Source (Where I saw it): Original
Supplies: Cup, Popsicle Stick, Kool-aid, Water
Preparation: Gather supplies
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point: Prayer is powerful if we do it!
Illustration: Show the kids the supplies to make a popsicle. Ask the kids if they like popsicles, and if they have ever made their own. Show them the supplies and explain that all they need to make a popsicle is right here. All you have to do is put them together, but if I leave them like this I will never see the popsicle.
Explanation of point: Explain to the boys and girls that it is the same way with prayer. God wants us to be proactive and to ask and pray to Him. There are some amazing things that can happen if we have faith and pray. If we don’t pray who knows what we are missing out on!

Object Lesson | Cap Gun
Source (Where I saw it): Original
Supplies: Loaded Cap Gun
Preparation: Make sure the cap gun is loaded
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point: Prayer is powerful if we do it!
Illustration: Show the kids the cap gun. Ask them if any of them have ever used one. Explain to them that if you take the time to load the cap gun and then pull the trigger it can be very loud and a great toy. If you do not pull the trigger, there won’t be a loud powerful noise though.
Explanation of point: Explain to the boys and girls that prayer is the same way. If we believe and have faith that God can do miracles and that prayer is powerful it is like we are a loaded cap gun. The next part is actually pulling the trigger, which is prayer. Amazing things can happen when we pray, but so many people don’t! Take the time to pray!

Object Lesson | Different Chair
Source (Where I saw it): Original
Supplies: Different seat from others in the room
Preparation: Make sure to have a different kind of chair in the room from the beginning. A comfy chair would be perfect because then all the kids will want to try and sit in it.
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point: We should stand out from the world
Illustration: Ask the kids who noticed that one of the chairs in the room were different than the others. Ask them who wanted to sit in that one during service? Ask them why. Most of the answers will be things like the chair is different, or comfy, or special, etc.
Explanation of point: Explain to the boys and girls that it is easy to notice that chair b/c it is very different from the other chairs in the room. Our lives should be the same way. When you are with your friends, or in school surrounded by people do you stand out? Are you any different? Our actions, and speech should make us different. The fact that we love God and have a relationship with Him should set us a part. We should treat others with respect and let God’s love flow through us. So the question is are you different?

Object Lesson | Out of Place
Source (Where I saw it): Original, although the idea came from the classic Sesame Street segment
Supplies: Powerpoint with different pictures on each slide. 3 should be alike and 1 different. If you don’t have this capability, grabbing various objects will work too.
Preparation: Make the slideshow.
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point: We should be different!
Illustration: Go through the slides with the kids and let them figure out which of the pictures doesn’t belong.
Explanation of point: Explain to the boys and girls that we should stand out among other people too. If we really have a relationship with God, then our actions and words should make us seem different than others. What we do should show God’s love to those around us. We should be different!
