Object to Go

Put the backpack on and turn so the children can see it or show the image. If wearing the backpack, remove it and place it on the floor. Lead a discussion with the comments and questions below:

● Do you know what this is? A backpack.

● Have you ever worn one? Where could you see someone wearing one? At school, on the bus, in the park, in the woods, etc.

● What can you carry inside? Clothes, shoes, school supplies, food, water, or toys.

● In today’s video, someone is wearing a backpack. Do you think it is Miss Tina, Gears, Gizmo, Rig, or Widget? Children guess.

● I think some of you guessed correctly! Let’s watch the video now to find out who was wearing a backpack and what they were doing!

Leave the question unanswered until it is revealed in the video.

Today, we are going to catch up with Miss Tina and Gizmo. Gizmo is in a hurry and Miss Tina is slowing him down!

Wax On, Wax On

● Hold up the backpack or Object to Go Image! Who was wearing a backpack? Miss Tina.

● Raise your hand if you guessed correctly. Children respond.

● Why did Miss Tina need to sit down? She needed rest. She was tired, and her feet hurt.

● Who was having a hard time showing patience? Gizmo.

● Why was Gizmo not able to be patient? He was excited to see a rare flower bloom that lasted only a few minutes.

● What three things did Gizmo offer to do for Miss Tina to get her to the flower faster? To fly her using his booster rockets, to push her, to pull her.

● What did Gizmo offer to give Miss Tina if she stopped resting? Cookies, money.

● What caused Gizmo to feel bad and apologize for not showing patience? He remembered they wanted to see the flower together. He didn’t want to leave Miss Tina behind and go alone.

● What went off and made a loud noise inside Gizmo? His alarm clock.

Sometimes when we have a hard time waiting, it may be because we are being selfish. When we think of ourselves more than the needs of others, we can be pushy and say unkind things. Remember, in times like that, we should stop and ask God to give us the strength to be patient!
