Let me guess… You are the parent of a preschool age child, you want to homeschool, but you have absolutely NO idea where to begin and

haven’t a clue what to do?

Well, I’m happy to say that you’ve come to the right place, and that our welcome mat is always out for you. We are ready to assist you as you train up your child according to God’s Word.

Hi! I’m Mrs. Candace, founder of Sonbeams (http://www.Sonbeams.com), a stay at home mother to 4, as well as a former preschool instructor. I’m excited to be sharing with you some fun and simple ways to teach your child not only “school” basics, but also God’s Word.

This ABC booklet is just one part of our Homeschool Preschool Curriculum Series here at Sonbeams. We also offer teaching guides for elective subjects such as Bible Memorization, Shapes and Colors, Letters, and additional optional topics. Each booklet coordinates with the other for each day’s lesson. Feel free to pick and choose lessons should you not be able to do ‘school’ everyday – we just want to be sure that you have enough!

In this booklet, we will explore ways to teach your child their 123’s. Are you ready? Let’s Go!

How many red things can you find in your kitchen? Count out loud and write the answer on paper.?

Note to Teacher! This will either remind you of something, or prompt

you to ask your child a question.

Other Recommended Learning:• Let’s Learn Our ABC’s!• Let’s Learn Our Colors and Shapes!• Let’s Learn Our Bible!

“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” - Romans 3:23

Introduce 0, Zero

Demonstrate for your child how to draw the number 0, and the number word zero, on ruled paper or a drawing board. Let your child trace the letters/ numbers you wrote.

Introduce the 0, ZERO sign language flashcards. Demonstrate how to sign 0, and encourage your child to try the sign. Review this throughout your day.

For beginner students, we will be using capital letters to spell the number words. More advanced students can learn both capital and capital/ lowercase spellings.

Let’s Sing - Rolled Away

“Every sin had to go ‘neath the crimson flow..., every burden of my heart rolled away.”

Discuss and sing this children’s song every day this week to remember 1) how God rolls away our burdens, and 2) every sin we ask forgiveness for is gone! 0 left!

Learn Through Art

Print the block number “0” worksheet on heavy cardstock paper. Have your child color in the number, then sprinkle with glitter. (You can also use torn construction paper. Tearing teaches fine motor skills.)

Once dry, allow your child to finger trace each letter; seeing and feeling how the number and letters are shaped.

On the blank section of the page, ask your child if they could draw 0 of something. After thinking hard, they might just give a chuckle - you can’t draw 0 things. :)

Use a 3 hole punch and place inside of a folder, creating your child’s very own 123 book to review daily.

For the rest of the week, you will reference this card each day. The sparkles will catch your preschooler’s attention, and the texture will add extra interest to teaching them what the word and number looks like.

0 0Week 1 - Monday


Hands On

Draw 6 or 8 squares on a large, blank sheet of paper. You can use whatever you have – 6 or 8 empty paper plates, napkins – just something where you can easily see how many items are on top.

Begin placing items on maybe half of the squares. I used small red blocks in the pictures, incorporating the color of the week. Ask your child(ren) which squares have “0” blocks in them.

For young children, you might have to have a Q&A session – “How many are empty, or have nothing on them?” – which means they have “0” blocks. It might take several times playing through before they begin to catch on to the value of “0”, but playing again and again will be fun to them – so let it be fun for you, not discouraging.

To make it a little more challenging, fill ALL of the squares with blocks and see if they can determine that “0” squares have “0” blocks.

After they playing for a while, let your child spread out the blocks – for you to see if you can pick which ones have “0”. They will really enjoy you being the student, and more than likely won’t be able to wait for you to pick the squares before they show you which ones they are!

Scripture

Read Genesis 1:1-2 aloud with your child.

In the beginning, God created – that meant He made the heaven and earth. There wasn’t anything there before, there were “0” things – no sun or moon, no light, no ground, no trees, no people – it was just God.

Children will be able to better grasp this concept by visual props. Illustrate the zero concept by drawing two pictures. On one picture draw ‘God’, and the on the other one draw the earth filled with trees, grass, people, etc. Ask your child which one shows “zero” things besides God.

Explain how this is how it was before creation – it was only God!

0 0Week 1 - Tuesday

Hands On

1. Water painting “0”’s. Go outside equipped with paintbrushes and water. On the driveway, or concrete, or even paper if needed – sit with your child to water paint “0” everywhere.

Soon, they’ll make an amazing discovery! The sun will dry away their “0”’s – leaving them with “0” zeros!

Play as long as you’d like – and of course, they don’t have to stick to just “0”’s, you can write “ZERO” as well.

Let’s Review and Write

Review “0” using the 123 Booklet you started making on Monday – what does the number look like, how many does it mean, how do you spell it, how do you sign it?

A fun game your child might like is “How many fingers on my hand”. The ‘rules’ are that they raise their hand when you have “0” fingers up.

“Alright (holding up 2 fingers), is this “0” fingers – is this no fingers up at all?? No!

Is this “0” fingers (holding up no fingers). Yes! “

Repeat over and over – and enjoy all the giggles you’re likely to get from your child!

0ZERO2. Using cardstock, print 2 or 3 copies of the following flashcard file, or print the blank template to create your own cards.

When using the blank cards, you can decorate your own cards using 123 stickers, or you can write the letters yourself for your child to watch how they are written.

GAME: Cut the cards apart, and place them all face up on the floor. Have your child identify the numbers and number words, making a match. Don’t worry so much about the other numbers today, just focus on finding the 0’s. We’ll play again in the future with new numbers.

Writing

Using the Directional Arrow Practice Page, talk through the steps of writing 0.

“Let’s start at the top, in the middle, and draw a line down and around to the left - all the way to the bottom line. Begin to come back up and around on the right side, until you reach the top line. You drew a 0!!”

Continue with the number word worksheet for older preschool children.

Q&A Time:

• How many good things will get us into heaven?

• Are doing these good enough to take us to heaven?

Be kind Share toys Obey parents

Read Ephesians 2:8-9

Let’s Review

Reinforce what you’ve learned daily by reviewing the number 0, for repetition is one of the best ways that children learn!

Use your 123 booklet w/ the glitter numbers to finger trace each day. You also can use your flashcards for number and sign reviews.

Hands On

A fun game counting game for young ones to play is “Hi Ho Cherry-O”. Besides teaching your child to recognize and count the numbers 1 to 4, you will learn the value of “0”, as the goal is to have “0” cherries in your bucket to win!

If you don’t have this game, make up one! Find pairs of objects around the house, dumping them all in piles (one for each of you). Begin to match the pairs in your own pile. Whoever has “0” pairs to match first WINS!

*This could also be a great idea to make folding laundry and socks fun for your child… (smiles)

Do you have little ones that are too young for school?? Include

them by giving them a worksheet to color, too! They will learn more

than you think they can.

Week 1 - Thursday

Hands On

We’ll continue with the mess and fun you’ve already created today for the ABC lesson by doing a “0, ZERO” worksheet too. See below:

We’ll make use of the apple seeds from Tuesday in today’s craft. You could also use other small objects, such as extra noodles or rice, or even things that start with A or are red.

On cardstock, print the “0, ZERO” template on the following page. Ask your child to point out which one is the number, and which one is the number word.

Have your child glue the apple seeds or other objects on the letters, making their own 0’s. Once dry, you can paint over the seeds with red paint (the color of the week).

As you do this activity, discuss what you learned on Tuesday about seeds. Seeds must die and be planted before they become alive again as a beautiful plant or flower.

We also must die to ourselves, become NOTHING of ourselves, be buried with Christ, and His new life will bud forth in us.

Remember to Review

Before you get started on today’s lesson, take a minute to pull out your 123 Book or flashcards and review what you’ve learned so far.

• What does 0 look like? Draw in air or on paper, or make 0 with your hands.

• How do you spell ZERO? Encourage your child to write, sign, or draw the letters in the air.

• What is the sign for 0?

Find the 0’s

On a chalkboard or similar item, draw 6 to 9 numbers (at least 2 of them being 0). Ask your child to come up and circle the “0”’s, and X out the other numbers.

Add more zeros as they pick up on the game, giving them more to look for.

Count how many objects it takes to fill in each number or letter!

Week 1 - Friday

Hands On

In addition to the star as a reward for learning the number 0 – print the certificate accompanying this book and fill in.

You could also make one yourself. For this, take a sheet of paper, card stock, or construction paper to decorate - or cut out a ribbon to give your child.

Somewhere on it write something to the effect of… “Sally has learned the number 0, ZERO”.

Your child will be thrilled to receive this prize, so make it a big deal, and have them show it to Daddy, or grandparents, or other siblings.

Let them know they’ve done a great job this week, and that you’re proud of that hard work!

Your child has made it through the first week of school – congratulate them!! Today, on whatever you can find that excites your child, have them draw 0’s everywhere!

It can be on paper, on a chalkboard, on the driveway with water, on a cookie sheet with shaving cream, in play-dough, or even in the sand with their feet – just in a way that will be a special treat each week as they learn their numbers.

Once they write the number unassisted – place a large sticker on the “0” page of their new 123 book. (Stars, smileys, etc..)

These stickers are very motivational for children, encouraging them to know what the number is, how many it represents, and how to sign and write it. You’ll find that each week they’ll work really hard to earn their sticker.

Take pictures of them with the numbers they’ve written throughout the week as a keepsake, as these make a cute preschool scrapbook!

Praise, praise, and praise some more! Keep school fun and light, and you’ll find your child (as well as yourself) having a great

time and learning too!

Week 2 - Monday

1 1Creation - Day 1

We introduced the number 1 today with our daily Bible verse, Genesis 1:3-5.

On the first day of creation, what was it that God made? God created the light, and called the light Day, and the darkness, what? Night!

-----

Let’s talk about numbers and people now. Count you count to 5? Let’s try it together - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Did you know that when we have a birthday, we count just like this to see how old we are?

When a baby is born, how old are they? ‘0”. On their first birthday, how old are they? “1”. What age will they be on their next birthday?

How old are you? How old were you last year? How old will you be on your next birthday?

-----

Play the game you learned last week, drawing squares and using blocks to identify how many have “0” and “1” blocks.

As you continue through learning, don’t forget to include previous lessons in your new ones.

Review

Gather your flashcards and 123 book together, then sign the number 0. Ask your child what number you are signing. Now hold up one of the flashcards - What number? Next the 123 book - What number?

Congratulate for correct answers!

Can you find 0 of something? You probably have 0 elephants on your couch!

Meet the Number 1

Print the block 1, ONE worksheet. Color with a “B” crayon (blue, black, brown) and then fill with glue and sprinkle with glitter.

Once dry, finger trace the number and the number word, saying each letter aloud as you trace it.

Introduce the 1, ONE sign and flashcards.

Week 2 - Tuesday

1 1Review

Signing the number 1, ask your child how many fingers you are holding up. Sign 0, now how many?

How many ways are there to God? One - Jesus Christ. How many sins are in our heart after we confess them to God and ask for forgiveness. 0!

Let’s Write

For children eager to write, print the tracing sheets for 1, ONE. These are a great visual and hands on tool for teaching how each number and letter are written.

Trace over the solid number/ number word at the top, showing AND explaining how each one is formed.

Encourage your child to trace the next one. Be there should they want you to help them hold their pencil and trace. Help them feel comfortable, not alone.

1 Way to Heaven

Sidenote - in our Bible lesson today, we discussed how there is only one way to get to heaven. There’s only 1 door. Below are two songs introduced with this lesson:

“1” song – “One Door and Only One” …. And yet it’s sides are two.

and “One Way”… God said to get to Heaven, Jesus is the only way.

Bee Game

Print 2 or 3 copies of the “B”ee Game. Cut out the bees, then laminate or cover with contact paper.

The object is to match up the bees - the correct number/ number word.

