1. Climb With Me
“Climb With Me” is an activity that encourages imaginative play and gross motor
skills.
What You Need: No supplies needed
What You Do:
Before the activity: Spread out in an open area of your classroom.
During the activity: Imagine and act out different ways you climb.
What You Say:
Before the activity: “Spread out and make sure you can stretch your arms out from
side to side without touching anyone. (Pause.) Today we are going to do some
climbing!”
During the activity: “Let’s pretend to climb up the stairs. (Demonstrate.) Climbing
up stairs looks a lot like marching in place. We are almost at the top of the stairs;
keep climbing. (Pause.) Great! Let’s climb a rope! That looks a little like this.
(Demonstrate.) Super! Now let’s climb a mountain. (Demonstrate.) Whew! This is
a tall mountain! (Continue to climb.) This time let’s climb a tree. (Demonstrate.)
Fantastic!” (Repeat as many times as desired.)
At the end of the activity: “In our Bible story today we’ll hear about a little man
named Zacchaeus that climbed up in a tree so he could see someone very special.”
2. Small Change
“Small Change” is an activity that incorporates counting, sorting, and stacking.

metallic colors, paintbrushes, and paper plates
(Option: Paint discs in primary colors or use poker chips.)
What You Do:
Before the activity: Paint the front and back of the wooden discs with the metallic
paint, making sure there are several of each color, and let them dry. Once the discs
are dry, place them in the empty wipes container.
During the activity: Guide the children to take all of the coins out of the wipes
container and separate them by color. Then have them count the discs, lay them out
side by side, and stack them.
At the end of the activity: Let the children take turns putting the coins into the slot
on the wipes container, counting them as they put them in.
What You Say:
Before the activity: (Shake the container.) “What do you think could be in this

During the activity: “These look like coins! (Dump all the coins out.) Let’s separate
the coins by color. (Pause.) Great job. Now let’s count how many we have of each
color and lay them side by side as we count. (Count the coins.) Wow! We have a lot
of coins! Let’s try to stack the coins this time as we count. (Stack and count each
color.) Look how tall we stacked our coins!”
At the end of the activity: “Our Bible story today is about a man named Zacchaeus.
That’s a big name; let’s call him Zac for short. Can you say, ‘Zac’? (Repeat.) Great!
Zac had a job collecting money, but sometimes he took too much money. We’ll hear
more about Zac later today in our Bible story.”
3. Coin Prints

put it back in the containers.
What You Say:
Before the activity: “Come over and sit with me! I have some Play-Doh® for us to
play with today! I also have some coins that we can play with.”
During the activity: “First we need to flatten and smooth out the Play-Doh®, like
this. (Demonstrate.) Great job. Now let’s push a coin into it and see what happens.
(Demonstrate.) Wow! Look at that! You give it a try! (Guide children in pressing the
coin into the Play-Doh®.) That looks really neat!” (Repeat as many times as desired.)
At the end of the activity: “We made neat prints in the Play-Doh® with the coins.

today.”

Worship
What You Need: CD player, this month’s worship song, “He Saves the Day,”
downloaded from the Website, and the motions for the song.
LEADER: “Hi, there! Can you tell me: Who loves you? (Pause.) Yes! God loves
me! He loves ALL of us no matter what! Who is ready to sing a fun song with me
about that right now? (Pause.) Yay! Let’s get started!”
Lead children in singing “He Saves the Day.”
LEADER: “God loves me, and He loves you, too! He loves us no matter what we
do. In today’s story we’re going to hear about a man who was not very nice but that
still didn’t keep him away from God’s love. I can’t wait to hear all about it!”
Bible Story
What You Need: Bible
STORYTELLER: “Come here, everyone, and sit with me! It’s story time! Yay for story
time! Our story comes from this very special book—the Bible! (Hold up Bible and lay
it down.) Can you say, ‘Bible’?”
CHILDREN and STORYTELLER: “Bible!”
STORYTELLER: “We love the Bible because it has God’s stories in it, and His stories
are always TRUE! Today’s story is about a man named Zacchaeus and how God
loved him no matter what.
“Now Zacchaeus was a very mean man. He would go around to all the people
saying (reach out to the children like you’re taking something away), ‘Give me all
your money. It’s mine, mine, mine.’ Well, no one wanted to be Zacchaeus’ friend
because he was so mean!
“One day, Zacchaeus heard that Jesus was coming to town and he really wanted
to see Him. There was just one problem. He couldn’t see Jesus over all the people
because he was too short. So Zacchaeus climbed a tree so he could see! (Make a
climbing motion with your hands.) Let’s climb a tree so we can see! Climb with me.”
CHILDREN and STORYTELLER: “Let’s climb a tree so we can see! Let’s climb a tree
so we can see!”
STORYTELLER: “It worked! Zacchaeus could see Jesus! And Jesus could see
Zacchaeus! Jesus told Zacchaeus to come down because He was going to his house.
He wanted to be Zacchaeus’ friend.
“Zacchaeus was so happy that Jesus loved him even though he had been mean to
the people. Because Jesus was his friend, Zacchaeus stopped being mean, and he
gave all the money back to the people!

