I Can Talk to God When I Feel…

‘I can talk to God when I feel…’ is a series for your midweek toddler group that helps young children and their carers see that we can talk to God when we feel lots of different emotions.

Using stories from both the Old and New Testaments, children will see that God wants us to talk to him when we feel happy or sad, worried or thankful, and that we can be sure that God is listening and cares.

There are 6 sessions in the series:

1. I can talk to God when I feel happy (Exodus 14:21-31)
2. I can talk to God when I feel scared (Daniel 6)
3. I can talk to God when I feel sad (1 Samuel 1)
4. I can talk to God when I feel lonely (Psalm 142:4-5)
5. I can talk to God when I feel worried (Matthew 6:25-34)
6. I can talk to God when I feel thankful (Luke 17:11-19)

Each session is split into 4 sections:

• Story Time: A chance to open God’s word simply and apply the teaching to the toddlers’ lives in a creative and engaging way.
• Activity: A suggested hands-on activity to help toddlers explore the theme of the session in a fun and game based way.
• Songs: A time to sing and dance, including a suggested series song to play each week and suggested nursery rhymes relating to the theme of the session.
• Craft: A time to get messy and creative! We have provided instructions and templates where necessary.