Younger chilren can play with the numbers learned so far. You can make this game a little more difficult by adding numbers and number words for 2- 5.

Older children can match them, or younger ones can simply sort out the numbers they recognize.


Copyright 2008 - 201122

OBJECT:

Pair the number and number word bees correctly. Play face up for younger children, or turn upside down for older children.

Week 2 - Wednesday

1 1Scavenger Hunt

Today you’re going on a scavenger hunt. Think of 9 things that will be easy for your child to find, then draw them on a blank sheet of paper in squares, like a bingo card. Have at least 3 squares by 3 squares.

In each square, write the word underneath the picture. Example: draw a picture of a door and have “DOOR” written underneath.

They can’t read the words, but if you point out each letter and sound, they will begin to match letters and sounds!

Hand the chart to your child, and with a stop watch or timer set, let them loose and see how quickly they can find everything on their chart.

Everything they find will be “1” of something – make that a clear point, making the relation in their mind of how many 1 is. (1 Door)

To make this a reusable game, slide the paper in a plastic page protector sleeve, and let them mark the pictures off with a dry erase marker, or by placing 1 sticker over each item.

While you are enjoying this activity, ask questions which review

counting and sign language for both of these numbers.

Review - Use Your Noodle!

Think of a food item that you have in your home that looks like the numbers 0 and 1. Can you guess? It’s spaghetti noodles!

Soak some noodles so they are bendable, and have fun ‘writing’ 0’s and 1’s on a sheet of wax paper or baking sheet.

You can even make some other numbers besides these two, and ask your child to pick out which ones are 0’s and which are 1’s.

Older chilren might enjoy attempting to spell out the number words with their noodles.

1 1Week 2 - Thursday

One “ME”

Take the opportunity to share with your child how God made them unique. They are the only person in the whole wide world EXACTLY like them with EXACTLY the same purpose. Even their name is a special part of who they are.

Before you begin, take the time to look up the meanings of your child’s name. Then, as you come to this part, share that meaning with them. It’s amazing how name meanings can match up so closely with our character traits – God knew before we were created who we’d be, what our names were, and what we’d be like.

Share how important they are to God, and then draw a picture of them, with their name meaning too.

What are some things that they love to do for God? Draw these around their image, as ways they can minister for the Lord. Keep this a an encouragement for them to see how they can serve their Creator.

Hands On

After drawing your picture, go outside and have your child lie down on the driveway. Trace their body with sidewalk chalk, and then let them ‘dress’ themselves up.

Talk about all of the details that God put into creating each one of us!

Review

Be sure to take a brief moment to review your 123 Book and 123 flashcards!

I’m One of a Kind!

One unique part of our bodies is our fingerprints. No two

fingerprints are alike - isn’t that special?!

Take an ink pad and see what your fingerprints look like. How do they

differ from other people in your family?

Use 1 of your fingers to fill in your 1, ONE worksheet with your “one

of a kind” fingerprints.

Week 2 - Friday“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou

shalt be saved. Acts 16:31”

123 Book

Ask your child to show you how they have learned to write the number 1, and then place a large sticker on the “1” page of their new 123 book. (Stars, smileys, etc..)

Take pictures of them with the numbers they’ve written throughout the week as a keepsake, as these make a cute preschool scrapbook!

Certificate

In addition to the star as a reward for learning the number 1 – print the certificate accompanying this book and fill in once your child signs, writes, and counts 1.

Remember, you can always make your own as well, if you prefer the handmade version.

Let your child know they’ve done a great job this week, and that you’re proud of that hard work!

Hands On

Two weeks down, your child is doing great!! Today, we’ll play a game for review.

On a sheet of paper, draw two rows of squares, each one 5 or 6 squares long. Write the numbers 0 and 1 on them, varying the pattern.

Have your child place the correct number of cotton balls in the squares. If the number 0 is in a square, then they will not put any cotton balls in it. But they would put 1 on the squares with 1’s.

You could also use dry cereal, checkers, coins - or use B items such as buttons or barrettes.

Week 3 - Monday

2 2 Two Little Eyes

This week we’ll learn the song “Two Little Eyes”, found in the Sing and Be Happy songbook*. To the tune of “Sun of My Soul”, this song teaches how we have two little eyes looking to God, two little ears to hear His Word, two little feet to walk in His way, and two little hands to serve Him each day!

Relate this back to your ABC lesson today, and discuss how our 2 eyes, ears, feet, and hands can serve God day to day.

A second lesson relates to our Bible verse. Every child comes from two parents. In our Bible verse this week, we learn how the Bible says to honor thy father AND thy mother.

Sometimes when a child wants something, they ask one parent. If they receive an answer they don’t like, they might go ask the other parent instead. Is this honoring or dishonoring the first parent?

How a child can honor both parents? Some examples would be: helping clean house, obedience, being kind and loving to family, being respectful, etc…

Did you know that Mommy and Daddy has to obey and submit to authority? God is above all, and everyone should honor Him. God gives us other authorities to honor/ obey. Use this thought to lead into your Color activity today.

*The “Sing and Be Happy” songbook can be purchased online at: http://www.livinghymns.org/resources.aspx .

Review

Begin by reviewing 0, Zero, 1, and One. How do we sign these? Can you remember how to spell them? Let’s sound them out.

Number 2

Print the block 2, TWO worksheet. Color with a yellow crayon (for our color of the week) and then fill with glue and sprinkle with glitter.

Week 3 - Tuesday

2 2

Review

Signing the number 2, ask your child how many fingers you are holding up. Sign 0 and 1, now how many?

Have fun writing numbers in the air with your arm or a ruler today.

Let’s Write

Today you will introduce writing the number 2, as well as the number word TWO, two. Print the tracing worksheets, then first trace the arrows as your child watches on.

God created us with 2 hands. Use both hands to write 2’s in shaving cream today. Which hand do you find it easier to write with?

If it is your right hand, you are right handed. If it is your left, then you are left handed. This is another unique trait of the body God made just for you!

The 1’s and 2’s of Me

Move around a bit today, and have fun with numbers at the same time!

Start out easy with this activity by having your child stand on 2 feet. Next ask them to try to stand on 1 foot – be sure to laugh with them as they try!! It’s a little difficult, isn’t it? Now, can they stand on 0 feet?? NO!

God was so careful in creating everything just right, every little detail! He knew that we would need 2 feet to stand and walk.

Now find something somewhat heavy for your child to hold. As they pick it up, ask how many arms/ hands they are using. Can they pick it up with just 1 arm, or 1 hand? What about 0?

What else did God create on us that has 1 or 2? (Eyes, nose, mouth, knees, elbows) Explain how wonderfully created that your child is – handmade by God.

One point to think about is how God only gave us 1 mouth. Read James 1 and see if you can find out a good reason why that might be so! Our mouths can lead us into a lot of trouble, and we must seek God’s wisdom in choosing the words we speak.

Week 3 - Wednesday

2 2“Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for

this is right.” Ephesians 6:1

0, 1, 2 Squares

Draw squares on the concrete outside with chalk, and then fill them in with the numbers 0, 1, and 2. You can also write the number words in their own squares.

Call out either, “1”, or “number word 1”, and have your child run and jump on that square.

For older children, you can make this game harder by using upper and lowercase number word letters OR by adding other numbers to have to sort through.

Match Up

On the Shepherd/ Sheep printable, have your child identify which numbers and number words match the picture they see. Match by drawing a line to the correct answers.

You can keep in line with our Color of the week and use a yellow crayon or marker!

Review - 0, 1, and 2

Today we are talking about commands and the 10 Commandments in our other lessons. When we are commanded to do something, we have more than one option - we have two, but only 1 of them is the right way.

The decision we make tells if we choose to be obedient or disobedient. Which one is honoring? Being obedient!

When we choose to obey, that is the “1” rght decision. This is good and right.

When we choose to disobey, this is the “1” wrong decision of the “2”. This way is sinful and wrong.

Which would God have us choose? Again, how many ways are right? 1!

Just as the sheep only hear and obey the “1” voice of their shepherd, our “2” little ears need to follow and obey our Shepherd’s voice when He calls us.

2 2Week 3 - Thursday

We learned today that we have two types of life – the old and new, and yesterday we learned that we have two choices when faced with something – right or wrong.

The new man in Christ makes right choices. God tells us in Matthew 6:24 that “no man can serve two masters”.

How many does that mean we can serve? One! Our number last week.There is only ONE way to Heaven, ONE door. It has TWO sides, but only one is the right side.

Find a spoon in your kitchen drawer. Have your child look at themselves in the front and back sides. Which side is the right side?

Share that just as the spoon has two sides, only one side is right side up! The other side is similar, but upside down. How can we be on the right side with God? By being symmetrical, living just as His Word commands.

On the butterfly worksheet, look closely to see which butterflies have the same wing pattern. Some are tricky! Circle the correct matches.

2 in the Scriptures

In our Bible lesson today, we read 2 Corinthians 5:17. When we accept Jesus as our Saviour, our old man is put away and we become a new creature.

In your ABC lesson, you make a butterfly, and discuss how the caterpillar dies to self, and then how God gives him new life as the butterfly.

Have you ever noticed how the “2” sides of the butterfly are symmetrical, which means they look the same on each side?

Just another amazing detail God paid attention to while creating the universe!

2, TWO Worksheet

How many butterflies does it take to cover the number 2? How many to fill the word two? Cut out the small butterflies and see.

Activity

Print the Cloud Match Printout and have your child match the numbers to the number words.

Tie this in with your Bible lesson today. The clouds rained upon the earth for 40 days and nights.

Three weeks and you’ve learned so much about numbers and God!!

What did we learn about 0 in the Bible?

1) In the beginning there was nothing besides God.

2) Jesus washes our sins away, leaving us with 0.

What did we learn about number 1 in the Bible?

1) Jesus is the only way, the only door to heaven.

2) There is only 1 God, and we should only love and serve Him.

What did we learn about number 2 in the Bible?

1) That we have two parents which God instructs us to obey.

2) We have two lives - the old man, and the new man.

“Depart from evil, and do good; Seek peace, and pursue it.” Psalms 34:14

Number 3

Print the block 3, THREE worksheet. Color with a green crayon (for your color of the week) and then fill with glue and sprinkle with glitter.

Remember, you can also tear or cut green construction paper and glue the pieces on the number/ number word.


Introduce the 3, THREE flashcards and sign.

Hide and Seek Counting

Preparation - Gather together 1, 2, and 3 of different times, such as 1 ball, 2 baby dolls, and 3 cars.

Draw a picture of what your child will be looking for, and then hide them.

As your child finds the items, recount them each time to see if they have found all of them.

“2 cars? Great, but we still have 1 more - remember, 1, 2, and then what’s next? One more makes 3!

Review “0”, Z-E-R-O and “1”, O-N-E, and “2”, T-W-O first. Introduce the number “3”, T-H-R-E-E today.

Can you count to three? Let’s try! 1, 2, 3!

This week we’ll learn the song “Holy, Holy, Holy” – an older hymn still used today in churches. Besides singing the word “Holy” 3 times, there’s another 3 relation here. The Trinity.

God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Although there is one God, there are 3 parts of God!

God the Father is in Heaven, and is our Creator. God the Son, this is Jesus, who came to Earth to save us from our sins and prepare the way to Heaven for us.

God the Holy Spirit is the part of God that comes to live within our hearts when we become saved. The Holy Spirit tells our hearts when we’re doing something wrong, and prompts us to follow God’s ways.

Hands On

While outside seeing God’s handiwork (Scripture activity), pick some blades of grass for a craft project.

Since you’re learning to write ‘3’, ‘THREE’ today, try it one more time on paper (or even with chalk or water on the concrete). Place the blades of grass on the letter/ number.

Grass relates to today’s Bible lesson on the 3rd day of creation, as well as relating to our color green this week.

