. Read 2 Kings 22:1-7. Josiah might have known of former King Joash’s plan for refurbishing the

temple (2 Kings 12:4-16), and decided to follow through on the temple restoration project. Shaphan, the king’s scribe and treasurer, and Hilkiah, the high priest, oversaw the funds needed for the carpenters, builders, and brick masons to complete repairs. Read 2 Kings 22:8-13. Hilkiah and his workers discovered the Book of the Law. Some Bible teachers think the scroll was the Pentateuch,

the first five books of the Bible. Others identify the scroll as the single Book of Deuteronomy. Whatever its content, this scroll contained admonitions from God and God had preserved His Word. Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan. Shaphan read it and took it to the king. When Josiah heard the words of the scroll, how did he respond? The Bible had spoken to the young king, stirred his spirit, and prompted him to repentance. Read 2 Kings 22:14-20. Huldah informed Josiah’s representatives that the words of God’s judgment would come to pass. God’s people, stated Huldah, had abandoned their covenant with Him and had sought idols. God’s approaching judgment would not be stopped. However, God would spare Josiah from the coming calamity because the king’s heart was right toward God. Read 2 Kings 23:1-3. Josiah assembled religious leaders. The people living in Jerusalem were also summoned to the Temple. The words of the book were read to everyone. Standing before the people, Josiah pledged to follow the Lord, obey His commands, and serve God with all his heart. The people responded by making a recommitment to obey God’s covenant. We must do more than say we believe the Bible. We must also obey it and do what it requires. Ask God to show you how you need to renew your faith commitment with Him.

Make RepairsProvide toy tools, sandpaper, and blocks. Invite kindergartners to build a structure and then make repairs. As children work, tell the Bible story.

Encourage kindergartners to work together to put away materials and gather for group time. Play “Come and Hear My Story” (track 2) while children clean up the room.

Using PuzzlesAs you use puzzles in your classroom, consider the following tips:

➜ Place all pieces on the left. This trains a child to move her eyes and

hands from left to right as she completes the puzzle and develops a

valuable reading skill.

➜ Use the pieces in the block center. Puzzles that include people figures

can double as stand-up figures in the block center.

➜ Consider math opportunities. Ask: “How many pieces are in this puzzle?

How many pieces do we have left to complete the puzzle?”

➜ Solve the missing piece problem. When a piece is missing, cut craft foam

to fit the shape of the missing piece. Glue this into place on the puzzle

board. Store puzzles in large ziplock bags to help keep pieces together.

>>  KiD ConneCtionSay: “You looked at some of the materials the

workers may have used to repair the temple. Is this

Bible story true?” (Yes. All stories in the Bible are true.)

Engage children in Group Time.

Tell the Bible story. Open your Bible to 2 Kings. Ask children to tell about a time when they found something that was lost. Show the Bible word card and talk about its meaning. Say: “In this story, King Josiah found something that had been lost.” Tell the Bible story.

Josiah (joh sIGh uh) was 8 years old when he became king. he loved God and wanted to obey him. The kings who lived before Josiah did not love God. They had not taken care of the temple. It was dirty and the walls and floors were crumbling. when he was older, King Josiah sent his helper, shaphan (shay fan), to see the priest, hilkiah (hil KIGh uh). shaphan told hilkiah, “Count the money the people have brought to the temple. Give it to builders and carpenters so that they can clean and repair the temple.” The men worked to clean the temple. They repaired parts of the temple that were broken. The workers found a Bible scroll that had been lost for a long time. hilkiah said, “we’ve found this Bible scroll.” he handed the scroll to shaphan. shaphan read the scroll. Then he took it to King Josiah. shaphan said, “The men were working in the temple. This lost scroll was found in the temple.” shaphan read some of the Bible scroll to the king. when King Josiah heard the words from the Bible scroll, he was sad and upset. “The words of this Bible scroll tell us what God wants us to do,” Josiah said. “we have not been doing these things. we have not been obeying God.”

