Bonus Activities for God is Love
The Bonus Activities contain all the activities, puzzles, games, words, and pictures to go along with the study of each attribute of God.
Although we have divided some of the activities into age brackets, some may be more challenging than others. Each parent or mentor may choose what activity will suit their children the best.
It is our hope and prayer that each attribute of God will be reinforced with these activities so that your children may Discover WHO God REALLY is...And WHY it matters.
Popcorn/Movie Night
- Have a Popcorn/Movie Night. Watch "The Jesus Film for Children" or "The Nativity" (if age appropriate), reminding your child of God's love for them throughout the movie. Have a discussion with your child regarding the ways God demonstrated His love for them.
- Have an "I love you day" for God. Discover ways you can express your love for God and then follow them out throughout the day.
Complete the Sentence
- Complete the sentences with various statements: "I Know My PARENTS Love Me Because..." and "I know God Loves Me Because..." and "I Love God Because..." Have your child list inside each heart how they know you love them and how they know God loves them and then why they love God (you may need to assist your younger child by writing for them). Allow them to come up with their own ideas. If your child has difficulty expressing ways that God loves them don't worry. Use this exercise as an assessment tool to determine their understanding of God's love. By the end of the week, your child will have a clearer understanding of God's love and it will become valuable to them in the days to come. Parents: You may need to ask leading questions to help your child discover ways you show love to them and ways God demonstrates His love to them. Encourage them to list as many ways as possible.
