Jonah
Is it possible for evil people to change? Some say “no”, other’s say “yes!” This week’s Bible lesson will address that very issue as God sends Jonah to the evil-est, mean-est people he knew of…As a response to this lesson, challenge your kids to pray for someone who needs Jesus to turn their life around.

1. Print out the whale pattern and the Jonah patterns onto card stock. You can use plain white paper but will need to stick glue at least three together to make stronger.

Jonah Patterns
2. Try to do one before Home Bible Cass. Fold the tail pattern at the fold lines and punch a hole on the circle.
3. Punch holes in the circle patterns. Place the brad (or utilize a paperclip, make one end straight like a needle then poke it through, then twist so it stays in place) through one of the holes in one circle (This will be the top of the fish) and then through one of the holes in the other circle, and then through the tail. Bend up the bottom circle and place the brad through the opposite hole. Bend down the bottom circle and place the brad through the last hole. Open up the brad.
4. Have your children color the whale and the picture of Jonah, and glue on googly eyes, or utilize stickers.
Hide and Seek
In Action
One person is “it” and they hide somewhere in the house. Everyone else looks for the hidden person. Once found, the “finders” hide with him/her the same location until everyone is found together.
Ask This
Was Jonah able to hide from God?
Why cannot one hide from God?
Pay a few more rounds switching up who is “it.”