Bible Story

Josiah gathered the people at the temple. The people listened to the words from the Bible scroll. King Josiah said, “I will do what the words of the Bible scroll say to do. I promise to obey God’s rules and laws.” all of the people promised they would obey God, too. They would do what the Bible said to do.

Recall the story. Guide boys and girls to recall the Bible story as they look at the teaching picture. Ask kindergartners to stand when you say something that is true and sit when you say something that is not true. Say simple statements such as “Josiah was a king. The temple was brand new and did not need any repairs. The men found a lost shoe. Men worked to repair the temple. The men found a lost scroll.”

Pray. Thank God for the Bible and all of its true stories.

Make life application. Point to your Bible and say: “The Bible is a book of stories that are true. It tells us about God and is unlike any other book.”

The BibleKindergartners will discover that the Bible

is a book of true stories and unlike any

other book. They will learn that it contains

God’s words. From the Bible, they will

discover that they can find stories about

Jesus and learn about God.

Tip: Everyone’s BibleHelp the children realize the Bible is not just

a book for adults; it is a book for everyone.

Provide opportunities for children to

explore the Bible by looking at pictures and

finding words and verses.

Sing and Search the BibleGive each child a Bible. Talk about the difference between the New and Old

Testament. Encourage them to explore the Bible while singing: (tune: “Mary

Had a Little Lamb”)

“ Take a look in the New Testament, New Testament,

New Testament.

Take a look in the New Testament.

Tell us what you found.”

(Substitute “New Testament” for “Old Testament.”)

Kids and MissionsMy name is Abigail, but my friends call me

Abby. I have a younger sister named Chloe and

a dog named Saci (shot-see). When I grow up, I

want to be an animal rescuer. I think that I will

own a dog kennel so I can help dogs find good

homes.

My family lives in Budapest, Hungary.

My parents are missionaries. My dad learns

about different groups of people and figures

out which groups have never heard about

Jesus. My mom teaches English at church and

works with Hungarian women to help them

learn about the Bible.

Please pray for my family as we learn how

to speak a different language.

To learn more about International Mission Board missionaries, visit www.imb.org.

Read Books About the BibleGather several books about the Bible. Include several

Bibles among the books. As children select and read the

books, comment: “The Bible is a special book. It is a book

of true stories that is unlike any other book.”

scroll, and tape the edge to hold it together. Collect and redistribute the scrolls. Tell the children

to sit in a circle. While playing upbeat music, announce

directions related to how they should pass the scrolls

such as pass it slowly, pass it to the child next to you,

switch seats and scrolls with a friend, pass it quickly,

pass it to the child across from you, and freeze. Stop the

music. Say: “If you received the scroll with your name

on it, stand up and say, ‘I found my lost scroll.’ ”

Five little Bibles, on a shelf by the door,

I gave one to my friend; now there are four.

Four red Bibles, filled with pictures you can see,

I gave one to my sister; now there are three.

Three little Bibles, all brand new,

I gave one to my neighbor; now there are two.

Two red Bibles, with stories about God’s Son,

I’ll give one to a friend. I’ll keep the last one.

Create a PostcardGive each child a large, unlined index

card. Provide markers, crayons, and

pencils for kindergartners to make a

picture for a friend on one side. Offer

to print the Bible verse on each child’s

card. Print the name of the friend the

card is for. Send home the cards with the

children. Say: “You can give this card to

your friend, or your mom can help you

address and mail it.” Mention that Paul

wrote God’s words in the Bible.

Practice Listening SkillsGuide kindergartners to sit in a semicircle around you. Give

one direction at a time. Allow time for the children to respond

to your instructions. Let them know that you will only say each

instruction one time. Instructions may include:

• blink your eyes five times

• clap your hands three times

• pat your head two times

• jump up and down

• sit with your legs crossed

• stomp your feet six times

• pass the teaching picture around the circle
