Summertime is all about getting outside and doing some fun things with family and friends. Show the children pictures of people at a BBQ and swimming in a pool. Ask the children what they think is happening in the photo. Explain that during the summer time people tend to go swimming more often and like getting together with friends and family at a BBQ. Ask the children if they have ever gone swimming or gone to a BBQ before and what they think of it. Ask them what else they like to do in the summer.

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 Earthquake in Prison story you will read later together.
Questions to ask if you like:
-
-
- How many jars do you see? (Six)
- Who do you think is in the picture? (Jesus, Jesus’ mom, Jesus’ disciples | A preschool definition of disciple is “friend”)
- Where do you think they are? (At a wedding)
- What else do you see in the picture? (Men, a woman, a cake, jars etc.)
This is a perfect time to talk about the Bible and how to use it. You can show the children your Bi- ble so they have a better understanding of what a book, chapter and verse are in the Bible. 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 2 at the top left or right of the page, this is the chapter. You will see John 2. We are look- ing for verse (or sentence) 7, and those numbers are much smaller under the big 2.”
After looking at the Bible show them “John 2:7” 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.

This is a science activity that children will work on understanding the concept between hot and cold. You can also discuss the contrast between the seasons of winter and summer being cold and hot. Place black stones in the refrigerator. Once the stones sit in the refrigerator for an hour have the children feel how cold the stones got. Next, place the stones outside in a sunny spot for about an hour. The children will be surprised to see that the stones are so warm after being in the sun.
For an extra activity Let's Make a Sun together!
