Guide to The golden rule for preschoolers

Little JAM Sessions preschool ministry curriculum:

Caregiver’s companion guide to JAM Sessions Golden Rule.

Matthew 7:12a In everything, do to others what you would want them to do to you.

Treat others like you want them to treat you. NOT, treat others like they treat you. If your preschooler can recognize the different between those two concepts and choose the first over the second, they will be following the Golden Rule.

Golden Rule Jesus Session

We use the example of a swing. *This is why they made a swing craft.

We ask them if they are on the swing and someone else has been waiting for a tune, what should they do? They should consider how they would feel if the roles were reversed and ultimately decide to let the other person have a turn. If you have a park or playground near you, this would be a fantastic opportunity to try this out!

Books on the Golden Rule can be found on theStoryGraph.

Golden Rule Art Session

This swing is too cute! We use lots of fine motor skills in this craft: coloring, gluing, threading. All of these are great for the development of your preschooler.

Golden Rule Music Session

In our Music Session, we sang one of our favorite songs and we took turns playing instruments. This sharing reiterates the lesson we just learned.

Music is such a great way to learn concepts, which is why we’ve made the following playlist for you.
