Incredible Me!
Identity Bible Lessons for Kids

INCREDIBLE ME! ... One of the greatest difficulties for kids (as well as adults) in this world we live in is our identity.  The world wants to mold and conform us. When we don't feel like we fit the "norm", we feel left out, invaluable, unloved and down right "weird"!  Well....they say fifty is the new thirty…so we are going to say that “weird” is the new cool! Not weird as in "look at me and how strange I can be", but as in unique...one of a kind...Incredible Me!

We all would love to see ourselves as a "super hero"!  Well, the real Super Man was "just" Clark Kent; the real Spider Man was "just" Peter Parker, etc.  - ordinary people with supernatural gifts/abilities.  God uses ordinary, unexpected people to do extraordinary spectacular feats!  The disciples were a motley crew that Jesus empowered to turn the world upside down, and He is able to do the same with us!

God did not create us to be a bunch of minions that look alike and live just to find an evil master to serve.  We are each a masterpiece created by the Creator of all to be uniquely who He has called us to be....His children.

Our focal verse for memory is Psalm 139:14, “I am fearfully and wonderfully made!”   Each of these Bible lessons for kids focuses on a special aspect of what our identity becomes when we trust Jesus.

"Incredible Me" was our theme for our kids' camp last year, and these are the lessons I wrote for it.  Feel free to use them at no cost, but please do not publish, copy or distribute in any way except for your small group.  Thanks!

"Incredible Me" Lesson Plans:

These Bible lessons for kids begin with Psalm 139 and incorporate the personal name of God as given to Moses - "I am that I am."  Each Bible character is in the lineage of Jesus pointing to the fact of how God uses His family, His children...US!

  1. "I am Created" - I am incredible because God created me in His image!  Includes Bible verses from Psalm 139, Genesis & John with an object lesson & game!
  2. "I am Chosen" -  I am incredible because God loves me and has made a way for me to choose Him! A salvation focused lesson based on the life of David and how he was chosen but also chose God.
  3. "I am Christ's" - I am incredible because with Jesus I am never alone; He is always with me and makes me a part of God's family!  Based on the story of Ruth and Boaz.
  4. "I am Called" - I am incredible because God has a plan & purpose for my life! This is shown through the life of John the Baptist.  We make Jesus known to others!

Snack Ideas

Just about anything yellow that a Minion eye can be attached to can become great themed kid snacks!

  • Yellow Cups - Yellow paper or Solo cups can easily become a Minion snack holder filled with popcorn, trail mix, goldfish, etc.!
  • Banana Minions - attach an eye to a banana and cover the bottom with blue felt and "voila" ...you have a fun minion snack!
  • Pudding/Jello Cups - One of my favorite though and probably easiest is attaching Minion eyes to Jello vanilla pudding cups or lemon jello cups!  ICanTeachMyChild.com offers great instructions and free printable!


Incredible Me Devotions

We printed and put together individual Bible devotional packets for each student with morning devotions that pertained to each day's Bible lesson.  At the end of the week we added nine more devotional lessons for them to continue in their quiet times after they had gone home.


Special note: We do preview the websites to which we link, but are unable to peruse them completely. We try to check others' faith statements and make sure they do profess Jesus Christ as God's Son and salvation is found only in Him. It must, however, be your responsibility to personally dig into God's Word and allow the Holy Spirit to be your first and final teacher on all subjects.
