David was chosen to be King by God. Now God had a purpose for David just like he has a purpose for us to. Why not explore this event more by looking at Samuel annoints David for some questions, prayers and activities that you could do.
A big noise
In this play and pray session its all about making some noise! Play and pray gives children a chance to play but also explore God using toys and everyday items from home.
Whilst playing and making some noise you may want to listen to some music or even talk about some of the following questions;
- If all the animals shouted for joy at the same time what would it sound like?
- Do you think that grass can shout?
- What makes you want to shout for joy?
S.O.R.R.Y
Some words can be hard for us to say and that can include saying sorry. Even though it can be tricky to say it’s really important for us to say but God can help us to say the word and really mean it.
Sorry wall prayers
There are lots of times in the Bible where people built different things, including walls. If you need to say sorry to God for something, then why not try building or drawing your own sorry wall.
God is
We can worship God in all sorts of ways including getting out paints or art materials at home. Why not try exploring and finishing the phrase God is.
When we hold on to God we do not have to be shaken because he holds us in his hands.
Acts of Jesus – Walking on water
One time, Jesus and Peter walked on water (Matthew 14:22-33). Just like Peter we might have doubts and questions but in those times Jesus reaches out to us.

Quiet time
We all need to spend time with God getting to know him just like we do with our friends. It’s important that when we talk to God that we allow God to speak back to us. We can do this by being quiet, reading the Bible, listening to music. But what is God saying to you today?
