Advent Activities Day 19 and 20

Advent Activity Day 19- We learned about Daniel and the lions den. Daniel had a big problem (he was thrown into a pit of hungry lions). We did an activity with pepper in a bowl of water. The pepper represented our problems in life. When we stuck our fingers in the bowl, the 'problems' stuck all over our fingers and 'overwhelmed' us. Then we dipped our fingers in dish soap (which represented God's protection) and stuck our fingers back in the bowl. The 'problems' all moved to side of the bowl. They were still there but not bothering us. God's protection helps all of the troubles of life not overwhelm us.

Advent Activity Day 20- We learned about Jonah and how he spent three days in the dark belly of a big fish because he didn't want God to forgive the bad people of Ninevah. And we learned about Jesus also spent three days in a dark tomb. Today we had a lot of fishy fun. We watched Veggie Tales Jonah while eating goldfish crackers and we made a fun fishing game.
