等孩子(10分钟)
手工｜纸链 第1部分
提供大量预先剪好的不同颜色的纸条。纸条宽约1英寸，长约8英寸。孩子们到场时，让他们自己制作多彩的纸链。将一个纸条弯成一个圈，将两端粘合在一起。然后，将下一个纸条穿过第一个圈，将两端粘合以形成链的下一个环节。继续这样，直到时间允许。等每个人到场后，帮孩子们将他们完成的部分链接在一起，形成一个长链，将其展示在教室里。在某个时刻，统计总环节数。在结束活动时，使用此数字。
在制链的过程中，请孩子们提出可以使用链的不同方式。例如，项链、连接秋千、拖车等。如果孩子们没有提到，务必说说我们今天的圣经故事，关于两个爱主耶稣的人，他们带有脚镣被关进监狱。
开头的祷告(5分钟)
参见：开头的祷告
经节(8分钟)
“我要一生向耶和华唱诗；我还活的时候，要向我神歌颂。” -诗篇104:33
根据班级的年龄和能力，仅使用此经文的第一部分或整个经文。让孩子们重复这段经文几次，但每次使用不同的声音。例如，他们可以用婴儿、机器人、大猩猩、怪物或花栗鼠的声音重复这段经文。他们将在学习经文的同时享受创造不同声音的乐趣。
故事(15分钟)
围绕你集合孩子们准备听故事。在介绍之后，读下面的儿童版故事。作为备选，可以直接从圣经中读保罗和西拉在监狱里的故事。
介绍：
谁还记得我们上一堂课讲到保罗发生了什么事吗？是的，他处于被杀的危险之中，所以他的朋友帮助他通过一个篮子降到城外。现在，保罗来到腓立比，在那里他遇到了一位被邪灵附身的女孩。保罗帮助了这个女孩，但不知怎么的，他还是被关进了监狱。让我们读今天的故事，看看发生了什么事。
（备选）读 使徒行传16:16-34
问题讨论：
1.保罗和西拉为什么被关进监狱？（那位占卜女的主人因为他们毁了她们的生意而对他们感到愤怒。）
2.看守为什么把保罗和西拉带到监狱深处？（为了防止他们逃跑。）
3.看守给保罗和西拉的脚上加了什么东西？（锁链或脚镣，也叫做枷锁。）
4.保罗和西拉在监狱里做了什么？（他们唱歌赞美神。）
5.什么使监狱震动并打开监狱门？（一场地震。）
6.犯人们逃走了吗？（没有。）
7.保罗和西拉为什么去看守的家？（为了与他和他的家分享主的话。）
8.为什么保罗和西拉在监狱里仍能唱歌并赞美神？（他们知道神爱他们，耶稣是他们生命的主。）
趣味时光(10分钟)
备选-趣味时光(15分钟)
结尾的祷告/点心时间(10分钟)
参见：结尾的祷告
如果趣味时间选用了手工，剩下的饼干或椒盐脆饼可以是一个不错的点心。否则，任何小吃都可以。首先感谢神，感谢祂为我们提供了美味的食物。
让孩子们想象其他不那么幸运的儿童，他们甚至因没有食物而不得不跳过一餐。这些情况下的孩子是否有可能感恩并向主唱歌？为什么？还能想到哪些其他情况下唱歌赞美神会感到困难吗？
结束时的活动(5-10分钟)
这个活动将帮助孩子记住圣经故事。向孩子们朗读活动页的说明，"圈出与今天关于保罗和西拉在狱中唱歌的故事相关的图片, 在不属于的图片上画一个X"。解释他们需要做什么。音符（代表歌唱）、带钱的女孩、脚镣和监狱属于。足球、狗和鲸鱼不属于。
手工｜纸链 第1部分
将链子从展示上取下，将总链接数除以班级中的孩子人数加1, 来将链子分成相等的部分。例如，如果总链接数为102，你有10个孩子，将102除以11，每个孩子将获得一个包含9个链接的纸链。（102/11=9.3）孩子们离开时，给他们一段链子，作为今天课程的纪念。
下节课
下周，我们的朋友保罗将登上前往罗马的船。下周回来，看看他是否安全到达。

THE APOSTLE PAUL
LESSON 3: SINGING IN JAIL
In this lesson, Paul continues to tell others that Jesus is wonderful. However, some people don't like what he is doing and lock him and his friend Silas in jail. Children discover that even during hard times, they can still sing and have joy in their hearts because of Jesus.
