Teaching about Jesus talking with the woman at the well (along with teaching about Niccodemus and John the Baptist) have been great ways for my husband and I to talk with our daughters about Holy Spirit and the new birth. It has been really exciting!
Theme Verse: “God is spirit” John 4:24, print out verse
Song: "By The Well" by Luke and Brigette Hill, listen here
To the woman by the well

Worship God in spirit and truth
Parent Preparation: Pray, John 4:1-43, John 3:16, Romans 10:9-10 For further reference please read “Acceptable Year of the Lord” 4.1

Supplies: Bible, print out of teaching notes, Bible map, bucket, picture of Jesus talking to the woman at the well (I used the slide show from Free Bible Images. This really helped my daughters engage in this long passage. They looked at the pictures on my tablet while I read the record. The slide show includes a map.)
Day 1
- (Read John 4:3-15 while looking at visuals)
- Jesus left Judea and was going to Galilee. (Show both on a map) To get there he had to pass through Samaria.
- (read John 4:6) Do you know what a well is? We can turn on a faucet to get water. They had to get it out of a well. (have your child pretend to fetch water with the bucket.)
- Jesus' disciples went to the city to buy meat.
- Jesus asked a woman at a well for a drink.
- Jesus taught her about spirit.
- (Read the theme verse. Have your child echo it back)
- (Read John 4:3-26 while looking at visuals)
- Jesus taught her that he came to make the fountain of everlasting life available by his accomplishments.
- We’ve learned about Jesus Christ bringing everlasting life. (Read John 3:16)
- Jesus Christ taught the woman about spirit.
- (Read the theme verse. Have your child echo it back)
- The woman said that she knew that the Messiah, the Savior was going to come. Jesus told her that he was the Messiah people were looking for! How exciting for her!
- (Read John 4:3-30 while looking at visuals.)
- (Read the theme verse. Have your child echo it back)
- The woman went into the city to tell everyone that she met the Christ!

- Read about Jacob.
