Kids Bible Lesson 18 - The Call of Samuel

Welcome to week 18!

In this Bible lesson your children learn about Samuel and his call from God. When Samuel was about three years old, his parents brought him to the temple to be blessed.

Samuel became both a great leader to the Israelites and a prophet of God. Through this Bible story, the children learn that they are not too young to be used by God and that they must listen carefully when God speaks, because he communicates in many ways.

Have fun learning!

If you haven’t read the introduction to Bible Time yet, I recommend you read the outline about the Bible lessons for children first.

Bible Story Tips

We read “The Call of Samuel” beginning on page 35 of the children's Bible Storybook called Bible-Time Stories and Rhymes.
During story, draw attention to the key concepts for this lesson.
Don't forget to ask questions related to the story, for example, “What message did the Lord have for Samuel?”
The girls saw how God can use them even at a young age.
After the Bible story and discussion session, we stand up and do the interactive rhyme found in the Bible storybook.

Prayer
After the story and rhyme, we say a prayer that is related to the Bible story. You can either have your children repeat after you or allow them to come up with their own prayer.

Bible Song about the call of samuel

The Bible song for this week is "Rise and Shine".
We cast the song from YouTube to the television, so our children can see the motions on the big screen.

God had a message for Samuel, so Samuel listened and did what God asked.

- We made the "Listening Ears" Bible craft to remind the girls that they need to listen to God.

- This Samuel Bible craft for toddlers can be made by cutting a band out of construction paper that is large enough to fit around the child’s head.

- Next, cut out two ear shapes from construction paper, then attach them to the head band. (We used the “Listening Ears Bible Craft" found in the Bible Time Family Fun Pack.)

- While working on this Samuel Bible craft, remind the children that we must listen carefully when God speaks to us.

- We reminded that our daughters that God can speak to us in many ways.

Teaching children to help others is a valuable characteristic. They will feel good helping and you might enjoy having a little help.

I gave the girls several opportunities to help around the house. Including folding laundry, sweeping the floor, washing dishes and helping to cook.

As they helped with various tasks throughout the week, I reminded them that they were not too young to do big things!
