Print: The lessons in this Fun Pack are printable, and should print on two pages. All of the craft pages, color pages, posters, iron-on images, accessories, and storyboard pictures are printable, as well. If you are having trouble with them printing the right size, go to your printer's Setup and check the option "fit to page" or "shrink to fit". You can also enlarge pictures in some printers Setup. Smaller storyboards may be easier to handle and store. To make a larger storyboard, enlarge when making a color copy of the pictures onto 17 X 24" cardstock (Kinko's or some office supply stores can do this for you.),

The color illustrations (iron-ons, posters and storyboard pictures) come out really nice if you print them on Premium Glossy Photo Paper, but its certainly not necessary. (This is a thick, cardboard-like paper with a glossy finish). If you don't want to print them on cardstock, you can print them on regular paper and glue the pictures on poster board. Then, you can just use the pictures 1 or two at a time, placing them side by side on the ledge of the chalkboard, or tape them to a bulletin board (please don't use tacks or push pins around young children for safety reasons). If they are to be used as a front and back picture, just put up and take down the pictures when the story tells you to turn over the storyboard.

USING STORYBOARDS: This storyboard has a right and left side, as indicated. (Left means the left side as you are looking at it in front of you). Hint: The characters should always be facing each other). If printing on regular paper, glue onto the correct side of poster board. The story will tell you when to show each picture on the story board. Read over the story ahead of time so you know when to use the storyboard background pictures and stick-on accessories. Keep the story accessory pictures in a manilla envelope and label each envelope. Have them ready to place on the storyboard before telling the story. A puppy puppet or stuffed animal is a fun to use to ask the questions at the end (optional). When telling the stories, read only what is in bold, starting with the Bible Verse. The words in parentheses are notes to you.

Total story time: about 3-1/2 minutes.

GOOD FRIENDS ARE KIND

(Show the story board). Here's a story about Rompy-Dog and Stompy-Dog. We can just call them Rompy and Stompy for short. (Point to Rompy) This is Rompy-Dog. Today Rompy was really excited. He was excited because it was his turn to bring in something for Show-N-Tell. After lunch would be time for Show-N-Tell. It would be his turn to show the class something special and tell them all about it. He could hardly wait. Finally, the time came for Show-N-Tell. Rompy's mom had brought in a big box for Rompy. (Place the box with the lid on, with the bunnies underneath, in Rompy's hands). Rompy carried the box to the front of the class. The box was kind of hard to hold because whatever was inside box was moving around. Everybody wondered what was moving around in the box.

Then Rompy took off the lid and showed the class what was in the box. (take the lid off) Bunnies! Cute fluffy, baby bunnies! Each one was a different color! Rompy took them out of the box one-by-one and let his friends hold them. One was all black. (Take the black one out of the box.) One was all white. (Take the white one out of the box.) One was white with black spots. (Take that one out). The last one was black with white spots. (Take that one out.) Everybody liked holding and petting the little bunnies. His friend, Stompy, really loved the little black bunny. It was his favorite bunny. He just sat there and played with it for a long time. He didn't want to put it down. But, finally the teacher asked Stompy to go back to his seat because now they had to do their ABC lesson. So Stompy helped Rompy put the bunnies back in the box (put them back in). Then they put the lid on (put the lid on), put the box away (take the box & everything in it, off the storyboard), and went back to their seats.

During the lesson, Rompy noticed that Stompy was upset. "What's wrong, Stompy?", he asked. Stompy said, "Well... I can't stop thinking about the little black bunny". Its my favorite! I wanted a little black bunny for my birthday, but my parents got me a bike instead." Rompy felt bad for him and told him, "Well, you know what? You can have the little black bunny. I'll give it to you." Stompy asked, "Really? You would give me the little black bunny? Really-truly?" Rompy laughed a little, "Yes, if your mom will let you keep it, you can have it." Stompy smiled real big because he was sure mom would let him have the bunny. He said, "Thanks Rompy! That was really kind of you. You are a real friend. Thanks a lot!".

So, after class when their parents came to pick them up, Stompy told his mom all about the little bunnies. He told her that Rompy said he would give him the little black bunny if he was allowed to keep it. "Please, mom...please...can I have it?", he begged. Just then Rompy came by with the little black bunny. (place the black bunny in Rompy's hands) Here's the bunny. Are you allowed to have it?" Rompy asked. Stompy's mom answered, "Well, if you promise to take good care of it and feed it every day, you can have it". "Wow! Thanks mom...yes, I'll take really good care of it. I promise." So Rompy gave Stompy the little black bunny. (place the bunny in Stompy's hands). Stompy was so excited! He held the little bunny while he and his mom went to the Pet store to get some bunny food and a bunny-house. Stompy asked if they could buy an extra bag of bunny food to give to Rompy for his bunnies. "That's a good idea! I think he would like that." So they got two bags of bunny food, one for Stompy's bunny and one for Rompy's bunnies (place both bags of bunny food on the story board by Stompy).

