Lamb Hunt
Idea shared by Chiara Despain
 

 

I use the story of the Lost Sheep in Jesus Tells Three Stories, which can be found in The New Testament Stories Book. Link below if you want. I cut and pasted the pictures on one sheet of paper and used them during the Lamb Hunt which is also below.

Show picture of Jesus and say that this is a story that Jesus told.  It is about going on a Lamb Hunt.

(Show picture of shepherd going to hunt)

Gonna find the baby lamb (sad)
Here we go over the dirt (clapping on thighs)
Through the grass (rub palms of hands together and say shhh, shhh)
Up the hill (clicking sound with tongue and thumb and index finger make a circle and alternate up and down as we climb)
We look around (hand on forehead) (are you worried?)

(Show picture of shepherd seeing lamb)

I see the wolf (scared) (hand on heart – make a beating sound)
Gotta find the baby lamb (hurry!)
Do you hear the baby lamb (baaa-baaaa) (happy!)
Let's get that baby lamb (fhew, the lamb is safe) (Relief)
Let's take it home

(Show picture of shepherd carrying lamb home)

Down the hill (clicking sound with tongue and thumb and index finger make a circle and alternate up and down as we climb down)
Through the grass (slide hands together and say shhh, shhh)
Here we go over the dirt (clapping on thighs)
We are back home and safe (thankful)
Show picture of Jesus and say that he is the true shepherd and if we are ever lost, he will find us.
