Today we are learning about hotels. Ask the children about times they have gone on vacation. Where they went, what they did and where they slept at night. See if anyone has stayed in a hotel before. Show the children pictures of hotels and hotel rooms. Tell the children how a hotel is like a bedroom you borrow and pay for when you are far away from your home.

Today we are going to focus on numbers. On a large piece of paper, draw a hotel with several rooms. Give each room a number and have the children draw that number of people into the rooms. This does not need to be fancy. Just a large rectangle with small squares inside of it. The smaller squares will the individual rooms.
This week we are focusing on the number 1 so make sure to talk about all of the number one's you see so that they start to recognize that number.

Jesus Heals A Blind Man
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). This is a time for observation before the story is read and for children to share their thoughts on what they see in the picture and what they are thinking. It’s okay if they do not answer the questions correctly, allow them to share their thoughts. Your discussion will lead into the Jesus Heals A Blind Man story you will read later together.
Questions to ask if you like:
• What do you see in the picture? (Two people)
• What do you think that man has on his eyes? (Mud)
• Do you think one of the men is Jesus? (Yes)
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 John. When you find John in the new testament look for the number 9 at the top left or right of the page, this is the chapter. You will see John 9. We are looking for verse 25, and those numbers are much smaller under the big chapter number 13.”

Provide the children with paintbrushes and paint. Have the children pretend that the brushes are broom from very tiny housekeepers. They can just paint the paper.
Or if you are feeling more ambitious, provide butcher paper and trays of paint so they can use real brooms with the paint.