If you choose to write your 3’s with water, you can relate this to your Bible/ creation lesson as well, as God gathered the waters together on Day 3 creating the seas.

Let’s Review

Review 0, 1, 2, and 3 cards – what do the numbers look like, how many does each one mean, how do you spell them, how do you sign them?

Use the game “Simon Says” to make your review time fun today. “Simon Says sign the number 2”, or “Simon Says to spell the number word ZERO”.

Let’s Write

Today, encourage your child to begin writing the number 3 and word “THREE”. Create your own tracing sheets – and remember to allow them to watch you write them too!

These tracing sheets are to be used according to your child’s needs. They might only be able to do one of them, or they might want to do all 3 - do what meets their needs best.

Learning Our Name

Today’s Bible and ABC lesson taught us about D for Daddy. Let’s focus our 123 lesson on people in general, and your child specifically.

How many names do we have? 3! A first, middle, and last name. Does your child know all 3 of their names?

Write out their full name on a strip of construction paper or poster board. Then cut into 3 pieces and practice putting them in order.

Not only will this teach them to say their full name out loud, but they’ll begin to recognize seeing it written.

Begin saying each letter of their name out loud as you write their name on papers, and they will quickly learn how to spell and write them themselves!

Share the first, middle, and last names of everyone in your family.

Review

“On what day did God create the light? Sign the answer. How many eyes did God give you to see with? Spell this answer.”

Ask questions relating to your past lessons that will review 0, 1, 2, and 3. The answers can be signed, spelled, or the number spoken.

Practice drawing “3” and “THREE” today on a chalkboard, dry erase board, or similar item.

For extra name writing practice, print the blank line worksheet

and write your child’s name on the lines - first, middle, and last

names.

Slip into a plastic page protector, and let them trace over the letters time and time again!

Letter D and Number 3

Using your D for Duck worksheet, color in the letters (emphasizing the letter D), and ask your child how many more ducks are needed to make the number of the week (2). Have them draw 2 more ducks on the page.

What is missing that is our color this week? Green grass! Draw that in next.

Let’s Sing Numbers

Sing the song “Five Little Ducks”, but change to “Three Little Ducks”. This will use your letter D and number 3 from this week.

What color is a duck? Yellow, our color last week!

Review

Today’s number review will be a continuation of your ABC lesson - D is for Dirt. Enjoy drawing numbers and number words in the dirt.

You can use your fingers, or find parts of God’s creation to write with. Ask your child to think of things that God made that they could use... how about sticks and rocks?

Use your hand (or a GREEN leaf) to smooth the dirt out once you write a few letters to begin again. After doing this, how many letters are left? 0!

We learned this week in our Bible lesson that God created the dry land on the 3rd day. In just a few weeks we’ll learn how man was created from the dust of the ground.

What happens to dirt when you add water? Experiment and see if your guess is right. Now you can write letters in the mud!

The 3 Crosses

Print off the Cross worksheet. How many crosses are there? Write that number on the paper. This was the number of crosses on the hill when Jesus died on the cross.

How many men on crosses went to Heaven? Circle these crosses.

How many men decided to continue in their sin? X out that cross.

Color the crosses, grass, and sun – for a new day dawning, a new hope of salvation for the future! Because when Jesus died on that cross, His blood paid the price for our sin.

Share with your child the salvation message and how they can have life forevermore because of Christ.

As you share how we can be forgiven, remember to share our D verse - how after salvation we must depart from evil.

123 Book

Ask your child to show you how they have learned to write the number 3 (older students the number word THREE) and then place a large sticker on the “3” page of their 123 book. (Stars, smileys, etc..)

“Even a child is known by his doings.” Provebs 20:11

Daniel 3 - 4 Men in the Fire

Pick up on your discussions of Daniel from last week, and today share on his friends – Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

They were commanded to bow and worship a golden idol when they heard music, or else be cast into the fiery furnace.

These men told the king that they served God and none other, and that He would be able to deliver them from the burning fire and the king’s hand.

Because they disobeyed this command to bow and serve idols, they were thrown into the furnace, which was heated 7 times more than it was usually heated.

When Nebuchadnezzar looked – there were not 3 men in the fire, BUT 4!! And the 4th was like the Son of God!!

We are never alone, God is always with us.

Help your child draw a picture of the fiery furnace, with not 3 men, but 4 figures in the fire.

Again, reminding them that no matter where we are, God is always with us.

Review

Using the sign only flashcard, review numbers 0-3. As you say each number, count it out loud.

Today you’ll introduce the number “4”, F-O-U-R, and the sign as well.

Print the 4, FOUR page - cut, glue and glitter, and place in your 123 book.

Review Games

Refer back to your bee game, or number/ number word card game in Weeks 1 and 2 today using the new numbers learned.

You can print two sets and let younger children match numbers to numbers, or words to words.

Older children can match numbers to number words - face up or down.

Hands On

In your Bible activity today, you are outside looking at some of God’s handiwork.

Is it day time or night time? How do we know? The sun rules the day and the moon the night. Take a minute before bed tonight to go out and look at the moon and the stars.

We learn that the sun, moon, and stars were made on the 4th day of creation for our number 4 this week. The sky which God placed them in is blue, for our color this week.

Do you remember which day God created the sky?

For today’s activity, print and then draw lines matching the number words with the number of dots.

Review

Review 0-4 cards – what do the numbers look like, how many does each one mean, how do you spell them, how do you sign them?

This can turn into something, shall we say, boring if always done in the same way. So, find different ways to count objects, write numbers, or sign numbers each day.

Clap your hands 2 times while your child is listening carefully. How many times did they hear you clap?

Now clap with large motions, but making no sound. How many times did they hear you that time? How many times did they see you?

Let’s Write

Today, print the tracing sheets and encourage your child to begin writing the number 4 and word “FOUR, four”.

Hands On - Week 1 Flashback

Today you’ll play the game where you place objects inside of squares and ask “How Many?”

Draw at least 9 empty boxes, and place 4 objects in at least 2 of those boxes. Ask your child to show you which boxes have 4 in them. You can also ask previously learned numbers – great for review!

Another option for playing would be to write the number words on strips of paper, and place these inside the boxes.

Now ask them to find the word FOUR and show you – along with other numbers already learned.

4th Commandment

In Bible today, we read Exodus 20: 8-11.

Can you remember what the 4th commandment was? To remember the sabbath day and keep it holy!

How many commandments have we learned so far? Count them and seee. 4! Read them together once more.

Review

Review 0-4 – what do the numbers look like, how many do they mean, how do you spell them, how do you sign them?

Practice drawing “4” and “FOUR” on some sort of drawing tool. Write it big, write it small - going up and down and straight across!

Let’s Sing

Sing your BLUE song from this week – only change the wording to F-O-U-R, that spells four.

Have you noticed how your child learns songs quickly? Find times to review by singing your lessons together.

How many fingers do we have? Well, if you get technical, we have 4 fingers and a thumb.

Take turns trying to wiggle just one finger at a time, it’s hard! Today you’ll play a game with your fingers and their number.

Write the numbers on your child’s fingertips. You can write these in order OR out of order to make the game a little more difficult.

The game is for you to call out a number, and your child should recognize that number on their finger and wiggle that finger only.

You can also write the numbers on your fingers and have your child call out numbers to you!

“E”yes Review

For our letter E this week, and discussion about eyes today - let’s follow up this lesson with using our eyes to see numbers.

Print two sets of the number cards. On the first set, just cut out each number word. On the second set, cut out each letter of each word.

Your child now needs to use their “E”yes to match up the letters to rebuild the number words.

Once they spell each word correctly, have them say what the number is, and then count to that number.

They can also use their “E”ars to listen to the letters you call out, placing them together as they hear you say them, to build the number words.

As before, they can say the number and count.

Who gave us our eyes and ears? God, when He created us!

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begot-ten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him, should not

perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

Hands On

Begin by coloring the 5, FIVE page for your 123 booklet. Glue and glitter for finger tracing.

Next, trace your child’s hands and feet on paper– then number each finger and toe, and count them together.

Next do Mom or Dad’s, brother’s or sister’s hands and feet. Do they have 5 of each too? Count them and see.

Draw faces on each finger, making the characters ‘come to life’! You could even draw hair, or a beard/ mustache, earrings, etc….

Let’s Sing

Sing the “Where is Thumbkin?” song together. Your thumb is Thumbkin, index finger is Pointer, middle finger is Tall Man, 4th finger is Ring Man, and pinkie finger is Baby. End with …’Where’s the family, (repeat), Here we are!, (repeat)….

If you don’t mind messy fingers, you can draw faces in for your finger people with an ink pen or marker. Just use washable ones!

Review

Using feathers, figs, fig newtons, or fruit (for our letter F this week), place a certain number of them on the table and ask your child so SIGN the answer back to you.

5’s on You!

Pick up on your discussions on fingers from last week. We learned that we have 4 fingers and 1 thumb on each hand.

How many is that all together? 5! How many toes do we have on each foot? 5!

Would it be easier or harder to do things without that 5th finger or toe? Do you remember your experiment last week where you tried this out?

Did you know that when you hold up all 5 fingers that you are signing the number 5? You are!

Hands On ADULT SUPERVISION REQUIRED!

Introduce money today. Begin with the penny, which is equal to 1 cent.

Lay 5 pennies in a row. How many cents is this? 5 cents! Did you know that there is another way to have 5 cents besides 5 pennies? There is, it is a coin called the nickel.

Allow your child to see, hold, feel, and observe what the nickel looks like.

Line the pennies up in a row, then place the nickel underneath them – explain that though there are more pennies than nickels, they are still the same amount of money.

Make a store with items in your house, and price them in either pennies (up to 5 cents), or 5 cents each. Allow your child to ‘shop’ and then help them checkout and pay with their money.

Review

Review 0-5 in your 123 Book – what do the numbers look like, how many does each one mean, how do you spell them, how do you sign them?

Can you count to 5 on your hand? Now try counting back down - that’s a little bit harder!

Let’s Write

Today, print the tracing sheets and encourage your child to begin writing the number 5 and word “FIVE, five”.

I’d like to take a moment to remind you once again that not every child will enjoy, or be able to complete these 3 pages.

Follow your child’s leading. These are mainly here for children that want to do lots of writing, and aren’t a “must do” lesson.

Look for other ways to practice learning/ writing the letters that aren’t as stressful as a worksheet.

Hands On - Week 1 Flashback

How many fingers? Remember this game? Now that we’ve learned some new numbers it’s time to play again.

Hold up fingers (varying from 0 to 5) and ask your child to tell you how many fingers they see. After that, flip the tables a little and next let them hold up fingers for you to guess how many fingers – they can be the ‘leader’ or teacher.

4th Commandment

In Bible today, we read Exodus 20: 12.

Can you remember what the 4th commandment was? To remember the sabbath day and keep it holy!

How many commandments have we learned so far? Count them and seee. 4! Read them together once more.

How many gods are we supposed to have before our God? 0! How many graven idols are we to make? 0!

How many times can we use the Lord’s name in vain? 0! How many days a week are we to honor and rest? 1 - the Sabbath. This leaves us 6 days to work.

Review

Review 0-5 – what do the numbers look like, how many do they mean, how do you spell them, how do you sign them?

You are using “F”eathers to make ABC’s today, so continue this activity your numbers, especially “5” and “FIVE”.

Use the tips as a pen, or place the feathers down to make the numbers. How many feathers does it take to make each number?

If needed, reference your 123 book to see how the numbers and number words are made. It’s okay if your child can’t remember, this IS still preschool.

I just want to emphasize once again that your focus shouldn’t be to complete every single activity. These are guides, and not every child learns the same way.

Some will thrive on worksheets, while others might cry!

*Note - look for bags of feathers in craft departments or $1 stores.

