I’m Happy When I Serve! service with a smile badge
OBJECTIVE: The lesson helps children understand that they can show love for Jesus Christ by serving others.
ACTIVITY: Service with a Smile Badge
Children can turn the smile wheel on the badge upside-down when they are not serving or helping others, or right-side up when they serve others. This shows that serving others makes them happy, us happy, and Jesus happy too. Help children say together, “I’m happy when I serve.” Sing the song “When We’re Helping, “ p. 198 Children’s Songbook.
TO MAKE: Print or copy, color, and cut out the activity on cardstock paper. Poke a hole in badge where indicated and on the nose, and insert a metal or button brad. To make a button brad, sew two buttons together on opposite sides (threading thread through the same hole) to attach parts.
THOUGHT TREAT: Service with a Smile Sandwich. Make a sandwich with a cheese smile to remind them to smile when they serve.
