Bible Pets Lessons Overview:
Memory Verse:
“Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” Ephesians 5:1-2
Lessons:
Dog – Just like a dog is loyal to its owner, we should strive to be loyal to God and to other people. Ruth 1, Ruth And Naomi
Cat – Just like cats can be very strong-willed, we should never back down when doing what God has called us to do. Daniel 3:8-30, The Fiery Furnace
Goldfish – Whatever happens, goldfish just keep swimming; we need to learn to be content in every circumstance. Philippians 4:4-13, Content In Every Circumstance
Turtle – Turtles may be slow but they move with determination; we need to stay strong and determined even when things don't go our way. Luke 18:1-8, The Parable of The Persistent Widow
Guinea Pig – Just like guinea pigs are fluffy and soft to touch, we must keep our hearts from becoming hard and let God work in us. Genesis 18:1-15 & 21:1-6, The Birth Of Isaac
Iguana – Iguanas have excellent eyesight, and they remind us that we need to keep our eyes open to, and remember, the amazing things God has done for us. Mark 10:46-52, Jesus Heals Bartimaeus
Snake – The snake has a reputation for being clever; we need to use the brains God gave us to act in smart ways. Luke 4:1-13, The Temptation Of Jesus
Hamster – A hamster is totally dependent on its owner for survival; we need to be totally reliant on God. 1 Kings 17:1-16, Elijah Relies On God
Bunny – Bunnies are social animals who like to be around people and other bunnies; we need to surround ourselves with people who will help us know and serve God. Acts 2:42-47, The Fellowship Of The Believers
Songbird – These birds always have a song on their beaks; similarly, we should always have joy in our hearts. Psalm 98 & Psalm 100, Sing To The Lord
Horse – Horses are strong and can carry heavy loads; we need to give our burdens to God and rely on him to make us strong. Matthew 11:25-30, Rest For The Weary
Parrot – Just like a parrot can imitate the voice of its owner, we should strive to imitate the example of Jesus. Luke 5:1-11, Calling Of The First Disciples

Each Lesson Includes:
- Make It Stick! Parent Sheet - so you can let mom and dad know what kids are learning each week and look like a rockstar teacher who's thought of everything.
- Memory Verse - so that you can make sure kids are getting Scripture in their minds and hearts every single week and you can feel like each lesson was a success even when it seems like 90% of your lesson time is spent saying things like "calm down", "let's be quiet", "hands to yourself!"
- Skit or Puppet Show - so you have a way to easily connect the lesson with your hands-on and visual learners. No drama team? No problem! Just hand the script to the kids. They'll have a blast and think you're the coolest.
- Craft Activity - so you can give kids a physical reminder of the Bible lesson (and give yourself an activity to keep them busy until mom and dad come back!)
- Game - so kids don't leave and say church was BORING! Games are so important to help keep kids engaged. Our large group games always include a "What's The Point" section to help you connect the game to the lesson.
- Large Group Lesson - so you can present the Bible story in a clear and fun way, which means now you can enjoy Saturday nights instead of stressing over putting a lesson together!
- Small-Group Discussion - so you can find out who was paying attention and who was talking to their neighbor. Just kidding, this is a great way for you to build deeper relationships with your kiddos after each lesson, which means you're going to care about them so much you'll cry like a baby when they graduate and go to middle school :(