Then they took the little bunny home and fed it some of the bunny food and gave it some water (place the bunny down by Stompy's feet, and the bunny dishes in front of it) . Rompy was really kind to give me the bunny." Stompy said. "Yes, it was a very kind thing for Rompy to do!" said mom, and . "Yep", said Stompy, "and now I'm going to do something kind for him too. I'm going to give him food for his bunnies!" (Place one bag of bunny food in Rompy's hands). "Wow! Thanks Stompy!", Rompy said. I needed some more bunny food. Now my bunnies will be very happy". "Glad I could help!", said Stompy. Then they gave each other a big hug. "I can see you two are really good friends now!" said mom. "Yes...he is a real friend - a kind friend; and I like being kind too." said Stompy. THE END.

Bible Verse: Col. 3:12

GOOD FRIENDS ARE KIND TO EACH OTHER

This story is about two little dogs, Rompy-Dog and Stompy-Dog. We can call them Rompy and Stompy for short. Rompy-Dog likes to romp around and tumble a lot. That is why his name is Rompy-Dog. Today Rompy was really excited. He was excited because today it was his turn to bring in something for Show-N-tell. Right now it was play time so he was just doing some sommersaults. After lunch would be show-and-tell. He could hardly wait. He had a hard time sitting through lunch - he was kind of squirmy in his seat. "When was Show-N-Tell?, he thought, "Was it time yet?" Finally, the time came for Show-N-Tell. Rompy's mom had brought in a big box for Rompy's Show-N-Tell. Rompy carried the box to the front of the class. The box was kind of hard to hold because whatever was in the box was moving around. Then somebody whispered, "I hear something move in the box!" And somebody else said, "I wonder what could be in the wiggly box!?"

Finnally Rompy-Dog took off the lid and showed the class what was in the box. Bunnies! Cute fluffy, baby bunnies! Each one was a different color. Rompy took them out of the box one-by-one and let his friends hold them. One was all black. One was all white. The other two were black and white with spots. Rompy's friends liked holding and petting the soft, fluffy little bunnies. One of his friends, Stompy, really loved the little black bunny. It was his favorite bunny. He just sat there and played and played with the special little black bunny for a long time. All of his other friends had gone back to their seats, but Stompy-Dog wanted to keep petting the little black bunny. He liked it so much he didn't want to put it down. But, finally the teacher asked Stompy to go back to his seat because now they had to do their ABC lesson. Hard as it was to let go, Stompy gave back the little bunny to Rompy. Then, he helped Rompy put the little bunnies back in the box. Then they put the lid on, put the box away and went back to their seats.

During the lesson, Rompy-Dog noticed that Stompy-Dog was not paying attention. "What's wrong, Stompy Dog?", he asked. Stompy-Dog looked sad as he told him, "Well, I can't stop thinking about the little black bunny". Its really cute. I wanted a black bunny for my birthday, but my parents got me a bike instead because I wanted a bike too! But, now I wish I had gotten the bunny." Rompy Dog felt bad for him and told him, "Well, you know what? You can have the little black bunny. I'll give it to you!" Stompy Dog asked, "Really? You would give me the little black bunny? Really-truly?" Rompy Dog laughed a little, "Yes, if your mom will let you keep it, you can have it." Stompy Dog smiled really big because he was sure mom would let him have the bunny. He said, "Thanks Rompy! That's really kind of you. You are a real friend. Thanks a lot!".

So, after class when their moms came to pick them up, Stompy told his mom all about Rompy's Show-N-Tell, and the cute little bunnies. He told her all about his favorite bunny - the little black bunny, and how fun it was to play with it. He also told her how Rompy said he would give him the little black bunny if he was allowed to keep it. "Please, mom...please...can I have it?", he begged. Just then Rompy came by with the little black bunny. Here's the little bunny. Are you allowed to have it?" Rompy asked? Stompy's mom answered, "Well, if you promise to take good care of it and feed it every day, you can have it". "Wow! Thanks mom...yes, I'll take really good care of it. I promise." So Rompy gave Stompy the little black bunny. Stompy was so excited! He held the little bunny in his lap while he and his mom went to the Pet store to get some bunny food and a bunny-house. Then Stompy had an idea. He asked his mom if they could buy an extra bag of bunny food to give to Rompy for his three bunnies. "That's a good idea! I think he would like that." So they got two bags of bunny food, one for Stompy's bunny, and one for Rompy's bunnies.

Then they took it home and fed it some of the bunny food and gave it some water. Stompy named his bunny Honey Bunny because Honey is sweet, and that would remind him of the sweet, kind thing Rompy did when he gave him the bunny. "Now I will always remember how kind Rtompy was to give me the bunny." Stompy said. "Yes, it was a very kind thing for Rompy to do, wasn't it?" said mom. "Yep, Stompy replied, "and now I'm going to do something kind for him too. I'm going to give him a bag of bunny food for his bunnies!" "Yes, that's very nice of you. I think he will like that a lot. I can see you two are really good friends now" replied mom. "Yes...he is a real friend, said Stompy, "a kind friend; and I like being kind too." THE END.

(possible answers: gives us food, gives us parents to take care of us, gives us friends, gives us the Bible, saves us, adopts us as his children to be part of his family, etc.). What is a kind thing you can do for someone? (possible answers: give them things they need, be friendly to new kids or shy kids, care about their feelings, etc.)

PRAYER: (Ask the children to bow their heads, close their eyes, fold their hands and repeat the words after you say them. Pause after each phrase marked by an *). * Dear God, Thank you for giving me friends. * Thank you that my friends are kind. * Help me be a good friends to others. * Help me be kind to them too. * In Jesus' name, * Amen