Hands On

Using Froot Loops, count out 0 to 5 in piles. Next see if you can write the numbers 0-5 with them. Older children might be interested in seeing if they can spell out the number words.

Try doing this on an empty plate or table, but for younger children, you can print out the numbers and words and have them ‘trace’ them with the cereal.

5 Smooth Stones

A familiar Bible story with the number 5 is David and Goliath. Remember the “Only a Boy Named David” song? Sing this together, using hand motions if you know them.

God told David to go to the river and take 5 smooth stones. How many did David take? 4? 6? No, he obeyed God and took 5 stones.

God used David, his slingshot, and one stone to the giant’s head to bring him down to the ground.

Even though God’s instructions might not have made sense to David, he obeyed, and God delivered him from the giant.

Was David fearful of Goliath? Probably, but he knew that God was bigger than the giant, and knew God was faithful to protect and deliver him.

Practice drawing “4” and “FOUR” with cotton balls, then continue with 0-3. The cotton balls remind us of how Esau’s (for E) arm felt.

Coloring Worksheet


Yummy! We have more ice cream cones this week! I wonder how many there are, let’s count them and see....

Does your child care to color them the colors we’ve learned, color them one favorite color, or make them rainbow swirls?

Whatever their choice, let them know you are interested in what they are doing.

Review a familiar Bible story found in John 6: 1-15, where Jesus feeds the multitudes with 5 loaves and 2 fish.

One little boy brought lunch one day when he went to hear Jesus preach, and that was all of the food there.

Instead of being selfish and hoarding his food to himself, he shared it by giving to Jesus. Jesus blessed the food and fed the crowds.

Five loaves of bread and two fish. It might not seem like much, but God used it to feed many, with food left over!

Though children might seem small, and some think that they aren’t able to do much for the Lord, Jesus told us otherwise. We must be like little children. Children are capable of giving so much, and all in love, withholding nothing.

Find something to encourage your child in, something they give to the Lord and His kingdom!

Draw your own illustration of this Bible story together.

123 Book

Ask your child to show you how they have learned to write the number 5 (older students the number word FIVE) and then place a large sticker on the “5” page of their 123 book. (Stars, smileys, etc..)

“God is love.” 1 John 4:16

Hands On

Begin by coloring the 6, SIX page for your 123 booklet. Glue and glitter for finger tracing.

Draw 6 objects in the blank box. Will you draw 6 of the same object, all different objects, or will some of the objects be the same? Talk and think about how you can do this, and see what your child decides to do.

Praise them for the thought process that led them to decide how and what to draw - that’s being creative!

Let’s Rhyme

Six rhymes with sticks. Using Popsicle sticks, make piles of sticks - piles with 0 through 6 in each of them.

Tell your child that you’ll stop making piles when you reach a number that rhymes with sticks. Ask them after each pile if that number rhymes – “Does zero rhyme with sticks? No!” ….. etc…. “Does six rhyme with sticks?” YES!

Let’s count them: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 - six, sticks, they rhyme!

Review

Review 0-5 first, numbers and words. Introduce the number “6”, S-I-X, and sign today.

When you are counting fingers, you count to 5 on one hand, and then to start with new fingers on a new hand. You do the same with counting toes. Count six fingers and toes on everyone.

Sign Language

To sign SIX, touch your pinky and thumb together, with your other fingers pointing up.

Hands On

Make a list (and draw pictures) with your child of six different animals that God made on Day 6 of Creation.

There are many more, but allow your child to pick their favorites. Draw them in some sort of order, either all in a row, or 2 or 3 on a row.

Then ask your child to pick out numbers 1 to 6 – example “What if God created 4 animals, can you count and show me how many that would be?”

On the animal counting sheet, count the numbers in each box and write the correct number on the line below.

Review

Review 0-6 in your 123 Book. What do the numbers look like, how many does each one mean, how do you spell them, how do you sign them?

Can you count to 6 on your hand? This is a trick question! You need two hands if you are going to count fingers, but you can sign all six numbers on one hand. Try both and see which is easiest!

Let’s Write

Today, print the tracing sheets and encourage your child to begin writing the number 6 and words “SIX, six”.

If these are too much, consider doing one first thing in the morning, one mid-day, and the last one in the afternoon.

If you choose to just do one, I would encourage you to do the number itself. Number words can be learned later if you aren’t ready for them at this time, but are here if you are!

Review

Review 0-6 on your fingers today. Write the numbers on your fingertips with an ink pen. Hold up all of your fingers and ask your child to point to the correct number finger after you say the number.

You can also take some masking tape and wrap around your fingers (your child as well). Write the numbers on the tape, with a pen or marker.

Play a game that is close to “Where is Thumbkin”, except have your finger number friends meet one another.

When you hold up finger number 4, ask your child to find their finger number 4 and ‘meet’ your finger person.

You can also let them pick which finger to hold up and wiggle, and then you will match your same finger number friend to their hand.

Hands On

In review of yesterday’s 6 activity based on Day 6 of Creation, print out the 6 Animal Match Up worksheet.

Count, color, and write the number of lady bugs in the left hand column – then draw a line to it’s match.

Look and see what the left lady bug’s number is, then label it’s match with the same number.

Have fun counting and coloring ice cream cones today.

Hands On

In your ABC lesson today you read about Gideon. (Judges 6: 36-40)

He wanted a sign from God, and we read how he prayed a specific prayer that the next morning the wool would be wet, and the ground dry.

He also prayed another day that the ground would be wet and the wool/ fleece would be dry.

We are using cotton balls to represent the wool fleece, and a pan sprayed with a light water mist to be the wet ground.

First, take a dry cotton ball and write your numbers in the misted pan. Can you see how the dry cotton ball soaks up the water leaving the number visible behind?

Next wet your cotton ball and use it to write the numbers on the ground or a piece of paper.

Which place is the easiest to read? The paper with the wet cotton ball!

Hands On

We learn in our ABC’s today that G is for Gift. God gave us a gift many years ago, His Son, Jesus.

Many accept God’s gift of salvation through Jesus, and are excited and thankful for it. Others decide that they don’t care, and push Him aside.

How do you think that makes God feel? How would you feel if you gave someone a gift and they didn’t want it?

How would you feel if someone was excited about receiving your gift, and thanked you for it? You would feel very good! Take a minute to thank God for His gift to you.

Wrap up 7 small boxes which will be ‘G’ifts.

Inside, place 0 – 6 small items, one item in each box, as a gift for your child. This can be stickers, small candies, coins, etc… Let it be something that they can keep and enjoy.

Once your child can count and tell you how many gifts are in that particular box, they can have their gifts!

Review

Review 0-6 first, numbers and words. Introduce the number “7”, S-E-V-E-N, and sign today.

Ask your child what they’ve learned about the number 7 during board time each morning. They should quickly respond that there are 7 days in a week!

Sign Language

To sign SEVEN, touch your fourth finger and thumb together, with your other fingers pointing up.

Hands On

Begin by coloring the 7, SEVEN page for your 123 booklet. Glue and glitter for finger tracing. Draw 7 objects in the blank box.

“And whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.” Proverbs 16:20

7 Days in a Week

Go to your calendar, and closely look at how each month is made up. There are sometimes are a different number of weeks in a month, but there are ALWAYS 7 days in each week. Sunday through Saturday.

Say the names of each day, and then go back and count them. On a sheet of paper, draw out a calendar for just one week – Sunday through Saturday.

Are there certain things that you do on certain days? Write these on your calendar. Are there certain tasks that are assigned to certain days, or maybe that you’d like to try to accomplish during your week?

You could set sweep floors, or vacuum on one day, whilte helping with laundry on another day, and grocery shopping on yet another day.

You might find that your child works well when you not only have something written out to do, but when you draw pictures along with the list.

They can see a pile of toys means they need to pick up toys, or books mean to put books back on the shelf, or even a bed means to make up their beds.

7 7



Hands On

God rested on the seventh day of Creation, and called this the Sabbath day. He blessed this day and made it holy.

God made the day for not for Him to rest, but for us to be able to rest our bodies, and prepare for the next 6 days of labor.

This is the day we set aside to worship and praise Him – though we should ALWAYS be praising Him!

In the Bible, Jesus healed someone on the seventh day. Certain men made a fuss about that – saying that Jesus shouldn’t heal on that day – but should only rest.

What did Jesus share regarding this? Read Matthew 12:9-13 together to find the answer.

Review

For review today, visit your calendar (since you are talking about the days of creation) and count the days of the week together.

As you say each number, stop and count up to that number. For example - 7. Say “7” and then count, “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7!”.

You can also sign each number for extra practice.

Let’s Write

Today, print the tracing sheets and encourage your child to begin writing the number 7 and words “SEVEN, seven”.

If you find it works best for you to just do one, the number itself is the most important at this time.

Remember, number words can be learned later if you aren’t ready for them at this time, but are here if you need them.

7 in God’s Word

We’re learning about the 7th Commandment in our Bible lesson today. Sharing on this commandment can be difficult with children, but instead of focusing entirely on the adultery part – share with them how special God created marriage to be.

God has one special person for those He wants to marry. Until God leads them to that person, they can save all their ‘special’ love and attention for them – and focus those energies on the Lord.

Begin praying with your child daily for their future spouse (why not start praying for them at a young age!). Pray that God will keep their hearts for one another alone – and avoid the temptations that lead to breaking the commandments.

Print the block number 7, and have them fill them with hearts – representing the love they’ll trust God to hold for their marriage partner alone.

What true happiness we find on our marriage day when we have trusted in the Lord, and waited on Him! It’s never too early to share that truth.

Review

Using colored blocks, make piles containing 0 - 7 blocks in each pile. How many piles do you have? If you count a “0” pile, you will have 8!

If you choose to sort your piles by color, count how many different colored piles you have. Can you name each of the colors?

Practice drawing “7”, “SEVEN”, and “seven” on a chalkboard, dry erase, or similar item.

Draw a few first for your child to trace, then encourage them to try some on their own.

Ice cream cones again? We sure do have a lot of ice cream today... Let’s count - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7! Seven ice cream cones!

Hands On

Share the story of Joshua and the Battle of Jericho. The Israelites marched around the city of Jericho once a day for 6 days, and on the 7th day, they marched 7 times around – then shouted and blew their horns.

God brought the walls of Jericho down, and He gave the Israelites the city as part of the Promised Land.

Go on your own ‘Jericho’ march – march 7 times around a city you make from blocks, or even 7 times around your house (to make it more realistic of how long it took).

On the 7th time, you can blow horns (see color craft) and shout aloud.

Hopefully your house won’t come crashing down!! If you build a city of blocks, feel free to CRASH away and celebrate the victory!

Hands On

We’ve played “How Many” before, where you have your child visually recognize how many fingers you’re holding up.

Today, you’ll play “How Many Do You Hear”.

Clap your hands slowly (anywhere from 0 to 7 times), and ask your child to tell you how many claps they heard.

If they aren’t sure, have them listen closely while you repeat. Younger preschool child might have a hard time counting the higher numbers, so assist them by clapping one number/ say the number, clap again/ say the next number. At the end, ask them how many claps there were altogether.

You can use other sounds if you’d like – such as blowing a toy horn, playing a note on the piano, or snapping your fingers.

This will not only reinforce counting in your child’s head, but will teach them the discipline of sitting still and being attentive to you. (Great practice for church!)

Let’s write the number 7 all by ourselves! Older students can also write the number words SEVEN, seven) and then place a large sticker on the “7” page of their 123 book. (Stars, smileys, etc..)

“I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.” John 14:6

8 in the Ark

Besides the eighth day meaning a new week has begun, 8 symbolized new life in the Old Testament story of Noah’s Ark.

When the flood waters came down, there were 8 people to begin refilling the world. Noah and his wife, and his three sons and their wives.

Draw a picture of the ark on a white piece of paper. What color do you think the ark might’ve been?

