Lesson Plan

1Opening (3 min)

Welcome to today's BibleMouse lesson! Let's start by looking in our special mirror. What do you see? You see YOU! Yesterday we learned about Eve, the first woman God made. Today we're going to learn about how God made YOU!

💭 Review Question: Who did God make to be Adam's helper and friend?
2Teaching (5 min)

God didn't just make Adam and Eve long ago - He made YOU too! Let's look in the mirror and see all the wonderful things God made. God made your beautiful eyes to see! God made your nose to smell flowers! God made your mouth to smile and talk! God made your hands to clap and hug! God made your toes to wiggle and help you walk!

📌 Key Talking Points:
  • God carefully made every part of your body
  • Each body part has a special job God gave it
  • You are wonderfully made by God
💬 Discussion Questions:
  • What do you see with your eyes?
  • What can your hands do?
  • How do your feet help you?
3Activity: My Special Body Parts (6 min)
sensory

Using play dough and the mirror, children will explore their body parts while creating simple shapes to represent eyes, nose, mouth, hands, and feet.

📝 Instructions:
  1. Give child small pieces of play dough in different colors
  2. Look in mirror together and point to eyes - make two small balls with play dough for 'eyes'
  3. Point to nose in mirror - roll play dough into small log for 'nose'
  4. Point to mouth - make curved line with play dough for 'smile'
  5. Look at hands and feet - make hand and foot prints in flattened play dough
  6. Say 'Thank you God!' for each body part as you make it
🔄 Variations:

Simpler: Just use the mirror to point to body parts and say 'God made this!' without play dough

Challenge: Use crayons to draw a simple picture of themselves after the play dough activity

4Closing (3 min)

What a wonderful lesson! God made every part of you with love and care. You are so special to Him! Let's thank God for making us so wonderfully.

📝 Review Questions:
  • Who made your eyes and nose and mouth?
  • Are you special to God?
🙏 Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for making me special! Thank You for my eyes, nose, mouth, hands, and toes. I love You! Amen.

Coming up: Tomorrow we'll learn about the special family God gave you!

Teaching Notes

📚 Background:

At age 3, children are becoming more aware of their bodies and capabilities. This lesson builds self-awareness while connecting it to God's creative love. The sensory activity helps kinesthetic learners engage with the concept.

💡 Teaching Tips:
  • Use an enthusiastic, wonder-filled voice when talking about body parts
  • Let child touch and explore each body part as you mention it
  • Keep play dough pieces small to prevent choking hazards
🤔 Common Struggles:

Some children may be shy about looking in mirrors or may get distracted by the play dough's texture

👀 Signs of Understanding:

Child pointing to correct body parts when named and expressing joy or wonder about being made by God
