Prodigal Son Lesson Plan (B1-L19)

Warm-up

Have the kids think of a time they had done something wrong and their parents found out and how they became “ok” again with their parents.  Have a couple kids share if they wish – if no kids are willing to share, be willing to share a story yourself.

Lesson Time

Bring dolls/toys representing “Father”, “Younger Son”, “Elder Son”, “Friends”, “Farmer”, “Coins”, and “Cow”.  (For example use a Mickey mouse doll for son, etc..)

Use the toys to retell the story of the prodigal son.

Topics to emphasize:

  • Talk about “repentance” (ie. the young son had to “turn back” to his father.)
  • Jesus tells us this story to show how much God loves us and how willing for forgive.
    • The father ran to see his son.
  • Ask who the kids feel like they are most like in the story.  Remind them how God want’s us to be like the father.
