The lesson “Dependence on God” further develops the children’s self and social awareness, related to developing Godly character and learning to rely on Him. The children will work together to verbalize at least three areas in their lives where they depend on God for help. Each child will then practice expressing gratitude for God’s love and care. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 9-11 years, and is the 35th lesson in the 2nd year Core Curriculum Set and part of the “Leadership Preparation” unit.
