MEMORY VERSE:  

"How happy is the one who does not walk in the advice of the wicked or stand in the pathway with

sinners or sit in the company of mockers! Instead, his delight is in the Lord's instruction, and he

meditates on it day and night" Psalm 1:1-2 Christian Standard Bible

LESSONS:

Lesson 1 - The Tortoise and the Hare

Scripture: Philippians 3:8-14, Press On

In the classic fable: although the Hare was faster than the Tortoise, the Tortoise won the

race because he never stopped, but kept pressing on. In his letter to the Philippians,

Paul encourages Jesus followers to stay faithful and to keep pressing on with God

Objective: Kids will be challenged to commit to spending time with Jesus to start each day

Lesson 2 - Little Miss Muffet

Scripture: John 14:26-27, Peace

In the nursery rhyme, Little Miss Muffet ran away in fear. But in the Bible we learn that

because of Jesus, we do not have to be afraid. Jesus gives us peace, and he gives us

his Holy Spirit, to ensure that those who love Jesus are never alone.

Objective: Kids will say, “I will turn to Jesus in prayer when I’m afraid.”

Lesson 3 - The Three Little Pigs

Scripture:1 Corinthians 3:10-15, Building on a Firm Foundation

In the kids’ story, only one of the three pigs built a house sturdy enough to withstand

the wolf’s mighty breath. In the Bible, Paul says that each of our lives is like building a

house. We may build with different materials, but we should make sure we build on the

foundation of Jesus.

Objective: Kids will be challenged to think about what it means to “build their life on Jesus”.

Lesson 4 -Jack and the Beanstalk

Scripture: 1 Samuel 17:40-49, David and Goliath

In the fairy tale, Jack escaped from a mean giant and lived to tell about it. In the Bible,

David faced a real life giant. He trusted in God, who gave him the courage to stand up

to the giant and win the battle.

Objective: Kids will say, “I can trust Jesus no matter what”.

Lesson 5 -Little Red Riding Hood

Scripture: Proverbs 4:5-19, Get Wisdom

In this fairy tale, Little Red Riding Hood lacked the wisdom to understand that the wolf had

disguised himself as her grandmother. In the Bible, we learn that godly wisdom will

keep us from being deceived.

Objective: Kids will be challenged to think about who they listen to when making decisions:

negative influences in the world or the truth of the Bible.

Lesson 6 - Pinocchio

Scripture: Acts 5:1-11, Ananias and Sapphira

In the fairy tales, Pinocchio’s nose grew every time he told a lie. In the Bible, Ananias

and Sapphira paid a much greater price for their dishonesty. Honesty is very important

to God and should be important to us.

Objective: Kids will say, “I will speak and act with honesty.”

Lesson 7 - Little Bo Peep

Scripture: Luke 15:3-7, Story of the Lost Sheep

In the nursery rhyme of Little Bo Peep, the lost sheep came back home without her

having to do anything. In the Bible, Jesus tells the story of a shepherd who leaves

everything behind to look for one lost sheep. Jesus gave everything – even his life – so

that we would come home to Him

Objective: Kids will be challenged to accept the free gift of salvation from the Good

Shepherd, Jesus.

Lesson 8 - Rapunzel

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:12-28, Diversity in the Body

In the fairy tale, Rapunzel’s long hair turns out to be a gift when she uses it to let up

the handsome prince into the tower. In the Bible, Paul explains that God gives each of

us gifts that we can use to serve Him and His kingdom. 

Objective: Kids will identify ways they can use what they have been given to bring

glory to God.
