Preteen Sunday School Lesson: Woman at the Well
Try a Bible Activity: Loving Acts
You’ll need:
Have each student pour a cup of water and give it to another student while completing the sentence, “One thing I like about you is…”
Ask:
- How did you feel getting a compliment?
- How did you feel giving a compliment?
Say: It’s nice to know others care about us. Let’s read about a woman Jesus cared about.
Read aloud John 4:5-14. Ask:
- What do you think “living water” is?
- How can we get living water?
- What are the results of having this water?
- Why might some people not want living water?
Say: Jesus showed love to a woman others didn’t like by telling her how to have eternal life. Let’s show love for others by telling them, too.
Create a Craft: Well Done
You’ll need:
- empty soup can
- wooden craft sticks
- construction paper
- tape
- slips of paper
- markers or pens
Give kids the materials. Have kids each make a “well” by taping two craft sticks to the outside of their can and making a roof out of construction paper. Then have kids each cover the outside of the can with paper, decorate it, and write their name on it. Have kids each display their well. Then have kids fill each other’s well with slips of paper on which they’ve written encouraging notes or favorite Bible verses.
Eat a Snack
You’ll need:
- a packet of Jell-O
- water
- a way to heat the water
- enough pre-made Jell-O for your class
- plates
- forks
- napkins
Help children make Jell-O. Talk about how the water is important to give “life” to the powdered Jell-O. Afterward, serve Jell-O and talk about how Jesus gives us life.
