Normally, a farmer doesn’t have just one cow or one pig. They have many of them, so the animals aren’t alone.

In this game, each one of you will be a farm animal that has run away from the farm. As quickly as possible, you’ll work together to find the other animals like you. Just like on the farm, the animals make sounds to “talk” to each other. Let’s practice the animal sounds you’ll need to know.

• Share the sounds for the animals in the game. Then, have kids repeat after you.

• Cow: “Moo”

• Pig: “Oink”

• Horse: “Neigh”

• Sheep: “Baa”

• Rooster: “Cock-a-doodle-doo”

Now that we know what each animal sounds like, it’s time to find out which animal you’ll be. After you draw an animal picture out of the bag, peek at it carefully so no one can see which animal you are. Then, fold it up and hold it in your hand.

• Let everyone draw a slip from the bag. 2 Groups

Inside group stays still, outside group is blindfolded in a larger circle, find your partner

Faith Fact: God helps me when I feel alone.

Main Point: Even when we feel alone, God is right there with us—He listens, helps, and gives us chances to help others too.

Intro: Imagine Being Joseph

Joseph was in prison, far from home. He might’ve felt very alone—but God used him to help others by explaining their dreams! God stayed close to Joseph even in hard times.

Let’s say our Faith Fact together: 👉 God helps me when I feel alone.

1. When I feel alone, I know God is with me.

👉 Show Slide 1

We all feel lonely sometimes—at school, at home, even in crowds. But even when we feel alone, God is always close.

🗣 Example: Your nose! It’s been there all along, even if you didn’t notice it. Just like that, God is with us even when we don’t see Him.

📖 Bible Verse:

“Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.” — Isaiah 41:10a (NLT)

When you feel alone, think about times God helped you before, and pray. Ask Him to show you He’s near.

2. When I feel alone, I can talk to God.

👉 Show Slide 2

Going somewhere new—like a school, church, or class—can make you feel alone. But it’s easier with a friend, right? The good news is, God is your forever friend, and you can talk to Him anytime.

📖 Bible Verse:

“The Lord is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him in truth.” — Psalm 145:18 (NLT)

God wants to hear from you. Talking to Him can bring you peace, even when you’re by yourself.

3. When I feel alone, I can still help others.

👉 Show Slide 3

Joseph helped others in prison even when he was lonely. He helped the baker and cupbearer understand their dreams.

🗣 Example: You’re having a bad day and feel left out, but you see someone fall. Should you help them? YES! God can use you even when you feel down.

📖 Bible Verse:

“Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.” — Philippians 2:4 (NLT)

When we help others, we show God’s love—and sometimes we even make new friends!
