The Good Samaritan - Song and Activity

Our Bible lesson last week was about the story of the Good Samaritan. Each morning at circle time we read the story from a Bible story book and sang The Good Samaritan Song. I couldn't find a craft that I really wanted to do that day so instead I printed these pictures and then let the kids put bandaids on the poor hurt man. They loved it.

Saturday Michael was able to see the concept of helping someone in need put into action when Doug stopped to help a person who was hurt in parking lot of a store we were shopping at. We talked on the way home about the Good Samaritan and how we are being good Samaritans when we help others.
