Supplies: Alka Seltzer, Glass of Water
Preparation: Fill up a glass with water.
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point: When God becomes a part of our life, we should be excited!
Illustration: Show the kids the glass of water. Explain to them that when God becomes a part of our life it should change us, give us excitement and joy. This here is an alka seltzer tablet. Watch what happens when I drop it into the glass of water. It is completely changing the water. The water is now moving and bubbling.
Explanation of point: Explain to the boys and girls that the tablet is like when we ask God to be a part of our life. We should change and be different. It is exciting to know that God has a plan for us and we should be jumping around and excited about what God will do in our life. We shouldn’t be able or want to hide what God has done!

Object Lesson | Ball Pit Fun!
Source (Where I saw it): Original
Supplies: Inflatable swimming pool, plastic balls
Preparation: Blow up the swimming pool and fill it with the plastic balls.
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point: God wants us to jump in and be excited!
Illustration: Explain to the kids about the first time someone sees a ball pit. Maybe you look at it and strikes you as something amazing. Now there are different kinds of kids. Some will go over to the ball pit and see everyone else in it, and walk away. It doesn’t interest them at all. Some other kids may go over to the ball pit, pick up a few balls and then slowly get in and try it out. Other kids will go right ahead and jump in without a care in the world (Jump into the ball pit! Probably will have to do some immediate crowd control here as well)
Explanation of point: Explain to the boys and girls that when it comes to a relationship with God, there are the same kinds of people. There are those that want nothing to do with God, there are those who slowly build a relationship with God, and then there are those who basically go bananas! They jump right, and get excited about what God is doing in them and through them. They get so excited they build their relationship with God and then share it with others. They jump all in. God wants us to jump all in, and see the great big plan that He has for us. We need to be excited for God.

Object Lesson | New Toy
Source (Where I saw it): Original
Supplies: A new toy of some kind (make it something exciting)
Preparation: Find a new toy of some kind
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point: We need to be excited about doing things for God!
Illustration: Show the kids your brand new toy. Explain to them how you have waited a really long time to get this toy. (Be really excited about it). Then just put it down and say something like, “Well I guess I will leave it here,” and start to walk away. Some of the kids will ask what you are doing. If not, just ask, “How many of you would leave your brand new toy alone and not play with it?” Of course not! You would play with it all the time! It is the same with us. God has given us talents, and gifts, and yet we don’t use them now in the present. We have different excuses, like we aren’t old enough yet or I’m scared to do something, but if God has given us the ability to do something then He will help us accomplish the task!
Examples of some things kids can do: Pray, Raise money for missions, Help others, etc.
