God Made A Family For Me

Material

• Coat

Steps

1. Give the coat to a child. Explain that Elisha had a special one that belonged to Elijah.
2. Ask them to watch you carefully when you say the last line of the nursery rhyme. You will then mime a task that the whole family can do together: vacuum, dust, do the dishes, pick up toys, etc.
3. Recite and mime the rhyme. Encourage the children to do the gestures with you.
4. Give the coat to another child.
