Step 1: Setup — Gather the kids. Place the mirror in a way that everyone can see it clearly. Keep the placards with pictures facing towards you.

Step 2: Introduction — Begin by explaining the game to the kids. You can say something like: “Hey, kids, are you ready for a fun game called the ‘Mirror Mystery Challenge’?” Let them know that they’ll be guessing what’s on the placards. Emphasize that they can ask questions to figure out what’s on the placard. Promise a small reward or sticker for correct guesses to make it more exciting.

Step 3: Guessing Game — Hold up the first placard with the picture facing you. Ask the kids to take turns guessing what’s on the placard. Encourage them to ask yes-or-no questions like, “Is it an animal?” or “Is it something you can eat?” If a child guesses correctly, reward them with a sticker or a small treat.

Step 4: Keep Guessing — Continue showing different placards, and let the kids take turns guessing. If they can’t guess one, encourage them to keep trying, and move on to the next placard.

Step 5: The Mirror Reveal — After a few rounds of guessing, introduce the mirror as the “Mystery Revealer.” Place one of the placards against the mirror with the picture facing the mirror. Ask the kids if they can guess what’s on the placard now. They should see that the mirror reflects the image, making it easier to guess. Keep playing the guessing game, using the mirror to reveal some placards. Encourage the kids to connect how the mirror helps them see things more clearly, just like they’re trying to understand what’s on the placards.

Wrap up the game by explaining that mirrors show things very clearly because they reflect, just like the placard’s picture.

Once upon a time, there was a man named Philip. He was like a really good friend of Jesus. He spent a lot of time with Jesus, like a buddy, but there was something. Philip didn’t completely understand Jesus. Sometimes, even though we know about someone, like a friend or a teacher, we might not fully understand them, right?

One day, Philip said to Jesus, “I want to see what God looks like. What’s God like?” You see, God is like this incredible superhero, but we can’t see Him with our eyes, like we see our toys or our pets.

Then, Jesus said something really important. He said, “Guess what? If you have seen Me, you have seen God, the Father.” In short, Jesus was saying that He was God. It’s like if your friend suddenly said, “I’m a superhero!” Jesus was saying He’s God in a human form, like a superhero in disguise.

But Jesus didn’t stop there. He said to His other friends, who were called disciples, “I want you to have something called ‘faith.’ Faith is like believing something is true, even if you can’t see it with your eyes. I want you to believe in Me and trust that what I say and do is what God would say and do.”

So, to make it like a fun story: Philip wanted to know what God looked like, and Jesus said, “I am God!” Then, Jesus asked His friends to have faith, which means believing in Him, even though they couldn’t see God with their own eyes. Now, because of Jesus, we can understand what God is like. It’s like having a superhero friend who shows us what God is all about. And that’s how Jesus helps us see and know God better! So, if there is ever anything you want to know about God, then remember to look at Jesus and you will find out all about what God is like because God has revealed Himself to us in Jesus, His Mirror Image.

In our next class, we’ll take a closer look at Jesus to learn more about God and get to know Him better. It’s going to be really exciting!
