Heroes in the Bible and in our town

Ages 3 to 5 Read and do together · about 15 minutes

Read together

A hero helps others. Ruth stayed with Naomi.

Who helps people in our town?

Do it

1. Tell the short story of Ruth and Naomi (Ruth 1). Ruth said she would not leave, and she cared for Naomi.
2. Name helpers in your town: a nurse, a firefighter, a teacher, a neighbour.
3. Draw one helper and write or say a thank-you.
4. Do one small kind act together this week.

Talk about it

• How did Ruth help Naomi?
• How can we help someone this week?

For the grown-up

Heroes in Scripture and in daily life show what care looks like. The Ruth summary is a labelled paraphrase of Ruth chapter 1. Check it against the text. Everyday helpers are heroes too.
