Grandparents Day Message
Say: Grandparents and grandchildren have always been special to each other—even way back in Bible times. Listen to this Bible story about a grandfather named Jacob, a son named Joseph, and two grandsons. Read Genesis 48:8-16.
Say: Jacob blessed his grandchildren. When we “bless” people, we make them happy.
Ask:
- What are some ways grandparents bless kids?
- What are some ways kids bless grandparents?
Say: Let’s bless our grandparents, or other older adults who are special to us. Give each child a pen and a colorful sheet of paper. First trace your hand on your paper. Above your hand, write “Hands down, you’re the best!” Help younger children write.
