After reviewing the story with the student(s), show them the yellow analog clock and a digital clock (on a cell phone, kitchen stove, computer, etc.).
Explain to them that analog clocks have hands on the clock face, while digital clocks show time using just numbers. Further explain to them that analog and digital clocks look different, but they tell the same time.
Ask them to look around the house for different types of clocks.

Bible Story: Esther
Focus: Selflessness
Objective: To understand that God uses Esther to save His people.
Listening Time.
Read Philippians 2:4 to students. Discuss with students how Esther considered the needs of others more than the needs of herself. Tell students that King Ahasuerus and Haman did not know that Esther was a Jew, and therefore she would most likely not have been killed. Remind students that Esther was so brave that she risked her life to go before the king without being invited. Inform students that besides being brave, Esther was also selfless, meaning that she cared more for the Jews than herself.
Please read the make-believe story attached below to the students. (Please see attachment of story via email document)
Ask the following questions:
• Where did Stella and Marie like to play at recess?
• Why did Camille and Nadine usually have to play somewhere else?
• How was Stella going to show selflessness?
Learning Activity: Complete the activity from the Bible textbook on page 58. The students are asked to select a picture and tell a story about how one person is showing selflessness to the other person.
