LESSON 16: Hungry Lions
Activity: The Whole World in His Hands
Materials:

Have the children sit in a circle and sing He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands, then pass the ball to one of the children. Sing the song again, singing it with the child’s name in it: For example, He’s got Abby Bryant in His hands… etc. Continue playing until each child has had his name sung as part of the song. Tell the children that the Bible story today is about a man that God took care of, even when he was in great danger!

Place the bible story inside your Bible, put the lions or lion pictures in another room, and put the sign Lion’s Den on the door of the room (ahead of time). Tell the children that you’re going on a lion hunt…Have them clap their hands on their knees for two counts and then together for two counts as you chant: We’re going on a lion hunt…We are not afraid…We’ve got our God…and our Bible by our sides… Continue this and have them follow you as you shine the flashlight ahead of you. Bring them to the lion’s den. Go inside and have them be seated. Tell them not to be afraid. Tell them that God will take care of you.
