Draw a big heart on a large piece of paper. Write the story point above it. Help children cut out people images from magazines and glue them inside the heart. Encourage chil-dren to look for people different from themselves. Repeat the story point as they work. Display the poster.
Say: The Samaritan woman was surprised Jesus spoke to her because He was a Jew. Jews did not like Samaritans. But Jesus is different from other people. Jesus loves all people, and He came to give everyone a free gift: salvation from sin. What makes people special? People are special because God made us in His own im-age. All people are made in God’s image, no matter what color their skin is, where they are from, whether they are a boy or a girl, or how talented they are!
Story Point: Jesus loves all people.

Grades 1 – 4
Activity: Bottle Flip Review Game
Give each child a water bottle. Invite them to take turns flipping a bottle of water, try-ing to land it upside down on its lid or upright on its bottom. When a player lands a flip, ask them a review question. Correct answers earn 5 points for an upright bottle and 10 points for an upside-down bottle:
Where were Jesus and His disciples headed? (Galilee, John 4:3)
In what land did Jesus and His disciples stop at a well? (Samaria, John 4:4-6)
Who came to the well when Jesus was there? (a Samaritan woman, John 4:7)
What did Jesus first say to the woman? (“Give me a drink,” John 4:7)
Why was the woman surprised that Jesus was talking to her? (Jews did not associate with Samaritans, John 4:9)
What did Jesus say He could give the woman? (living water, John 4:10)
What kind of life did Jesus say living water brings? (eternal life, John 4:14)
Who did the woman think Jesus was? (a prophet, John 4:19)
Who did Jesus tell the woman He is? (the Messiah, John 4:26)
Who heard the woman’s testimony and believed? (many Samaritans in her town, John 4:39)
Say: Great job, everyone. When you leave here today, remember that Jesus offers something better than physical water; He gives us Himself. Jesus gives the Holy Spirit to those who believe. We can worship Him as Lord and Savior wherever we are.