TOPICS Apostles, Paul, Joy, Praise, Worship
AS KIDS ARRIVE (10 minutes) Paper Chains (Craft) Part 1 Provide plenty of pre-cut strips of different colored paper. The strips should be about 1 inch wide and eight inches long. As the children arrive, have them create their own colorful chain. Start by bending one strip into a circle and glue the ends together. Then, loop the next strip through the first and glue the ends to form another link to the chain. Continue in this fashion to make as long of a chain as time allows. After everyone arrives, help the kids link their completed sections together to make one long chain, and display it in the classroom. At some point, count the number of total links. You will use this number later during the closing activities. While working on the chain, ask the children to mention different ways one can use a chain. For example, a necklace, to attach a swing, to tow a car, etc. If the children do not bring it up, be sure to mention that you can also use a chain to keep someone from getting away, like in jail. Let them know that our Bible story today is about two people who loved Jesus, but were locked up in jail with chains around their feet.
WORSHIP TIME (5 minutes) Further info? Click here BIBLE VERSE (8 minutes) I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. Psalm 104:33 NIV Use either the first part of this verse only or the entire verse depending on the age and ability of your class. Have the kids repeat the verse and reference several times but each time using a different voice. For example, they can repeat the verse using the voice of a baby, a robot, a gorilla, a monster, or a chipmunk. They will have fun creating the different voices while learning the verse at the same time. BIBLE STORY (15 minutes) Gather the children around you for story time. After the introduction, read the children's version of the story below. As an option, you can read the story about Paul and Silas in prison directly from the Bible. Introduction: Does anyone remember what happened to Paul in our last lesson? Yes, he was in danger of being killed, so his friends helped him escape the city by lowering him in a basket over the wall. Now, Paul is in the city of Philippi where he is met up with a girl cursed by an evil spirit. Paul helps the girl, but somehow still ends up in jail. Let's read our story for today and find out what happened. Joy and Singing in Jail (Story) Click here (Option) Read Acts 16:16-34 Discussion Questions: 1. Why were Paul and Silas thrown into Jail? (The owners of the slave girl were mad at them for ruining their business.) 2. Why did the jailer take Paul and Silas deep inside the prison? (So they would not escape.) 3. What did the jailer put around the feet of Paul and Silas? (Chains or leg irons, also called stocks.) 4. What did Paul and Silas do while they were in jail? (They sang songs and praised God.) 5. What shook the prison and caused the jail doors to open? (An earthquake.) 6. Did the prisoners escape? (No.) 7. Why did Paul and Silas go to the jailer's house? (To share the word of the Lord with him and his household.) 8. Why were Paul and Silas able to sing and give praise to God even when they were in jail? (They knew God loved them and Jesus was Lord of their life.)
FUN TIME (10 minutes) Rumble, Crumble (Game) Click here
ALTERNATE FUN TIME (15 minutes) Joyful Jail Treat (Craft) Click here
PRAYER/SNACK (10 minutes) Further info? Click here If you used the craft idea, leftover crackers or pretzels can make a great snack. Otherwise any treat will do. Be sure to thank God first for providing all of the wonderful tasty things we have to eat. Have the kids think about other children who may be less fortunate and may even have to skip a meal because there is no food available. Is it possible for children in those conditions to be thankful and sing to the Lord? Why? What other times can you think of when it would be difficult to sing and give praise to God?
CLOSING ACTIVITIES (5-10 minutes) What Belongs? (Activity) Click here This activity will help the children remember the Bible story. Read the top of the activity page to the children and explain what they need to do. The musical notes (representing singing), the girl with the money, the leg iron, and jail cell belong. The football, dog, and whale do not belong. Paper Chains (Craft) Part 2 Take the chain down from display and cut the chain into equal sections by dividing the total number of links by the number of children in the class plus one. For example, if the total number of links is 102 and you have 10 kids, divide 102 by 11 and each child will get a short chain consisting of 9 links with some left over. (102/11=9.3) As the children leave, give them a section of chain as a reminder of today's lesson.
NEXT WEEK Next week our friend Paul is aboard a ship sailing for Rome. You must come back next week to find out if he made it there safely.
