Monthly Focus: God Says I Can Be A Good Friend!
Bible Story: David and Jonathan | 1 Samuel 18-20
Weekend Activity: Run and Hide game activity

Grab three foam spears or soft darts and gather your family together. Explain King Saul got very mad at David. But Jonathan kept David safe and told him to hide! Jonathan was a good friend! Say, “King Saul is angry! Everyone run and hide!”As your family runs and hides, use the three foam spears and gently throw them at your family. After all three spears have been thrown, encourage your family to return to you and bring the spears. Say, “Good job hiding, friends! Jonathan was a good friend and helped keep David safe. We can be good friends, too!” Encourage your family to repeat after you, “I can be a good friend!”

Repeat a few times, allowing different family members to throw the spears. Each time say, “King Saul is angry! Everyone run and hide! Good job hiding, friends! Jonathan was a good friend and helped keep David safe. We can be good friends, too!” Encourage your family to repeat after you, “I can be a good friend!”
