Activity

Give each child a Connect the Dots Pattern and a pencil. Lead a discussion as they work on their activity.

What do you think Samuel was thinking after the first two times Eli said that he had not called for him?

What do you think Eli thought when he believed that it was God calling Samuel—was Eli excited, perhaps, or a little afraid? Why?

Was there a time when you believed that God spoke to your heart, possibly when you were sleeping or in a dream?

Discuss what took place in the scene and what happened the next day when Eli asked Samuel about what had happened during the night.

Optional: after connecting the dots to reveal the scene, children may color their pictures.

Let’s say the SuperTruth together: “I will listen to God’s voice and obey Him.”
