Crafts

This idea can be found at Danielle's Place - Jesus Heals the Sick and could be adapted for this parable. Print out Making Friends or B illyBear4Kids Paperdolls (look towards the bottom of the page for children) and stick bandaids on them like sick children. Talk about the things we could do to help those who have been hurt and/or are sick. Alternatively use paper dolls to create a picture of how children can be kind to others (giving flowers, sharing toys, being friends with someone others are teasing etc.)
DLTK-Kids has some father's day frames of which the Home Sweet Home frame could be adapted for this parable. Place a picture of Jesus rather than Dad in a window along with child's photo (or drawing). Write (or glue) at the top "Who is My Neighbour?" and find pictures of the sick, needy, people from mission fields etc. and discuss the things we can do to help others.
