Sabbath activities for Children

Series A-2, Ages 7-12

Copyright 2001 by Sharon L. White




Note to parents:

       The following activities are designed to teach, entertain
    and strengthen the hearts of young children. They should
    be printed out and will provide a wonderful resource for
    A Sabbath morning or afternoon.  
       Children will need some guidance and instruction to go
    along with the text.  For younger children, who tire easily,
    it is best to do a little at a time. Perhaps a few pages in
    the morning and then some more in the afternoon.
       There is an easy word search for the younger children and a
    harder search that the whole family can work on.
    The harder search can also be done by an older child,
    providing a great challenge.
          Enjoy! And may our Holy Sabbaths, that our great and
    joyous Elohim (God) has given to us, be a blessing.   


Shalom,

ROMANS 13:11                

“And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time
to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than
when we believed.”

On a separate piece of paper, draw a picture to go with
the numbered directions:

1. Draw a clock        
2. Draw you in your bed
3. Draw you waking up!
4. Draw your family reading the Bible



Salvation - means our rescue, to deliver, health and safety. We have to work hard now, knowing that our “salvation” or “rescue” will come soon. Now is the time to work!

Psalm 57:8

“Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will
awake early.”

On a separate piece of paper, draw a picture to go with
the numbered directions:

1. Draw a harp.
2. Draw the sun coming up in the morning
3. Draw yourself, praying by the bed early in the morning



Psalm 139:18                    

“If I should count them, they are more than the sand: when I awake,
I am still with thee.”

directions:

1. Draw many numbers (count)
2. Draw a person holding sand as it falls back to the ground
3. Draw the sky and people looking up at it, thinking about Elohim (God).

What is more than the sand? It is Elohim's (God's) thoughts!
His precious and beautiful ways!



Ephesians 5:14

“Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light.”

On a separate piece of paper, draw a picture to go with the
numbered directions:

1. Draw a messy house with lazy people sleeping
2. Draw a light coming through the window shining on a Bible on a table.
3. Draw everyone jumping up - awake
4. Draw them cleaning up
5. Draw them smiling and praying





Proverbs 10:5

“He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that
sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.”

On a separate piece of paper, draw a picture to go with the
numbered directions:

1. Draw a boy working in the fields
2. Draw him smiling, holding a barrel of apples
3. Draw a different boy, sleeping under a tree
         with an apple falling on his head.
4. Draw him bringing his Father an empty barrel

Jonah 1:6

“So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, what meanest thou,
O sleeper? Arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think
upon us, that we perish not.”

On a separate piece of paper, draw a picture to go with the
numbered directions:

1. Draw a ship and a storm
2. Draw Jonah sleeping while the captain comes to wake him
3. Draw him getting up and everyone praying
4. Draw yourself awake and working hard for Elohim (God).




James 4:14 and 17
    “Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow.
    For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that
    appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. . .
    Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not,
     to him it is sin.”
               __________________________________________
     Elohim (God) tells us that we don't KNOW what will happen tomorrow.
     Our lives are short and we must be very careful and thankful
     for the time we have.
               
         WORK hard!     Be DILIGENT!
            
    If you know there is something good and kind you can do . . .
    But, instead, you act naughty and DON'T do it, that is a
    terrible SIN!      Do all the good you can today, because
    tomorrow will soon FADE away!
