Start out circle time by asking the children “what colors are apples?” Once the children give their guesses show them three different colors that you have, red, yellow and green. Cut the apples on a cutting board in front of the children and allow the children to try a taste of a red, green and yellow apple. I would have all the children try all one color first and circle the sad or happy face on their chart. You can ask the children what they liked or didn’t like about each apple they try. Ask the children what color apple they liked the taste of most. Give the children the happy and sad face chart and allow them to circle or color the face that they like the best.

This is a perfect time to talk about the Bible and how to use it. You can show the children your Bible so they have a better understanding of what a book, chapter and verse are. You can say: “The Bible is one big book made up of many smaller books. Each book has a name. Today we are learning a Bible verse in the book of Genesis. When you find Genesis in the new testament look for the number 2 at the top left or right of the page, this is the chapter. You will see Genesis 2. We are looking for verse 18, and those numbers are much smaller under the big 2.”
After looking at the Bible show them Genesis 2:18 written out on their Memory Verse Coloring Sheet. To see and hear all of the Books that make up the Bible watch this fun, short video, The Books of the Bible, by Readeez! After they are done coloring they can hang their Memory Verse Coloring Sheet up in a special place. Then when your child walks by the sheet they can work on memorizing the Bible verse.

Today we are going to make a paper apple by tearing construction paper and gluing it to a paper plate. Provide the children with a paper plate and red, green, and yellow construction paper. Also, give the children a bowl of glue and a paintbrush or a glue stick. Have the children tear the red, green or yellow construction paper into small pieces and glue them onto their paper plate apple. Lastly, have the children glue a small piece of brown construction paper to their apple to be the “stem” of the apple.
Paper tearing is a great fine motor skill.
