Learn about the letter Z with Miss Cullen and Gator. First, Miss Cullen and Gator are going to show the upper and lower case letter Z. Then review the sound of the Z. Next look at one type of food that start with the letter Z: Zoo Animal Cookies. If you have these items at home you can try them with Miss Cullen and discuss what it feels like, tastes like, sounds like and smells like.
Remember, when trying the different foods, it has to go in your mouth but it doesn't have to stay there. But it is always good to try something new.

Story, Questions, Prayer
You can read from a Children’s Bible, your Bible or use the following story.
A Fisherman’s Net
Matthew 13:47-49
Jesus told this parable. “One day,” he said, “some fishermen took their boat out. They threw their net into the water. All kinds of fish swam in the lake. When their net was full the fishermen returned to shore, they dragged their net out of the water and looked through their catch,” said Jesus. “Then they sat down and kept all the good fish and tossed out all the bad fish.” Jesus said, “The fisher- men’s net is like God’s kingdom. Everyone wants to be part of his kingdom. But the angels will come and separate the Godly people from the ungodly people. The Godly people will live in heaven with me forever.”
Bible Story Questions & Answers
Talk about what the Bible story was about by asking the children questions. You can decide ahead of time how you want them to answer the questions. I like to have the children raise their hand to answer the question. If they are incorrect that is fine, the fact that they are trying to answer the question is great. You can say what the answer is or ask: “Does anyone else have a thought or answer to the question?”
If children are having a difficult time answering a question you can read the whole story again or just parts of the story. This will help them to remember the story and answer the questions.
Questions to ask if you like:
- What were the fishermen in when they went out onto the lake? (A boat)
- What did they throw into the water? (Their nets)
- What swam into their nets? (Fish)
- When their nets were full where did they take them? (To the shore)
- What did the fishermen do? (They kept all the good fish and tossed out thebad fish)
- What is the fishermen’s net like? (God’s kingdom)
- Who will separate the godly people from the ungodly people? (The angels)
- What does it mean to be Godly? (A believer in Jesus... this may turn into a discussion, accept all answers and talk about them if needed, OR if no answers: “Did you know that to be a Godly person means that you believe in and act kindly like Jesus?)
- What does it mean to be ungodly? OR Did you know that to be an ungodly person means that you do not believe in Jesus?
- Where will the Godly people live? (In Heaven forever)
- Do you want to be Godly, and follow and act like Jesus ? (YES)
Prayer
While sitting on the floor with criss-cross legs, have the children repeat the following prayer after you; or you can use your own prayer. If you would like you could tell them to fold their hands and close their eyes or just sit quietly and say the prayer after you.
Dear God (children repeat)
Thank you for this day (children repeat) Please help me (children repeat)
To be a follower of yours (children repeat)
So I can be a part of your kingdom (children repeat) And live with you in Heaven forever (children repeat) I love You (children repeat)
Amen (children repeat)

Write your child’s name on a half sheet of paper in marker. Next, give your child the paper and glue. Have your child trace their name with the glue the best they can. Lastly, give your child different items to decorate their name. Some items you could use are: beads, pom poms, glitter, little rocks, etc. This can be a difficult task for some children to do, so make sure you give them as much time as they need.