Draw Noah and his wife, and then his three sons - Shem, Ham, and Japeth - and their wives either on the ark or beside it.

Count the people. How many did you count? 8!

Share the story of Noah and the flood with your child. Why did God flood the earth? Because of sin. Only Noah was found faithful to God, and God saved his life along with his family’s lives.

Once the waters came down, God gave these 8 people the same command that He had given to Adam and Eve, to replenish the earth.

There were no other people, and life begin anew.

Review

Review 0-7 first, the numbers and words. Introduce the number “8”, E-I-G-H-T, and sign today.

Hands On

Today you’ll find that your ABC, 123, and Color lessons all are on the Itsy, Bitsy Spider.

On what day of creation did God create the spiders? Most likely on Day 6. It’s not 100% clear, but this is how it appears to read.

How many legs do spiders have? 8.

Once you make your spider in your Colors lesson, count the legs. Are there 8?

Write the numbers 1 through 8 on white label stickers or masking tape. Tape these to each of the spider’s legs and count them again as you point to the number.

Are you glad that God made spiders? Why or why not?

Did you know that some spiders have a good purpose? They eat bugs! God gave spiders the ability to spin webs with a sticky, silky material.

Bugs fly into the webs and get stuck. The spiders can then have their dinner.

8 in God’s Word

The 8th commandment will be something children can easily relate to. It’s easy for children to become greedy or jealous of someone else’s possessions, so much so that they might just take them for themselves.

As sweet as children are, this is a sin, just as it is a sin for adults to get greedy or jealous and take someone else’s possessions for their own. Young or old, God commands us not to steal.

Adults, when caught stealing, are sent to jail. As children, you aren’t sent to jail, but you still must face consequences of wrong doings.

In the Bible, when thieves repented, God didn’t only want them to return what they stole, but they had to return MORE than they stole.

What are alternative ways to get something that you want, something that doesn’t belong to you? For starters, you can ask politely. Sometimes you simply have to wait for your turn.

Discuss this with your child, presenting them with a Godly outlook on how to handle the ‘greedies’.

Review

Use your 0-8 book for review today.

• Finger trace the numbers.

• Count up to each number. (1, 2, 3 - that’s 3!)

• Spell each number word.

• Sign each number.

Let’s Write

Practice drawing “8” and “EIGHT” on a chalkboard, dry erase, or similar item.

Be creative and see if you can find 8 colors to write 8 different 8’s with! Can you write them in the color order of the rainbow?

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple... and then we learned white, brown, and black. Pick 8 of your favorite.

Next you can try to write the other numbers eight times/ eight colors each - if your child wants to.

Hands On

Today we’ll learn about another animal with 8 legs/ arms. This creature lives in the ocean, and God has placed a special ink inside if it that it’s able to spray when it feels threatened.

This ink discolors the water, so the attacking creature can’t see the it, and it’s able to swim to safety. Do you know what it is? The octopus!

For a visual, either find black food coloring, or mix together several colors to create black, then fill a clear glass with water.

Drop the food coloring in the water to show your child how difficult it becomes to see though it with the ink. This is what it’s like in the sea when the octopus uses it’s ink to hide.

Isn’t it amazing that God didn’t spare tiny details even with sea life? He knew the octopus would need protection. He loves and cares for ALL of His creation.

Draw your own octopus body today – parent drawing the body, and child drawing 8 arms/ legs on the body. Count aloud as each one is drawn on, until you complete all 8.a a a a

Hands On

Think of words that rhyme with nine. One of these is vine. Read John 15:1-5 together.

Jesus tells us that He is the vine, and we are the branches. When we abide in Him, we will have His life.

To abide in Him means we pray and talk to Him, we read the Bible, and walk in His ways. When we do these things we will bear His fruit found in Galatians 5:22-23.

Print the flower worksheet, cut out the flowers, and on a large sheet(s) of paper, draw out 10 vines. Have your child color these green. Write the numbers 0 to 9 – placing one number under each vine.

Count each one aloud as they draw it, up until they reach the last one.

If you’d like to get a little more hands on, buy a bag of grapes, and take a close look at the grapevine on which the grapes grow.

If a grape was plucked when it was still small, it would stop growing while the rest of the attached grapes grew larger and juicer.

We only grow in the Lord when we stay attached to Him.

Let your child pick 9 grapes for a small snack. If you’re still hungry, pick another number to count off and eat.

Review

Review 0-9 cards – what do the numbers look like, how many does each one mean, how do you spell them, and how do you sign them?

Today, you’ll bring a little rhyming fun into the lesson. Nine rhymes with wine, which comes from grapes growing on a vine – nine, wine, vine.

Jesus’ first miracle was turning the water into wine – read about this miracle with your child. Wine was a drink in the Bible that people made from grapes. Did you know that grapes grow on a vine? Yes, a grapevine.

Count all of the commandments learned so far. How many have your learned?

Review and discuss briefly what each one means.

Let’s Write

Practice drawing “9” and “NINE” on a chalkboard, dry erase board, or similar item.

You can also read some of the commandments aloud and ask your child if they can write which commandment number it is.

“Honor thy father and thy mother. Which commandment is this? The 5th. This means the number 5. Can you write the number 5?”

Review

Use your 0-9 book for review today.

• Finger trace the numbers.

• Count up to each number. (1, 2, 3 - that’s 3!)

• Spell each number word.

• Sign each number.

Hands On

Pull out the ABC cards you made earlier in the year, and for this activity, select 9 cards at a time – counting them aloud together as you place them face up.

In these 9 cards, you will include letters that make up the number words, and see if your child can spell these out. Sound out the words slowly, to help prompt them as to what letter comes next.

You can also spell the color words if you’d like.

9 in God’s Word

Our lessons today discuss fruits. Did you know that God talks about fruit in our lives? He tells us that people will know us by the fruit that we bear. It will either be sweet, pleasing, and refreshing – or bitter, sour, something people want nothing to do with.

Galatians 5:22-23 tells us that there are “9” character traits that we will live out in our daily lives when we abide in God. These are: Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering (Patience), Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, and Temperance.

Discuss ways to demonstrate each of these in your day to day life.

Today, you’ll create your own Fruit of the Spirit tree – which you can also display in your school room as a reminder of how we should live out God’s love. Using green paper for the leaves, brown for the trunk, and various colors for different fruits your child would like to use on their tree.

Talk about what the different traits mean once more, then say each one as you write it on a fruit to attach to the tree. You can also us this to refer to during the day, to praise your child for displaying one of these fruits.

Hands On

Print the Whale Worksheets on cardstock paper. Write numbers 1 to 9 on the inside of each small whale’s mouth. Let your child color the whales before cutting them out.

Call out numbers between 0 and 9, and have your child place that many small whales inside of the larger whale’s mouth.

Reading the numbers on the whales, count aloud as you count the correct number of small whales together.

Other Options:

1) Take a file folder and glue the large whale on the inside page. Glue an envelope to the facing inside page in which the small whale pieces can be contained.

Cover with contact paper for durability. You may also want to cut out the mouth on the large whale and allow the small whales to go into the whale.

2) Paint a cereal box white, or cover with white paper, and glue the whale to the front. Cut out the mouth and feed the small whales into the whale’s body.

Let’s write the number 9 all by ourselves! Older students can also write the number words NINE, nine and then place a large sticker on the “9” page of their 123 book. (Stars, smileys, etc..)

Review 0-9 with your flashcards before you begin a new week. Introduce the number “10”, T-E-N, and sign today.

Sign Language

To sign TEN, make a fist like an A, and twist it back and forth.

Hands On

Color the 10, TEN page for your 123 booklet. Glue and glitter for finger tracing. Draw 10 objects in the blank box.

Hands On

10 is a BIG number for young preschoolers!! They have reached a milestone in learning – and should be encouraged and praised for their efforts!

Think out loud, what parts of our bodies can we use to count 10? If your child can’t guess, begin wiggling your fingers and toes…. Yea!

We have 10 fingers and 10 toes! Each one has a special job, but put them all together and what amazing things we can do with our hands and feet!

It’s much easier to walk with 10 toes. It’s much easier to pick up things, play instruments, write, get dressed, etc… with 10 fingers.

There are some people that God created special that might not have 10 fingers or toes. These people have a special plan from God, and though parts of them are different, they are still His children and we are all in His family.

Trace your child’s hands and feet – then have them go back and number each finger/ toe – 1 to 10. After counting to 10, be sure to clap your 10 finger hands together for a job well done!

K is for King

Besides Jesus being the King of Kings, the book of John shares 10 names of Jesus:

1. “I am the Bread of Life” (6:35).

2. “I am the Bread of Life which came down from heaven” (6:41).

3. “I am the Living Bread” (6:51).

4. “I am the Light of the world” (8:12).

5. “I am One that bear witness of Myself” (8:18).

6. “I am the Door of the sheep” (10:7,9).

7. “I am the Good Shepherd” (10:14).

8. “I am the Resurrection and the Life” (14:6).

9. “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life” (14:6).

10. “I am the True Vine” (15:1,5).

Write each of these down, as you share them aloud with your child. Number each one, counting 1 to 10 – but more importantly, discuss on a child’s level what these names/ descriptions of Jesus mean.

Review

Review 0-10 cards in your 123 Book. Have your child close their eyes as you place one of their 10 fingers on different glittered numbers. Can they feel which number they are rubbing?

Let’s Write

Today, encourage your child to begin writing the number 10 and word “TEN”.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!

Act out this rhyme using motions, or using real shoes/ buckles, and sticks. Sign each number as you say it in the rhyme.

Review

Review 0-10 cards, browsing through the pages and selecting a few to count, sign, or spell.

Practice writing “10” and “TEN” on a chalkboard, dry erase, or similar item. Write them big, or write them small - make it fun!

Since you are learning about sticks in your nursery rhyme today, why not use sticks to spell your letters?

You could also trace the numbers and letters in the dirt or sand with a stick.

Hands On

Print the “Pick Up Sticks” printable and cut the pieces. Use cardstock for a more durable game.

As you call out a number, 0 to 10, have your child lay that many sticks out straight next to their hen/ chick.

10 in God’s Word

In our Bible lesson today, we learn of the 10 plagues which God brought upon Egypt when Pharoah wouldn’t obey God’s command to free the Israelites. Exodus chapters 7 through 12 tells us this story of Moses and Pharaoh.

Read excerpts from the Bible, or a children’s Bible, of all that took place during this time. Next, make a pictorial list of the 10 plagues that fell upon Egypt.

Discuss that these things happened because Pharaoh thought himself higher than having to listen to and obey God.

How can we be different from Pharaoh? First of all, we can obey God’s voice the first time we hear Him. When we sin, God will punish us – just like the plagues punished Pharaoh. The Bible tells us that God corrects His children whom He loves, so it’s really a good thing, because He loves us.

It’s the same as when Daddy or Mommy discipline their children. If a child doesn’t obey, the parents must discipline them. Their relationship and the course of the day cannot continue in peace until the child obeys. There can only be one leader, just as there is only one God.

Just as parents and children will restore their day and loving relationship – God still loves us and is ready to walk once again with us!

Hands On

The number 10 has another meaning in the Bible – 10%. In the Old Testament, the people were to give God the first 10% of all their earnings/ crops. 10% equals one-tenth.

God desired the people to offer back to Him the first fruits of all He had blessed them with.

Today, we do the same thing – we give 10% of our income (money) to God. This is called our tithe, and we give it to God at church.

God uses this money at the church to meet needs that others have within our church or communities, as well as it taking care of the church itself.

All of our money and possessions aren’t really ours anyway – they’re God’s. We wouldn’t have any of them if He hadn’t given them to us.

So it’s not that we’re giving up some of “our” money, but it’s God’s money, and we should be thankful that He’s letting us have 90% for ourselves.

We wouldn’t have anything if it weren’t for God giving it to us!