Jesus is my friend, so I’m going to give, give, give.”

do the wrong thing. Thank You for loving us, no matter what. Thank You for our
friend, Jesus. Teach us to do what is right and love You with all our hearts. We love
You, God. In Jesus’ name, amen.”

1. Written on the Leaves
“Written on the Leaves” is an activity that incorporates parts of the Bible story
while the children work on memorizing this month’s Memory Verse.
What You Need: “Leaves” from the Activity Pages found on the Website, green
cardstock, scissors, brown butcher paper, laminate, and painter’s tape
What You Do:
Before the activity: Copy “Leaves” from the Activity Pages on the green cardstock,
laminate, and then cut them out. Cut a rectangular trunk shape from the brown
paper and tape it to the wall where you will do this activity. Place rolls of tape on
the back of the leaves and set aside.
During the activity: As you say the Memory Verse with the children, let them each
put a leaf on the tree.
Choose two or more of the following
activities to help make the Bottom
Line stick. Lead the activities with
small groups of children. Encourage
children to play on their own if
they do not wish to take part in an
activity.
At the end of the activity: Point to each of the leaves, in order, and say the Memory
Verse one last time.
What You Say:
Before the activity: “Come sit with me under this great big tree trunk. (Pause.) What
is this tree missing? (Pause.) Leaves! That’s right. I have some special leaves right
here. They have words written on them. Do you think you can help me put them on
the tree? (Pause.) Great!”
During the activity: “In our Bible story today Zacchaeus climbed up into a tree,
didn’t he? (Pause.) He sure did! He climbed up in the tree so he could see Jesus
better. We have a tree on our wall that needs some leaves. Let’s add them while
we say our Memory Verse. The first leaf says, ‘Nothing.’ (Give one child this leaf to
place on the tree.) The next leaf says, ‘can.’ (Give one child this leaf to place on the
tree.) The next leaf says, ‘separate.’ (Give one child this leaf to place on the tree.)
The next leaf says, ‘us.’ (Give one child this leaf to place on the tree.) The next
leaf says, ‘from.’ (Give one child this leaf to place on the tree.) The next leaf says,
‘God’s.’ (Give one child this leaf to place on the tree.) The next leaf says, ‘love.’
(Give one child this leaf to place on the tree.) The next leaf says, ‘Romans 8:39.’
(Give one child this leaf to place on the tree.) Great job! Look how full our tree is
and it’s full with the words from our Memory Verse.”
At the end of the activity: “Let’s say our Memory Verse together. (Point to the
appropriate leaf as you say that word.) ‘Nothing can separate us from God’s love,’
Romans 8:39. Great job! Tell me, Who loves you? (Pause.) God loves me.”
2. Zacchaeus
“Zacchaeus” is an activity where the children will make a craft to help retell
today’s Bible story.

color the craft stick brown and tape it to the back of the paper plate half. Then
attach the label and Velcro® dot to the front of the paper plate. The children will
decorate the wooden spoon like Zacchaeus and add the other side of the Velcro®
dot to the back. When the craft is complete, show the children how Zacchaeus can
go up the tree and back down. Write the child’s name on the back.
At the end of the activity: Put the crafts aside to send home.
What You Say:
Before the activity: “In our Bible story we learned about a man named Zacchaeus.
Zacchaeus was a very mean man, but God loved him, no matter what he did.”

mine, mine, mine!’ No one wanted to be Zacchaeus’ friend because he was so
mean! One day, Zacchaeus heard that Jesus was coming to town and he really
wanted to see Jesus. But he couldn’t see Jesus over all the people because he was
too short. So Zacchaeus climbed a tree so he could see!
“We are going to make a tree for Zacchaeus to climb up. Can you color this craft
stick brown to make the trunk of the tree? (Pause.) Super job! We’ll tape it to the
back of the plate to complete our tree. (Pause.) Now I need you to add this sticker
to your tree and this dot sticker. (Demonstrate.) Good job! Next you need to color
Zacchaeus. (Pause.) Now we need to add the other sticky dot to the back of your
Zacchaeus and stick him to the tree like this. (Demonstrate.) Wow, he’s really high
in the tree! Zacchaeus could see Jesus! And Jesus could see Zacchaeus! Jesus told
Zacchaeus to come down because He was going to his house. He wanted to be his
friend. Zacchaeus was so happy that Jesus was his friend that he stopped being
mean, and he gave all the money back to the people!”
At the end of the activity: “God will always love you, too, no matter what. And He
gave you Jesus to be your friend forever. God loves me! Who loves you? God
loves me.”

children will take a coin from the basket, walk on the line, and then place it in the
container. (Demonstrate.) After you put your coin in, I want you to go sit down and
cheer on your friends.”
During the activity: “Are you ready to play? Let’s get started! Take a coin from the
basket and walk, walk, walk. Then put it in the container. Yay! Great job!” (Repeat
until all the children have gone at least once.)
At the end of the activity: “In our Bible story Zacchaeus was a mean man that took
too much money from everyone, but then he met Jesus and Jesus wanted to be his
friend. This made Zacchaeus happy and he gave back all the money. God loves us,
