I did this in Bible School recently and included
"game pieces" along with the written words so Mom and Dad
could interact as well. The song is to the tune of "Twinkle
Twinkle Little Star" and goes like this:
See my dark heart stained with sin? I need to ask Jesus in. (black heart)
Jesus died, shed blood for me, (red
heart)
So my dark heart could be clean. (white
heart)
Christ will help me learn and grow. (green heart)
Someday I'll walk streets of gold. (yellow or gold heart)
The game pieces are just small hearts,
cut from construction paper. This year I printed them on the
computer and put words to explain the specific color on each heart.
We lay down the hearts as we sing the song. I have also
"hidden" the hearts in the Bible and have a little one
look through the pages for them. It gives the opportunity for them to
"use" God's Word --- to find the gospel, too! I've
had the little ones participate in a program by holding up BIG
hearts of the appropriate color as we sing the lines of the song.