Review

Count and sign to 10 for a quick review.

We’re starting a new series of numbers this week! Our number last week was 10, which had two digits.

After 9, we had to make a bigger number, so we added a new column. We began this new tens column with a 1, and started the ones column back over with a 0. This gave us 10.

To count one more number, we change the 0 in the ones column to a 1, making 11.

Sign Language

Make the letter S (a fist with thumb on top), then snap up the index finger – Eleven.

Hands On

Color the 11, ELEVEN page for your 123 booklet. Glue and glitter for finger tracing. Draw 11 objects in the blank box.

Hands On

After reviewing your 0-10 cards, create and add in an “11” card. Color and decorate with glitter, and draw 11 objects in the box.

Next, draw 12 lines on a long/ horizontal sheet of paper. Ask your child to begin writing the numbers you’ve learned – in order.

What’s the very first number they learned? It has no value – it’s before the beginning…. Zero!

After they write 0-11 on the lines, go back and together draw the correct number of hearts next to each number, for love.

Example – For the number 2, draw two hearts beside the number 2. You can draw the hearts if your child isn’t able yet, and they can go back and color them in.

Be sure to count each one out loud as you draw them, and then color them.

Who are we to love with all of our heart? God!

For a fun, hands on craft/ learning activity (also teaching fine motor skills) you’ll use a food which is our shape this week, the circle. Any ideas? Cheerios!

On a piece of cardboard (or cereal box, oatmeal box, etc..), write “11”, and then fill with glue. Have your child place 11 ‘circle’ Cheerios on the number.

Once you’ve finished your eleven lesson, have fun with other numbers! Call out a number to your child and let them write it on the cardboard and trace with glue.

After they have done this, encourage them to count out the correct number of Cheerios to place on the number. Give them a chance to do this themselves.

If they make a mistake, you can ask if they are sure - maybe to count them again just to be sure.

• Another thing you can do with these is to lay them all out and mixed up (face up or down), and have your child match the number words and numbers.

• For an exercise, hold up a number flashcard and then do that many of a certain exercise. Examples:

Run in place for “5” seconds

Jump up and down 8 times

Touch your toes 10 times

• Spell the number word in a whisper, or spell it loud!

• Sign the number 6 “6” times, 9 “9” times, etc...

• Bounce a ball “4” times

Review

Review a few different pages from your Numbers Book today.

- What do the numbers look like? Draw them in the air.

- Can you count them?

- How do you spell them?

- How do you sign them?

Practice drawing “11” and “ELEVEN” on one of your child’s favorite drawing tools, such as a chalkboard, dry erase board, or magnetic board.

Write a few of these first for your child to trace, then encourage them to try at least 3 on their own.

Mark 12:30

Hands On

Take your telescope or binoculars from other lessons today and go on a number hunt. Look for objects around your house – letting your child lead. Once they ‘look and find’ something, stop and count how many there are all together.

For instance, they might see books on shelf. Count the books aloud together. Next, they see a bowl of apples – count the apples together.

You can also tell them what you want them to look for, and then have them find it. Our children have a game with small plastic animals.

They love to take turns hiding and finding them in a certain room of the house. They know what they are looking for, and that’s what their minds and eyes are set on.

We’re supposed to follow and look to God the same way. God has told us in the Bible what He wants us to see and follow; He has given us the rules, or directions to life.

When we look to Him, our eyes are set on Him – other distractions aren’t even noticed. Pray together that God would set your eyes to ‘L’ook to Him!

Review

Last week we learned that once you get to a new number series, you add a new digit column, and the second (original column) digit gets one number bigger each time – starting with 1-0, then 1-1.

What number do you think comes next? 1- (what?). Today we’re learning 1-2, which is the number 12!

After reviewing 3 of your 0-11 cards, create and add in the “12” card. Color and decorate with glitter, and draw 12 objects in the box.

In Jesus’ day, his family went to Jerusalem every year for the Passover. Luke 2:41 begins a passage regarding this.

Jesus was 12 years old on this trip to Jerusalem. When His parents left to return home, they didn’t realize that Jesus was left behind.

When they went back looking for Him, He was in the Temple. The men there were amazed at His wisdom!

When Mary asked why He had done this, and cause his parents to worry, Jesus explained that He had to be about His Father’s (God)business.

At the age of 12, Jesus knew, understood, and accepted God’s will for His life. Even though you’re a child (speaking to your child), God has a plan and purpose for your life. You are never too young to serve Him!

12 in the Bible

Jesus had 12 disciples, or apostles, and one of these was “Matthew”. These were men that followed Jesus, served God, and after Jesus died – they carried the Gospel message across the land. These 12 men laid down their lives to follow and serve the Lord.

Matthew 10:2-4 tells us “These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him.”

Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus, was replaced by Matthias (see Acts 1:20-26).

Take a piggy bank, small money pouch, or glass jar. Have your child be “Matthew, The Tax Collector”, then switch roles.

How much money does the collector require? 3 coins! Drop 3 coins into the bank, jar, or bag – counting each number out loud as you drop it in. Play this to review numbers 1 to 12.

Review






Practice drawing “12” and “TWELVE” on a chalkboard, dry erase, or similar item. As with the letters, draw a few first for your child to trace, then encourage them to try at least 3 on their own.

Review all the numbers and their order by counting one to twelve, signing each number as you say the name.

Coloring Worksheet


Read the number in the box and draw the correct number of ice cream cones on the page.

Hands On

Pull out a calendar today, preferably one that shows all 12 months on the same page. If you only have a flip calendar, this will work just fine.

Have your child count the months – you should have how many? 12 - our number this week! Say the names of the months together.

Each month has different things we know them by, whether holidays or seasons. What month are we in right now? What was last month? What is next month? What month is your birthday in?

Using index cards, write the names of the months on the blank side - one per card. You will also need to write the numbers 1 through 12 on cards, or half cards.

Lay out the months in order, and ‘read’ them together with your child. Now ask them to go back and place the number card on each month’s number.

January will be 1, May will be 5, and December will be 12. Starting at January, number 1, count the month numbers as you point to each one.

God has given us time, and the months are just one way that we measure time. Only God knows how much time we have to live here on this world to serve Him. Be faithful with the time God gives you!

Let your child trace each number word with a crayon, count the dots, and then write the correct number alongside each one.

This will test their visual recognition of number words, and if they have trouble with those, they can count the dots – practicing counting in order.

Print the 13 Squares Worksheet, and have your child find and color the thirteen squares ONLY. Good opportunity to practice following instructions.

Once they finish, go back and count them again – placing your finger on each one as you count it aloud.

How many circles are there? Count and write the numbers inside of the circles.

How many triangles are there? Count these and write each number inside.

Review






Practice drawing “13” and “THIRTEEN” on a chalkboard, dry erase, or similar item. As with the letters, draw a few first for your child to trace, then encourage them to try at least 3 on their own.

Review all the numbers and their order by counting one to thirteen, signing each number as you say the name.

Bonus

Count how many shapes there are in all!

Hands On

What child doesn’t love to have someone read them a book! Take the opportunity today to sit down and read some books to your child.

But today, do something that you probably haven’t thought of doing before….

As you read each page, point out the page number at the bottom. Flip through the pages, starting at the beginning, and count aloud together the numbers.

Is there something you ‘notice’ about the numbers? They go in order – 1, 2, 3, and so on!

After reading, ask your child to find page 13, followed by other numbers. You’ll probably find that they will be pretty excited about being able to do this.

Encourage them in their accomplishments!

Print the Dice Template on cardstock –cutting outside lines, folding inside lines - making your own pair of die, and draw 1 to 6 dots on each. Choose your color.

Tonight at your “N”ight camp out, take turns rolling the die and counting up to each of the numbers. You won’t reach 13, but will reach 12.

When 12 comes up, just ask what number would be next, and this will add 13 to your evening game.

You can find things to do for each number:

• Clap your hands

• Jump up and down

• Roll over

• Give hugs

• Pat your head

• Blink your eyes

“Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.”Romans 12:21

Numbers Book

Color the 14, FOURTEEN page for your 123 booklet. Glue and glitter for finger tracing. Draw 14 objects in the blank box.

Hands On

Take a pad of post it notes, writing numbers 0 to 14 on them – one on each sheet. Be sure that you have 14 of the “14” cards.

Stick these all over one room in your house, and have your child wait in the other room while you do this. Can they be “O”bedient?

When they return, ask them to find all 14 of the “14” cards. Walk the room with them, and when they come to a number, ask them to tell you what it is.

If it’s not 14, then leave it; but if it is, then remove it and place it somewhere where you’ll have room to lay out all 14 cards.

As they find and bring more over, ask them if they have found all 14 yet. They will have to count them in order to know, so by the time they reach 14, they will have had LOTS of practice counting!

Review

Remember how we learned that once you get to a new number series, you have a new first digit, and the second digit gets one number bigger each time – starting with 1-0, then 1-1, 1-2, 1-3?


Sign Language

To sign 14, make a ten (with your palm facing in towards your body), and then make a 4 (with your palm facing out).

14 A,4“Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.”

Romans 12:21

Hands On

Using either graham crackers or another favorite ‘rectangle’ snack, pour a pile on the table. Ask your child to count out 14 and place to the side.

*Note - you might want to break the large rectangle into the 4 smaller rectangle sections.

Next, place several sets of crackers beside one another. For instance – 6 crackers in one pile, and 8 in a pile next to it. How many does this equal? 14.

Do this several times, with different numbers. You can also add in a couple of sets that don’t add up to 14 – asking them if this was the number 14. This gives them extra practice counting.

Once you are done with the hands on, move onto the hands IN part of the lesson - using your hands to put 14 yummy crackers in your mouth.

Of course, you’ll want to count them as you eat!

Review


Find ways to count up to that number - turn around 2 times, hold up 2 fingers, make 2 rectangles in the air with your fingers, etc...

Change up the actions each day, and don’t forget to review the signs for the numbers as well.

Hands On

Pull out the paints and old t-shirts – we’re painting again today! Begin today’s lesson by painting a number 14 at the top of your child’s paper.

Next, write either the 1 or 4 from the number 14, with a blank line where the missing digit should to. Have your child fill in the missing blank to complete each 14.

Move on to having your child paint their own 14’s, and then either allow them to paint the other numbers (in order or not).

Another option would be for them to listen to a number you call out and then paint it. Or count and then stop - which number comes next? Paint that number.

While you are painting, take a minute to talk about the color(s) you are using. If it is made from two colors, which two?

What are some things that God created that is that color?‘14 1 2 __ 4 __ 6

“Praise ye the Lord, O give thanks unto the Lord; for He is good, for His mercy endureth forever.”

Psalms 106:1

Hands On

Now that we’ve reached 15, and your child is starting to understand how double digits get larger, we’ll play a new version of BINGO.

Print the BINGO game and cards onto cardstock, and together with your child, talk about the numbers, letters, and colors on the board. You also might want to cover with contact paper for longer durability.

You will notice that each column is a different color, so your child will not only learn letters and numbers, but review colors. This also makes it easier to identify where the numbers are on the board.

Next, cut the number cards. You’ll use these to call out numbers for your child to cover. These will have the same color coding as the letters and numbers on the board.

When you read a card, call out the letter and number that your child should find and cover. They can look at the colors to help them find the right column.

They might need a little prompting the first few times they play, but before long they will have the hang of it!

Review

Review 0-14, and then introduce the number “15”, F-I-F-T-E-E-N, and sign today.

Review how the double digit numbers build upon themselves, getting one number larger each time .

Start with 1-0, then 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4…. What number do you think comes next? 1- (what?). Today we’re learning 1-5, which is the number 15!

Sign Language

To sign 15, make a ten (with your palm facing in, towards your body), and then make a 5 (with your palm facing out).

Hands On

On the packages you made and addressed to “P” people in your P lesson earlier today, you’ll now need write an address to deliver these to.

