– During the Activity: Encourage your child to color their activity page. 
– After the Activity: Review the Bible story.

WHAT YOU SAY:
– Before the Activity: “Sometimes we have questions that we don’t have the answer for, so we ask our teachers, a parent, or even a friend. In our story today, we heard about a lady named Deborah who people would go to and get their questions answered.” 
– During the Activity: “Look on your paper. There’s Deborah! (Pause.) Color the picture of Deborah on your page. (Pause.) Deborah was the leader of all God’s people. She was their judge. People would go to her and ask her their big questions. Draw question marks all around the picture of Deborah. (Pause.) Great job.” 
– After the Activity: “Deborah knew that God was with her. She trusted God to help her be wise and tell the people the right thing to do. God can help us be wise, too. Like when you and your friend want to play with the same toy, you can be wise and remember that God wants us to love others by sharing. Or when your little brother knocks over your blocks, you can be wise and use kind words instead of yelling at him. When you see someone get hurt, you can be wise and remember that God wants us to help people. God was with Deborah and helped her be wise. God is always with you, and He will help you be wise and do the right thing, too. Who is always with you?” (God is always with me.)
