First of all talk about the word ‘habitat.’ Here is a simple definition “The natural home or environment of an animal or plant” though feel free to expand on that. While you continue to talk about the word habitat and what that means let’s do this activity to make it come a bit more alive. Gather three bowls or containers and place grass in one, hay in another and water the third. OR you could draw on 3 separate pieces of paper (I drew some out if you’d like to print these) grass, hay and water. After you have talked with the children about what is in each bowl show them some pictures of animals. You can print out some zoo animals and cut them out. Have children place the animals where they think they would most likely find them living.

Print out the Bible memory verse coloring sheet and have your children color the picture. Sit with your children while they are coloring and talk about what they see in the picture (see questions below if you’d like some ideas). Your discussion will lead into the Jesus Goes to Heaven story you will read together later.
Questions to ask if you like:
- Is Jesus on the ground or in the sky? (In the sky)
- What does it look like Jesus is doing with his hands? (Waving)
- Does it look like Jesus is going up or down? (Up)
- Where do you think Jesus is going? (To Heaven. Children may not know this answer yet because the story comes next but it is neat to hear their thoughts.)
- Does Jesus look happy or sad? (happy)
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 Luke. When you find Luke in the new testament look for the number 24 at the top left or right of the page, this is the chapter. You will see Luke 24. We are looking for verse 51, and those numbers are much smaller under the big 24.”
After looking at the Bible show them “Luke 24:51” 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.

Flamingo’s are so interesting and they are fun to make. While children are making their flamingos you can share flamingo facts with them. If you’d like some ideas as to how to use the flamingo make sure you watch the video and you can print out the pattern of the flamingo if you are looking for a pattern.