Write numbers 1 to 15 on the packages, and this will be the door number your child will deliver the package to.

Take sheets of paper, and write 1 to 15 on them (one number on each sheet). Tape these around your house, and these will become houses to deliver packages to. Your child will then match the number on the ‘door’ to the number on the package.

Before you begin, have your child count how many packages they need to deliver. (15) Once they finish, how many are left? (0)

You can also go further with your letter P and have the postman drive these (or pull a wagon), or have the pilot fly them across the sky to the postman, which will deliver them to the homes.

Hands On

In reviewing our letter words today – Queen and Quartz – discuss how royalty is associated with jewels and crowns. Some jewels are very expensive, and only the rich and the rulers have them in abundance.

Today, we’re creating a crown for a queen, decorated with 16 beautiful (artificial) quartz gems! We’ve made a crown before, but this one can be different – it’s a queen’s crown.

*Note – if you have a son, they can make this crown for Mommy, aunt, sister, or grandmother to be ‘queen’.

Take pink or purple construction paper, attaching a 2nd sheet if needed to fit the ‘queen’s’ head. Cut scallops or waves for a more feminine look. Use markers or crayons to decorate if desired.

Next, take a bag of plastic shiny ‘jewels’ (found in craft sections), and have your child count out 16 jewels. Have them glue these on the crown. Once dry, you can enjoy a wonderful time of make believe play!

Today, print out the number puzzle on cardstock and have your child put it together. Print two copies, one for the base/ outline to follow, and the other one being what you will cut up and piece back together.

Have your child help you write the numbers 1 to 16 on the trapezoids on both puzzles – BEFORE you color and cut them. Be sure the same piece has the same number, so they will fit back together correctly.

Point out to your child that once the puzzle is completed it will have the numbers 1 to 16. Have your child point to and say each number in the correct order.

Can your child recognize what shape is often found in their puzzle? This week’s shape – the trapezoid!

Hands On

Today, we’ll review once more how different coins add up to the same amount. Bring out 25 pennies, 6 nickels, 2 dimes, and 1 quarter.

Please be very alert while you have these out with your child, this money WILL fit in their mouth and could be a choking hazard.

Start by counting out 25 pennies and placing them in a row – this is 25 cents. Next, see if your child remembers how many cents a nickel is worth – 5 cents. 5 cents would be 5 pennies. So, every 5 pennies, place a nickel underneath.

Now, how many cents is a dime worth? 10. Ten cents is either 10 pennies or 2 nickels. Move on to the quarter. How many cents is it worth again? 25.

You will see (if you’ve laid everything in perfect rows), that a quarter is worth 25 pennies, 5 nickels, and then 2 dimes + 1 nickel. (You’ll have to add in the nickel.)

Final Review

Take a minute to say and sign each of the numbers you’ve learned so far.

R is for Rich. Being rich can mean having lots of money. Today we’ll practice counting money. You can either use real money (use caution with coins!), or you can draw your own money on cardstock.

Review pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters as well as $1, $5, $10 bills. Make different piles of money, some with a lot of money, and some with a little. Which pile would make someone rich?

When we think of rich people, we think they are happy. But only when rich people love and give from their riches are they truly happy. God wants us to lay our riches at His feet, and realize that they all really belong to Him.

How can we bless God with the riches He’s given us? By giving back to Him (tithe) and by giving to those in need.

How can we bless others with the riches God has given us? Pray together with your child that God would show you a need someone has, and then ‘give’ your child money so they can be a part of helping you meet that need.

It can be something small, such as a sick friend needing a meal or plate of cookies. It can be something a little larger, such a family needing some clothes or toys.

Be sure to point out to your child that it’s not ‘you’ giving of your riches to others, but God working in your lives to share HIS riches with them. When we see things as our own, it’s easy to be selfish – but if we realize that it’s all His, we can give of HIS bounty and our well will never run dry.

Review






Practice drawing “17” and “SEVENTEEN” on a chalkboard, dry erase, or similar item.


Next, review all the numbers and their order by counting one to seventeen, signing each number as you say it’s name.

Hands On: R is for Repent

We know from our A verse, Romans 3:23 that we ALL are sinners. But when we confess our sins, repent, and ask for Jesus to forgive us, He washes ALL of our sins away – leaving NONE!

On strips of paper, write a list of ‘sins’ that your child can come up with. Place them on a large sheet of paper – this is what God sees when He looks at a sinful life. Count how many you have listed.

When we repent and receive God’s forgiveness, He wipes our sins away. (With one sweeping motion, push ALL of the ‘sin’ strips off your paper).

Now when God see us as a repentent, saved child of His, He sees a clean slate. Why? Because we’re forgiven through Jesus Christ and His death for us!

All is many, none is zero! Have a prayer of thankfulness, thanking God for forgiving us of our sins and asking Him to help us live for Him.

Hands On

Print out 18 copies of the Pentagon worksheet. These can be on paper, cardstock, or light colored construction paper.

Next, with your child watching (and talking it through together), write the numbers 0 to 17 - one on each card.

Place these on the floor. When you call a number, have your child run and stand on that pentagon shape.

For older children, you can write the number words on sheets of paper. When you hold it up, have your child say the number word and then ‘find that number’.

Be enthusiastic when they find the correct number! You’ll find they will get excited about learning as you praise them.

After this, reverse roles and let them call out numbers for you to stand on. Once you get on the paper, ask them if you are on the right number.

Try to mess up once in a while and see if they catch your mistake.

Hands On

We talked about S is for Saviour in our ABC lesson today, and then illustrated our lesson with some printable fish. When fish aren’t living in the water, they will die.

When people aren’t living in Christ, part of them dies.

Notice there are 18 fish on the printout for today’s letter lesson. As you cut them out, or your child cuts them out, count each one. Now go back and number each fish, starting with 1.

Just as each fish has a number that identifies it, we have a name that God has given us, marking us. We’re not just another ‘fish in the sea’, but God knows us and has named us! How special is that!

Take turns going fishing in your fish bowl today. As you pull out a fish, say the number that is written on it. Next, starting at 0, count up to that number.

Before it is the next person’s turn, sign the number. If you do all of these correctly, you can keep your fish. If you mess up, then you must throw your fish back.

Whoever has the most fish at the end of the game wins!

• Can you count this many items?



Coloring Worksheet



S is for Supply

We made a Supply Store in our ABC lesson today. Your child drew an inventory supply list, and now they will count how many of each item there is.

Let your child count how many supplies you have on your shelves, and write that number down on the inventory checklist.

5 boxes of spaghetti, 3 slices of bread, 4 pairs of socks, 2 pairs of shoes... lots of S items!

Next, you will need to price each item. This will need to be a dollar amount between $1 and $18.

As a ‘customer’ comes to buy a product, your child will need to count if there are enough of each one to sell. (Maybe they want 6 slices of bread, is there enough?)

Then your child will need to find out how much money is needed (you can help add large numbers), and count the money that is paid.

Pull out the money you made in previous lessons to play with. Happy Shopping!

Hands On

For today’s ABC lesson “T is for Treasure and Trunk”, we learn that we aren’t supposed to store up treaure on earth.

We made a trunk out of an empty cardboard box, and we’ll now use that now for a quick game.

Make 19 coins by tracing the end of a paper towel or toilet tissue roll. You can place the end on some yellow construction paper to trace, and then cut out the circles and place them in the treasure trunk. Does it look like a lot of money?

Questions: “What happens when we go shopping at the store?” We have to spend money.

“What about when we go to the doctor?” We have to pay them and then buy medicine sometimes.

While we might have a lot of money ‘stored up’, it can be gone quickly. If we’ve made money our treasure, we will be disappointed, because it will soon be gone.

Make believe a game of grocery store, or going to the dr., and let your child be the parent. They will be responsible for paying the bills, with their coins. At the end of the day, how much money is left?

Paying the bill will give them the opportunity to count the coins needed to pay (how many more). Counting to see what’s left at the end of the day means they can count again!

What numbers are on a clock? 1 through 12. If you don’t have a wall clock, find a picture of one to show to your child.

Point out how the numbers go in order, and which number goes where. 12 o’clock starts each part of the day – 12 AM is during the night, and 12 PM is in the middle of the day.

Print the Clock Printout, and slide it into a plastic page protector sleeve. This will let you write in different times with a dry erase marker and then wipe it clean to do another time. First, let your child write the numbers in their correct place, one to twelve, which are the hours.

We’ll learn that the long hand tells us the minutes, and the short hand tells the hour. When the minute hand (long one) is on 12, it’s starting the hour which the short hand is pointing to. From there, the minute hand will point to the line with how many minutes it is on each hour.

Let’s stick with hours only. Draw several different times and have your child tell you which time it is each time.

At the bottom of the printout, you’ll notice a digital clock. This might be an easier way to teach time to your child, since this might be all that you use in your home. The numbers to the left of the colon tell the hour, and the numbers to the right tell the minutes.

As you draw a time in on the top clock, write it on the bottom clock as well. Do several first, explaining how it works, then just draw in the time on the top clock and have your child tell you the time and write it in on the bottom clock.

Review

Review the numbers on paper, paying special attention once you add in the tens column. Note the last number follows the same order as single digit numbers.

“1-0 (ten), 1-1 (eleven), 1-2 (twelve), 1-3 (thirteen), 1-4 (fourteen), 1-5 (fifteen), 1-6 (sixteen), 1-7 (seventeen), 1-8 (eighteen)…. , 1-9 (NINETEEN)... What number do you think comes next? Can you have tenteen? No.

Think back to the number 9… what did we do after nine? We took the nine and started over a 0, and added another digit to make 10. We will do the same thing after 1-9, but since we already have the extra digit, we’ll just make it bigger. If we have 1 in the tens column now, what number would be one more? 2 comes after 1, so it would now be 2-0.

This will be easier to understand when it’s written out on paper. 0 to 9 on one line, 10 to 19 on the next, then put 20 underneath the 10. Your child will be able to see how the last number stays the same on each line, and the first number (tens) gets one larger each time.

You have two options:

Take a large bowl or pot of rice or noodles, and hide ‘mystery’ objects in too. Have your child close their eyes and see (feel) “what’s under there”.

You can have several of the same object, such a q-tips or forks, and once they have found them all, let them count them.

They can count how many of each object was ‘under there’ and then count the total number of hidden objects.

For a less messy version, hide groups of mystery items under a blanket. Let your child slip their hand in to feel and guess what’s under there, but no peeking!

Aren’t you glad that we don’t have to try and guess what God says? He has everything we need in order to know and love Him written in the Bible for us.

Today for our number activity, you’re going to make 21 different awards. These can be shaped like trophies, shapes we’ve learned, paper awards, or cut them into ribbon shapes to attach to clothing – or all of these mentioned!

After you’ve made these together, cut them out if necessary, and then count them. Point to each award as you count it.

Play some counting activities where, if you get the answer correct, you receive an award. Continue to give these out this week.

• Count and sign to a certain number

• Count to a certain number on someone else’s fingers

• Jump, hop, or roll over a certain number of times

1Hands On - V is for Vacuum

What does a vacuum do? It sucks up trash on the floor. How is this like God? He takes away the trash (sin) in our lives when we ask Him for forgiveness.

Okay, so maybe you don’t want to pour sand or dirt on your floors for a math lesson, so let’s explore some other options!

Tear or cut some scrap paper in very small pieces, and I mean very small. You’ll probably want to help your child with this, since you’ll need a good bit.

Begin making numbers on the carpet/ floor with the paper pieces, keeping them far enough apart for your vacuum to go in between each one.

Begin calling out numbers to your child, and have them vacuum up that number. Be sure to watch them closely, so they aren’t vacuuming up all the numbers before reaching the correct one.

There’s no way that you could pick up all of those tiny pieces of paper yourself, just as we can’t get rid of our sins ourself. Aren’t you glad that God cleans us up!

