  February 6 - 12  ♡   John 2 - 4 " Y e   M u s t B e   B o r n   A g a i n " Heavenly Father loves me, so He gave me a Savior Help each child repeat John 3:16 , replacing the words “the world” with his or her own written name.

While reading each scenario, have the kids decide whether to use the happy face (peacemaker face), or sad face. If a sad face was a result, ask the kids what they could have done to make the situation better an

Discuss each part that the arrow lands on. I colored mine and laminated it. .  Just like there are different parts that make up a hamburger, there are different parts that make up a prayer (you can also use examples like an ice cream sundae, a taco, etc.):  Have the children help put together the pieces of hamburger (prayer) in order. First, we start to talk to Heavenly Father by saying something like: "Dear Heavenly Father"  Next, we thank Him for our blessings - What are some things we can thank Him for?
