Storytelling
Kids take turns listening to and telling Bible stories to remind them that we can learn and teach about love.

Spark Resources:
Spark Story Bibles

Supplies:
•    Self-adhesive notes

Set Up:
Mark four Spark Story Bibles with a self-adhesive note on the following pages:

•    Page 6—Creation
•    Page 69—Baby Moses
•    Page 217—Jesus Is Born
•    Page 484—The Empty Tomb
•    Page 533—Lydia

Instructions:
Gather the kids. Point to the picture of Lydia on page 533 of the Spark Story Bible. This is Lydia. In today's story, Lydia learned about Jesus' love. Point to the picture of the women on page 535 of the Spark Story Bible. And Lydia taught these women about Jesus' love.Just like Lydia, we can learn and teach about love. Let's practice learning and teaching.

1. Divide the kids into four groups.
2. Have each group sit in a circle on the floor.
3. Give a marked Spark Story Bible to one kid in each group. You are going to be the first teacher in your group. Everyone else will be a learner.
4. From the marked pages, help kids find a picture they would like to tell the rest of the group about. What is happening in this picture? Can you tell another part of this story?
5. Direct kids to pass the Spark Story Bible to the next kid until everyone in the group has had a chance to be a teacher and a learner.

Just like Lydia, we can learn and teach about love.

If you have less time . . .
Keep the class together. Invite a different volunteer to tell the whole class about each picture.

If you have more time . . .
Give each kid more than one opportunity to tell a Bible story. Allow kids to pick any bible story they wish.
