📖 How to use this app (1 minute, read first)
Type in the name the class voted for last week — the app uses it on every page.
Tap Full Screen, then Let's Start! — 11 pages. Next with the green Next ➡ button or the → key.
Real games with right/wrong answers: Find the Lamb, Shepherd Thumbs, Count the Flock, Story in Order, Shepherd Quiz and the Magic Painting. Let a different child take each turn.
The app supports the Leader's Guide (pp. 37–42); the tents, the puppet, the paint and the baby bottle are still the lesson. The pages follow the lesson plan's order (the painting comes straight after the story).
🔍 Oh no! Our lamb is lost!
Which bush is the little lamb hiding behind? Tap to look!
Leader's Guide · Gather the Flock (5 min) — hide the real puppet before they arrive and let them find it first. Then the puppet greets each child by name. This screen is for a second round.
👍 What Does a Shepherd Do?
Thumbs UP if it's true. Thumbs DOWN if it's silly!
Leader's Guide · Lamb Tales — show a picture of a shepherd first: he feeds the lambs, cuts their wool, and finds them when they're lost. Then play this.
Question 1
🧑🌾
Ready?
📖 David the Shepherd Boy
A true story from the Bible — 1 Samuel 16–17 & Psalm 23
Leader's Guide · Lamb Tales (10 min) — read the printed read-aloud-david-shepherd.pdf, or tell it from here. Purple lines are the class's cue to join in — roars, growls and baas!
🔢 Count the Flock
Tap each sheep to count them!
A good shepherd counts his sheep every night — that's how he knew one was missing. Count out loud together as each child taps.
🃏 Tell the Story in Order
What happened FIRST? Tap them in order!
The story of David the Shepherd Boy — same pictures as the printed story-cards.pdf. Do it on the floor with the cards, then here, or both.
🗣️ The Shepherd Says
Only move if the shepherd says so!
Leader's Guide · Activity 2 (15 min) — children behind the tape line, an adult holding the lamb puppet several feet away. Say a child's name, then read the command. If there's no "the shepherd says", nobody moves!

Press the button!
⛺ How Did Shepherds Live?
Pick the right one — and build our shepherd's camp!
Leader's Guide · Activity 1 — Shepherd Dress-up (15 min). Play this before they dress up, so they know why they're taking their shoes off!
🎨 Find the Lamb in the Painting!
A lamb is hiding on this white paper. Paint to find it!
Leader's Guide · Activity 3 — Lost Lamb Painting. Show this before they paint, so they know what's going to happen — then the real paper does the same magic (white crayon + watery paint).
🍼 Little Lamb, Who's Got Your Bottle?
Shepherd — turn around and guess!
Leader's Guide · Activity 4 (10 min) — like Doggy, Doggy, Who's Got Your Bone? Tap each step as you go. Everyone gets a turn as the shepherd.
🐑 Little lamb, little lamb, who's got your bottle? Somebody took it — baa, baa, baa!
🎵 Good-baa, Little Lambs!
Tap a question — then tap to see the answer
Leader's Guide · Good-baa Little Lambs (5 min) — ask what a shepherd does and why we call Jesus the Good Shepherd. Then sing and rejoin the Adventurers.
