Thanksgiving Shoe Box kids lesson
Children's Thanksgiving Lesson - Shoe Box Sunday
Title
: We have so much – let’s
give thanks to God
Samaritans Purse
Themes
: We are blessed, abundance, giving to the less fortunate, taking things for granted, thanksgiving
Summary
: Ask kids to help you pack up a shoe box for someone in need (This teaches about Thanksgiving but also promos the shoe box compassion project) As you pack items in ask if any of the kids helping you have any of the items such as tooth brush, soap, hair brush, cleanex, pencils, etc. Be amazed that all the kids have all the items! Compared to most children in the world they have so much.
Time
: 5 minutes – although this could be stretched out into a full length lesson.
Full Story
: Good Morning children! Do you see this empty shoe box? We are packing these up with things to give children that don’t have as much as we have, and I want you kids to help me pack this up. Here is a bag full of things that these less fortunate kids might like. (Open up the empty shoe box and from another container pull out an item to put inside.) What’s this? A toothbrush! Should we put that inside the box? Yes? Ok.
Do any of you have a toothbrush?
(Probably all the kids will put up their hands – be surprised)
What! That’s amazing.
All of you have a toothbrush. Wow. You know, many children in the world have never had a toothbrush. Let’s put that inside. (You can let the children help place items in the box) What else do I have here? (Hold up a crayon or pencil) Should I put that in? OK.
Have any of you ever had a crayon or a pencil?
What!
All of you have! Wow. You are so blessed.
Many children in the world have never had those before. (Keep going with a few more articles that you know all the kids will have. (It’s ok for your amazement to sound repetitious)
Summarize:
Most of us that live here in (your city or town) have so much compared to many children in the world. It’s good to remember how much we have and to give thanks to God. Since we have so much it’s also good for us to share with kids that don’t have the things that we have. (When the box is full close it up) There, I think we are done. Thank you for helping.
Pray
: Lord. Thank you that most of us here this morning have so many good things. Help us to share and help out those other kids in the world that don’t have as much as we do. (
In our church I had a stack of the prepared shoe boxes up front and I asked the kids to put their hands on the boxes as I prayed
) “Lord God, may these boxes bring help and joy to other children that don’t have so much. Thank you that as we share with them we can make a difference in their lives. Amen!
