I have attached a Sunday School lesson on the story of Zacchaeus.

Create Curiosity:

Tell the children to look and find the…. ceiling, floor, table, teacher, clock, carpet, etc.

You could look around and see those things. Today, we will learn that God sees us!

Teaching Time: Luke 19

Show your Bible. Say, The Bible tells us about when Jesus was passing through Jericho. Crowds of people lined the street. (Like the Christmas parade. People line the streets to watch the floats and bands go by. Unless you’re in front, it’s hard to see over everyone!)

A man named Zacchaeus wanted to see Jesus. He was short and could not see over everyone else. He ran ahead and climbed up in a tree. He scooted out onto the branch so he could have a bird’s eye view of Jesus when He passed by.

Zacchaeus was a tax collector. That means that his job was to collect money from the people. Sometimes he took too much money from them. When people saw Zacchaeus coming, they usually turned around and went the opposite way!

When Jesus arrived at the place where Zacchaeus was up in the tree, He looked up at him and said, Zacchaeus, come down. I want to visit you at your house today. Zacchaeus hurried down! Wow! Jesus saw him! Jesus told him who He was and how to be saved. Zacchaeus believed. Zacchaeus said, I will give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.”

Craft Corner:

Toilet roll tree

Cut 2 slits into the side of the toilet roll.

Slip a piece of green paper cut like the top of a tree

into the slots. Decorate. Glue Zacchaeus in to the

tree (below).

Sing a Song:

Zacchaeus Was a Wee Little Man

Group Game:

Hidden Pictures Game

Place Post it Notes over a picture and remove one by one. The children should guess the picture.
