Session: Physical Growth in Preschoolers

Preparation

• Cut slips of paper. Write the physical capabilities or skills for each age level on the slips of paper. The physical capabilities are located in the age-group articles.
  
  
• Ask participants to bring their books or print the age-group articles and make copies: "God Made Babies," "God Made Ones and Twos," "God Made Threes and Fours," and "God Made Kindergartners."

Reflect and Practice

• Open the session with fellowship and prayer.
  
  
• Place the slips of paper on the floor. Ask participants to arrange on the floor the capabilities according to what develops first. Use the articles if necessary.
  
  
• As a group, consider how teachers and parents can help preschoolers develop physically. Review the implications for parents and teachers to identify teaching procedures you need to revise or begin using.
  
  
• Close the session with a season of prayer for these specific preschoolers as well as the physical growth of all of your preschoolers. Remind your participants to read the article(s) for the next session.
