📋 Leader Tips
  • Keep activities short — preschoolers do best with 5-10 minute segments
  • Repeat the Bible story point often: little ones learn through repetition
  • Use the Bible story picture on a TV or tablet as you tell the story
  • Have a helper ready for bathroom breaks and wiggly moments
  • End each night with the theme song so kids leave singing
