Coping with unexpected change can be hard, but it’s something we’ve all had to tackle lately. This weeks Bible stories and activities will help kids adjust to change and become more adaptable.
Choose as many or as few as you like, but please let us know what you get up to by posting on social media using #lpcholidayclub2020 or email lpcholidayclub2020@gmail.com. Complete at least one activity to collect your Adaptability picture piece. Where you see*** beside an activity, we can supply the materials, simply drop us an email before Sunday if you would like us to deliver them.

Fun with Food***
Bake some “surprise buns” that have something unexpected in the middle. Life is full of surprises. We should thank God for the gift of life, even when it surprises us.
Science with a Twist
The Art of Enjoying Change
Have fun making some “changeable artwork” using milk. The results are spectacular!
Any where, any time
Help kids learn to view change as an adventure rather than a frightening journey by telling a “choose your own adventure” story
Memory verses and Prayers for kids
Memorising Scripture with your children helps God’s Spirit bring about lasting change. Choose a verse for your children to learn. Reading it over at least once every day helps.
There are also some sample prayers for kids to use to seek God’s help and reassurance.
Singalong Songs
Little ones will enjoy singing along to this selection of songs on YouTube and there are a few for older kids and adults too.
Craft
Work with your kids to make a Feelings Flags Centrepiece that you can use throughout the Adaptability topic and beyond.
Parents Section
Ideas for prayer and for speaking blessings over your children. Simple statements can mean a lot to your child and support them when they are facing hard things.
