Craft: Cup of Living Water<\/strong><\/span>
\nWhite Paper
\nPaper 9-oz. Party Cups
\nCrayons or Colored Paper
\nScissors
\nHole Punch
\nBlue Card Stock
\nYarn<\/p>\n

What to do:
\n1. Before class cut water drop shapes from blue card stock so that they fit inside the cup. Make enough water drops so each craft has enough to write one word of the verse on each water drop.
\n3. Punch holes at the top of each water drop.
\n4. In class have your children string the water drops in order on the string tying each water drop to the string before they add another water drop.
\n5. Have your children color the cup and write the Bible verse on one side. Punch a hole in the bottom of the cup and string the yarn through the hole. Tape the string to the bottom of the cup.

Craft: Woman at the Well Spinning Craft<\/strong><\/span>
\nThis craft is going to be better for 2nd, 3rd and 4th graders because it is semi-complicated. All the instructions as well as the templates are on the website. It is pretty cool but will be time consuming so plan accordingly.

Game: Running on Thirsty (Could be Messy)<\/strong><\/span>
\nTeach children about the woman at the well from John 4.
\nFor this game, every child will need two cups (one with water, one without) and a drinking straw.
\nHave kids stand against one wall, and give each child a straw. Place cups with water on the ground near each child while placing empty cups on the floor about 10 feet away. Demonstrate how to hold water in the straw by dipping it in the cup, plugging the top with a finger, and lifting the straw. On \u201cgo,\u201d give kids 60 seconds to see how much water they can transfer to their empty cups using only their straws.<\/p>\n

When time\u2019s up, read aloud John 4:7-10.<\/p>\n

Then say: Talk about a time you were really thirsty and how you quenched your thirst.<\/p>\n

Read aloud John 4:11-14. Say: The woman drew water at the well, just like you drew water with your straws. Jesus, though, talked about a different kind of water.
\nAsk:
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0What \u201cwater\u201d do you think Jesus talked about?
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0What kinds of \u201cthirsts\u201d do you think Jesus\u2019 water could quench?
\nHold up a cup of water and say: Just like the water the woman got out of the well, the water in this cup will run out but Jesus\u2019 living water never runs out!

Craft\/Food: Refreshing Treat<\/strong><\/span>
\nLet each child choose a bottle of water or juice and give them a long piece of paper and markers to write and decorate the bottle with JESUS GIVES US LIVING WATER. Tape their piece of decorated paper onto the bottle to remember today’s lesson.

Illustration: Crackers and Water (Older Kids)<\/strong><\/span>
\nI need four volunteers to come upfront for a cracker eating challenge. If you want to be picked, you have to like crackers. (Choose four volunteers)
\n(Optional \u2013 During the competition, play a countdown video from freecountdowns.net. Another option is to play upbeat background music.)
\n(Get out the box of saltine crackers. Have children stand near the box. Place four bottles of water near the crackers.)<\/p>\n

The four of you are going to race and see who can eat the most saltine crackers in two minutes. Whoever completely swallows the most crackers wins. You might notice the water bottles near the crackers. Well, you can\u2019t have any water. Sorry. The rest of you in the audience, your job is to cheer for all four of them. Make some noise.
\nReady, set, go!
\nAfter the competition congratulate the winner.<\/p>\n

Say \u2013 I have a question for all four of you. What does your mouth feel like right now? (Get responses) How thirsty are you? (Get responses) What would you think if I said you couldn\u2019t have any water till after church? (Get responses) Well, that wouldn\u2019t be fair of me, would it? I can see you\u2019re very thirsty, so each of you, go ahead and take a bottle of water to drink. Enjoy! You can go back to your seats now.
\n[Volunteers return to their seats]<\/p>\n

**Please play this game carefully.\u00a0 I would suggest that you ask them to finish one cracker be-fore they can go to the next one so they do not stuff too many crackers into their mouths and choke.**<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Unit: God Changes People Session Titles: The Samaritan Woman Life Point: People should treat others with kindness and respect.
