A toddler-friendly Bible story lesson about letting the Holy Spirit lead us. Based on Galatians 5:25, this joyful summer lesson includes a kite craft, movement game, snack idea, and song — perfect for Sunday School, homeschool, or preschool!

📘 BIBLE THEME:

Letting the Holy Spirit lead us

📖 BIBLE VERSE (TODDLER VERSION):

“Let God’s Spirit lead you.” – Galatians 5:25 (simplified)

🗣️ MAIN POINT TO REPEAT WITH KIDS:

“God helps me fly with Him!”

📖 TODDLER-FRIENDLY STORY:

Kelly the Kite lived in a little shed near the beach.

She dreamed of soaring through the sky with the birds, dancing on the wind, and feeling free.

One day, someone picked her up and carried her outside.

It was her big chance to fly!

The wind began to blow.

Kelly wiggled excitedly.

But instead of waiting, she tugged and twisted, trying to fly all by herself.

“Let go! I want to go my way!” she shouted.

But with a sudden pull — WHOOSH!
Kelly spun in circles… and crashed right into a dune.

She flopped down, dizzy and dusty.

“Oh no,” she whispered. “That didn’t go very well.”

Then she heard a kind voice:
“Kelly, let Me lead.”

It was the wind — soft and gentle.

“If you let Me guide you,” it said,
“you’ll soar higher than you’ve ever dreamed.”

So Kelly stopped tugging.

She let the wind carry her.

Higher and higher she flew — peaceful, joyful, and free!

And from that day on, Kelly remembered:
It’s better to fly with God than to go alone.

🎲 ACTIVITY: KITE TRAIL MOVEMENT GAME

Use streamers or ribbon to create a winding “wind path” on the floor. Let kids pretend to be kites and follow the path.

When they follow the trail, cheer:
“Let God’s Spirit lead you!”

If they go off the path, say:
“Oops! Time to let God guide!”

🎵 SONG TITLE: “LET GOD’S WIND CARRY ME”

(To the tune of “Mary Had a Little Lamb”)

God’s wind helps me fly so high,
Fly so high, fly so high.
God’s wind helps me fly so high,
When I let Him lead me!

I don’t have to go alone,
Go alone, go alone.
I don’t have to go alone—
He is right beside me!

📝 POEM: KELLY’S CHOICE

Kelly tried to fly alone,
But tumbled like a stone.
Then she heard God’s gentle voice,
“Let Me lead — you’ll make a better choice!”
Now she soars up in the sky,
With God’s Spirit lifting high!

🎭 PRETEND PLAY GAME: KITE PARADE

Give each child a pretend kite (real or made from paper) and let them “fly” around the room in a big circle.

Play soft music and have them follow a breeze (teacher waves scarf or fan).
At the end, have them say:
“God leads me and helps me soar!”
