Little LESSON LIFESAVER Activity
Ears are such a blessing!
(poster or coloring page)
OBJECTIVE: Help children appreciate their ears and what they can do.
POSTER ACTIVITY – My Ears are such a Blessing
1. Print or copy the activity poster to color.
2. Talk about the poster (or coloring page), saying, “My ears are such a blessing! Hear yourself buzz like a bee, ding like a bell, and sing a happy song!”
• Have sounds for children to hear and guess what they are (e.g., wind, buzz, can opening, bell or cell phone ringing, the voice of a mother or father calling).
• Take children for a walk around the church to listen for the sounds of nature: birds singing, bees buzzing, wind blowing, etc. Then sit on the lawn and sing a nature song (see below).
3. Talk about the Home Activity: “Let’s experience the many wonderful sounds that our ears can hear. Let’s listen to music together, hear a songbird, or hear the words ‘I love you.’”
THOUGHT TREAT: Crack, snap, and crunchy snacks. Share food that makes a sound when opened or eaten, like cracking a nut, snapping open a banana, or the crunching of cereal when you chew it. Listen for the sounds. Have children listen as you pour water into their cups. Ask them to be quiet before you make the sounds so all can hear. As they eat, have them listen for more sounds: knocking, pounding, clapping, etc.
