Jesus Teaches Me to Repent and Obey: Home Ideas

Here are some simple ideas, on this blessed Monday morning, to do at home with your child for the week of January 11, 2015.  Our lesson this weeks is from Matthew 3:1-17, Luke 3:1-22, and John 1:19-34.

  • Read the story of John the Baptist and the baptism of Jesus in your child's Bible Story book.

  • Use waterproof dolls or figurines in the bathtub to act out the story of the baptism of Jesus with your child.


  • When correcting or disciplining your child, remind them that the Bible says disobedience is sin.  Pray with them to repent and follow Jesus.  Discuss how they should behave if they are following Jesus.

  • We used a stop sign and a green light in class to illustrate the concept of what it means to repent.  Draw a large octagon (the shape of a stop sign) on a piece of paper.  Give your child popsicle sticks to lay on top of the shape you drew, and help them count the number of sides.  Continue drawing, creating shapes with popsicle sticks, and counting the number of sides.
Have a blessed week!
