Note to parent or teacher: Here’s a 20- to 30-minute lesson plan on Jesus’ loving care of His children.

Watch “Jesus’ Little Lambs.” You can download the coloring book and flannelgraph for “Jesus’ Little Lambs,” here.

Read and talk about Psalm 23 with your children. Discuss what a good shepherd will do in order to take care of the sheep in his fold. Compare this to how Jesus takes good care of us.

Memorize Psalm 23. You can do so by listening to this song over the course of the next few days, or by memorizing a verse a day with your child.

Read “Follow Jesus Today.”

Do the activity “Safe in God’s Hand.”

Read “Always by Our Side.” Do the activity listed on the last page.
