Activity
Explain that while we are surrounded by television signals, we cannot see them. In order to see this signal we need a TV to show it to us. Different channels are on different frequencies. Demonstrate the TV set to the children.
Application
A TV in some ways represents Christ. God is all around us but we cannot see him. But Christ came and brought the message of God to all the World in a visible form that people could see. Colossians 1:15-20
Variation or Addition
Demonstrate the use of a balloon or have competitions and games involving balloons. For application, explain that while we are surrounded by air, we cannot see it. When we blow up a balloon, we cannot see the air, but we can see the change it makes in the balloon. In the same way, others may not be able to see Jesus or God around them, but they will be able to see the change he makes in us. (Colossians 3:10)
This activity illustrates the truth that while God is all around us, it is through Christ and other Christians that we are able to see Him.

Hi! I'm a preschool teacher. I was looking for Bible lessons in the internet when I came across your site. I find your site a valuable resource for my Bible lessons. Thank you so much for sharing.
