Stand Firm Week 1

Activities for this week

• 3 little challenges for you:

  Can you stand on your right leg for one minute and try not to wobble?!

  Can you now try and repeat this standing on your left leg?

  Now try and stand with both feet on the ground for 1 minute!

  Which was was the easiest? 

   

  Think about going on your bicycle - what do you wear to protect yourself?

  Would you wear flip flops on your feet? Why do you wear helmet?

  We wear the right clothes to protect us and keep us safe!

  God gives us “armour” we can wear so that we can be protected and stand firm, just like you were able to do when you stood with both feet on the ground.

  Ephesians 6:14 says STAND FIRM - just two words here so this should be easy for you to learn!

   

• We will look at each piece of “armour" that God gives in the next few weeks but to help you get ready, why not ask someone in your family to help you get a bag and put in it the “armour” pieces ready for when we hear about them each week….

  Belt - any size or colour will do

  Breastplate - a big piece of cardboard would work!

  Shoes 

  Shield - you could make one!

  Helmet - a bike one or even a colander would work!

  Sword - a small one that maybe you could make too from cardboard

   

• Have a listen to this song and start learning it - we will use it every week while we are learning about the armour

• Have a look at these pictures that show the armour, and maybe colour one to put into your bag with your armour ready for next week! There’s one here and another one here.
