Day 2: God Saves Jonah
We learned about a prophet named Jonah. When God sent him to tell the Ninevites to turn from their sin to God’s mercy instead, he didn’t want to go. He fled in the opposite direction. But God loved the people of Nineveh, and he loved Jonah, so he turned Jonah around in an extraordinary way. The people of Nineveh finally heard God’s Word and believed.
These are some of the activities we enjoyed on Day 2!
Art
The younger kids painted big fish with a surprise inside—take a peek under the fin! The middle kids made a pastel “Jonah in the fish” picture. The older kids designed and painted Japanese fish kites. These projects reminded the kids of the giant fish God used to save Jonah.
Games
The younger kids enjoyed ocean animal movements. The older kids played “Sharks and Minnows” and whale milk jug toss.
Science
All the kids watched short video clips about sharks and whales. The kids then enjoyed building “Nineveh” with wooden blocks, giant blocks, and plastic cups. The older kids created graph paper scale drawings of a human and different kinds of whales and fish.
