Funny times in 2 year old Sunday School

Kathy and I teach the 2 year old Sunday School class together. They came to us with very limited vocabularies, some did not speak at all. Now most of them have turned 3 and are becoming very articulate.

Over the past weeks we have talked about the crucifixion and resurrection. We have been singing " God's not dead, NO , He is alive". So one little girl asks if we can sing the "God is not alive song"

Today, we were talking about how when Jesus was finished teaching his disciples, his feet lifted off the ground and he rose, up, up, up in the sky. One little girl said, "You need a helmet when you go into space".

Then I gave them each a paper plate "puzzle" that was cut into 3 pieces. The first one was for the crucifixion, the second for the resurrection and the 3rd for the ascension. I told them to put their puzzles together. One little girl said I don't have a puzzle, just a plate (this one is still only 2 years old), I told her that it IS a puzzle, she said "it looks like a plate to me."

She prays

On Friday, Hannah had a friend spend the night. This friend has ALOT of energy like Hannah, but she is a very sweet girl. I put dinner out and as I was getting drinks, they were huddled together. I asked her if they had just blessed their dinner. She said, "yes, just like we do together at lunch everyday at school." I told her that was wonderful. Hannah said, "We even prayed together on the phone today." "About what?" I asked. "That you would say 'yes' when I asked you if she could spend the night"
