If Jesus Came to My School: A 5-Day Kids Reading PlanSample

Jesus was kind.
Jesus said that whatever we want others to do to us, we should do the same to them. This means that if we want others to notice us, we should notice them first. If we hope our classmates can be friendly with us, we can start by being friendly to them first. If we want our classmates to be kind, it’s great to start by extending kindness first. Jesus said we should consider how we would like to be treated and treat others the same. Isn’t that a wonderful way to show love to others?
I can be His hands and feet
To spread His love to all
I can share and help and give
So no one feels too small!
Question & Activity:
Take a look at the list of your classmates from yesterday. What is one kind thing you can do for each of them at school? Is there a new classmate that you can say, “Hi!” to? Have you noticed someone sitting alone whom you can invite to play a game with you? Can you share a special snack at lunch with someone new?
Prayer:
Jesus, thank You for Your kindness. Help me treat others how I would want to be treated.
Scripture
About this Plan

As we send our children to school each day, we know they will have the opportunity to be salt and light in their classrooms for Jesus. Inspired by April Graney’s picture book, If Jesus Came to My School, this devotional walks through how Jesus loved and served people on this earth, encouraging children to treat their classmates with kindness and love while pointing them to Jesus.
