Lead the children in singing the song "Jesus Loves the Little Children" with motions.
Jesus loves the little children…point up to sky then place hands over heart. All the children of the world… Hold both arms out to side then form a circle for world.
Stranger, friend, and neighbor too…hold one hand up and count to three with fingers, (one finger each: stranger, friend and neighbor)
He loves them all…(He) point up, (loves) hands over heart, (all) both arms out to side,
As He loves you...(He) point up, loves (hands over heart), (you) point to each other. Jesus loves the little children of the world…point up and place hands over heart.
Optional: for additional verses, replace "Jesus loves the little children" with: Verse 2: Jesus died for all the children…form a cross extending arms to each side. Verse 3: Jesus rose for all the children... move arms from sides upward until they are straight toward the sky.
* "Jesus Loves the Little Children" was written by C. Herbert Woolston (1856—1927). The tune was composed by George F. Root. Link to the modern lyrics: https://www.reddit.com/r/Christianity/comments/8x24cd/inclusive_lyrics_to_jesus_loves_the_little/