Counting in Music

When music is played, it follows the ‘beat’, rhythm, or timing.

Sing the first line of “Jesus Loves Me” and clap your hand once for every word, and twice for the word ‘know’. Can you hear the pattern, or rhythm, made? It’s steady and stays the same, and it’s called the beat of the music.

Experiment clapping different ‘beats’, starting out easy, and see if your child can repeat them correctly. They will have to be very attentive! You can make it a little easier by counting the number of beats out loud.

1 (pause), 2,3,4

or

1,2 (pause), 3, 4.

1Hands On - Counting Vegetables

Make some pretend play vegetables today from construction paper – orange for carrots, green for peas or beans, yellow for corn, etc… Draw at least 5 of each type you choose.

Draw these out on the paper, and cut them out (or have your child do this). Now, let your child place these on the table – in groups. This will give them practice sorting/ matching.

Do they want to sort them by color, by putting them in ABC order, or by favorite to least favorite?

How many different types of vegetables do you have? How many vegetables are in each group? How many vegetables are there altogether?

This will be lots of fun for your preschooler, especially since you made this game yourselves – and together! Hold onto the vegetables for lots of pretend kitchen/ cooking fun!

2Hands On

Play a game of watch and wait. Find objects around your house that operate on time, such as an alarm clock, stopwatch, egg timer…

See how long you can ‘wait’ for the alarm to sound; can your child sit patiently? ‘Watch’ the clock count down. You can begin by trying 1 minute, then 2 minutes – or as long as your child has interest. This is a great way to reinforce the discipline required to sit still and quietly in church! (Attentiveness)

For younger children, you can have them sit still and quiet in the chair while you count – starting by seeing if they can ‘wait’ to your count of 5 or 10, up to 22!

Another game you can play is to have them sit in front of you, and then ‘wait’ and ‘watch’ for you to hold up a number sign. Pop your hand in the air quickly, signing a number 0 to 22, then quickly asking them to tell you the correct number.

Swap roles, let them ‘be the teacher’ and you sit and wait for them to sign a number. Children love having silly time such as this, so be sure to keep it fun.

Review

Pull out the numbers 6-11 in your 123 Book to review today.

Find ways to count up to each number: find 9 hard things in the room, find 7 soft things, knock on the door 11 times, etc...

Practice drawing “22” and “TWENTY- TWO” on a chalkboard, dry erase, or similar item.


Next, review all the numbers and their order by counting one to twenty-two, signing each number as you say it’s name.

Hands On - Review Day

We’ve learned a LOT of numbers now, and today we’re just going to have a review day. Write the number words on index cards and read them together.

After your child recognizes and reads the word, ask them to write the number itself.

It will be easier for younger children if you do these in order 0 to 22, but for older children, give them the extra challenge by mixing up the number order.

Other options besides writing the numbers (writing begins with our letter W this week) would be to use wafers to make the numbers, or white crayons.

You could also make a double W activity, write the numbers on the windows with lipstick or white shaving cream.

Just be sure to explain that this is a school lesson/ craft ONLY!

Whale Memory Match Game

Print and cut out 2 copies of the whale worksheet on cardstock. Write each number (0 to 22) on the back side of the two whales, saying each number as your child watches you write it.

Before you begin the game, ask your child if they can place all of the cards in numerical order. Once they are all lined up, 0 to 22, point to each one as you read the number aloud.

To Play:

Place the number side face down, the whale side will be on top.

When you turn over each card, say the number on the bottom side before turning over the next card. Do the two cards have matching numbers? What number is on the other card?

Play until all cards are gone, and the player with the most cards is the W - winner!‘22

2Hands On - W is for Windows

We have learned about windows in our lessons today. Our eyes are the windows of our bodies, meaning people can see who we are just by looking in our eyes.

With an empty cereal box, draw 22 windows for your ‘house’. Carefully go back and cut the top and bottom lines, as well as straight down the center, which creates shutters for each window.

You can have your child decorate the front of the house or building if you’d like, coloring the siding and shutters.

Now, randomly open some windows and close others. With the lights low, turn on a flashlight inside your box. This will give the impression of lights being on in some of the windows.

Have your child count how many lights in windows they see. Keep changing up the pattern and number of open and closed windows – practicing counting numbers 0 to 22.

If the window is closed, the light can’t shine through, can it? We need to be sure to keep our ‘windows’ open so others can see God’s light shining in our hearts!

X is for X-Ray

In our X lesson, we drew an outline of our bodies on paper or boxes, and then drew in where our bones are.

On your x-ray, count with your child how many bones they drew. A more in-depth option would be to draw 2 bodies, and YOU help your child correctly fill in the 2nd body with bones.

For older children, you can find ‘bone maps’ online, and use them as a reference of where to draw which bones. With younger ones, you could just draw in the major joints and bones that they would know.

Guess how many bones are really in our bodies - do you know? 206! Knowing this is just one more way that we can be amazed at God’s creation.

He knows each bone, and created them all to work together!

Week 24 - Tuesday

Practice drawing “23” and “TWENTY- THREE” on a chalkboard, dry erase, or similar item.


Next, review all the numbers and their order by counting one to twenty-three, signing each number as you say it’s name.

X is in Exit

First of all, how many letters does the word EXIT have? Print the EXIT sign, and let your child color the letters red, just like the real sign. You can actually print multiple copies for the counting activity below.

Walk through your house and place the EXIT signs over each exit. How many exits do you have in your home?

Look carefully, each room will have an exit – the door that lets you go ‘out’ of the room! Don’t forget closets and bathrooms….

Why are exit signs important? If you are in a strange place, an EXIT sign will let you know how to leave the building - helping you avoid getting lost.

Another good reason for the signs is in case of a fire. These signs often light up when used in buildings, and might help you find the way out quickly.

Which exits would be best to use in case of fire in your home?

123 Search Game

Today we will play a game similar to the ABC Search game, only this time you will print and play the 123 Search game.

As you call out numbers, or sign them, encourage your child to find them on the game board. Once they see the number, or number word, X it out (for our letter X this week).

You could also involve color review by asking to use a certain color crayon (or marker) for each box they X off.

Now reverse roles and let your child call out numbers for you. Let them check your work to be sure you X off the correct boxes.

23 X is for Xylophone

Let’s make xylophones – water style! Take 8 glasses (all the same size) and fill them with water. Be sure that each glass has a different water level though, so when it’s played, they each have their own sound.

Line them up according to water height. Find something to use as a mallet. If you choose to use silverware, be aware that if your child hits the glass too hard it might break!

Enjoy playing songs together! For the more confident parents, number your glasses 1 to 8 to play a song you know.

You can tape a small piece of paper to the front of the glass, or stick it to the table in front of the glass. #1 will go on the glass with the most water, #8 on the least full glass.

Follow the number pattern on the next page to play “Jesus Loves Me”. Point to each number as your child plays that glass so they won’t get lost on the page.

Note – the glasses have to be filled to a certain place for the notes to sound right. You’ll just have to adjust the water levels slightly to get them perfect.

Y is for You

We’re going to draw your child again today. Ask them to lie on a large, open box or roll of paper and trace around their body.

Since our number this week is 24, begin by thinking of 24 parts of the body. Ask your child to come up with 24 different things – like hair, eyes, fingers, etc….

Write these things down on a sheet of paper. After they name something, let them draw it in on their “body”. If it’s not one of the 24 things named, then don’t draw it.

How do they look? Do they look like themselves? What is missing? Isn’t it great that when God created us He didn’t leave anything out?

Now you can add more things to your list, then draw them in. How many things were you able to come up with?

Start by making 14 prints and count them together. How many more would you add to make 15 prints? Can your child answer this?

Add one more print and count them all again. Now, how many more prints do you need to make 16 prints? Then 17, 18, and 19?

What happens if some of your prints are yellow, some are other colors, and the paints overlap? Does it make new colors?

Y is for Yellow

Using some of your yellow paint, crayons, or play-doh from your Letter Y lesson, let’s make some numbers today.

Call out random numbers to your child, and give them a chance to make them –offering assistance as needed.

If you are using paints, see how many new colors you can make by adding yellow to another color.

Red + yellow is orange, blue + yellow is green – are there any others? Experiment and see! Then count how many there are.

If you are using play-doh, find different ways to make the numbers. You can make snake rolls to make the numbers, or you can roll the play-doh out flat and use a pencil or toothpick to imprint the numbers with.

Consider lining up your finger or hand prints in the shape of the number 24! You can first write the number with a

pencil as a guide for your child to follow.

Print the Blank Table Worksheet (or draw your own) and slide into a plastic sleeve. At the top of each square, use a dry erase marker to write a number.

In the bottom portion of each square, write a number word. Some squares need to have the same number/ number word, and others need to have mismatched ones.

Have your child circle the squares that “YES” have matching numbers and number words. Have them draw “X” through the squares that “NO”, don’t match.

In one box, draw a picture of the Bible at the top, and a picture of your child at the bottom. Is this correct? Are we supposed to read and obey the Bible? Yes!‘24

Coin Money Review

We have learned about money before – can you remember some of the coins and how much they are worth?

A penny is 1 cent, a nickel is 5 cents, and a dime is 10 cents. There is a coin worth 25 cents; do you know what it is? It’s called a quarter.

Look closely at the quarter and you’ll notice that it’s larger than the other coins we’ve learned so far. One quarter can also be 25 pennies, or 5 nickels, or 2 dimes plus 1 nickel.

Place sets of pennies on a table, in groups of 1, 5, 10, and 25. Ask your child to count each set, and match up the correct coin to each pile.

For example, a set of 10 pennies would have a dime placed with it. What coin would go with the pile of 25 pennies?

We will review numbers 14 - 19 today with the blank square cards. If you have contact paper, cover the cut squares with it, making it reusable.

Should you not have contact paper, just print off extra squares for the game.

Call out a number, 14 to 19, and ask your child to count out that many squares. Now, as they go back to make sure they have the correct amount, ask them to write the numbers on the cards as they count.

You could also go back and add in some other numbers besides 14 - 19 for extra play time.

Z is for Zoo

We learn that Z is for Zoo in our letter lesson today, and we made our own homemade zoo. Who made all of the animals that we find at the zoo? God!

Whether at your local zoo, or your homemade one, count how many of each animal you have. Now count how many animals there are all together. Did you count more or less than 25?

Who in the Bible had a floating zoo? Noah! Do you know how many animals Noah had on the ark? We don’t know exactly how many animals there were in all, but we do know how many of each kind were on the ark.

Find the answer to how many of each kind there were in Genesis 6 and 7.

Noah took some of the clean animals and offered them as a sacrifice to the Lord once they stepped back on dry land. What did God command the rest of the animals to do? He told them to be fruitful and multiply.

Encourage your child to try writing the number words TWENTY-FIVE, twenty-five and then place a large sticker on the 25 page of their 123 book!

Certificate

Print the certificate accompanying this book and fill in their name once they sign, write, and count 25.

Let your child know they’ve done a great job this week and this year, and that you’re proud of that hard work!

Z is for Zebra

Repeating the ABC zebra activity, draw the outline of a zebra on a sheet of white paper. Slide into a plastic sleeve and use a dry erase marker to draw the stripes. For this activity, we will be drawing actual stripes on the zebra.

Using the sign language we’ve learned, sign a number 0 to 25 for your child. Then ask them to draw that many stripes on their zebra.

A variation would be to play this just as your ABC’s, but have them write in 123 numbers as the stripes.

Congratulations on completing the Sonbeams preschool program! I pray you’ve not only learned preschool basics, but have most importantly learned to keep God as your foundation in all learning.

He is in everything, He is everywhere – sometimes we just need to stop and take the time to teach our children how His hand is so deeply involved in every aspect of our lives.

Be Blessed! Mrs. Candace
