God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Echo unchanged phrases: God is a Spirit: / and they that worship him / must worship him in
spirit and in truth.
Prepare for the Adventure – Quick Checklist
Read the full passage; print W1; try the puzzle; use CG2 keys. Read aloud as needed.
Samaria: region on Jesus' journey. Messias / Christ: the promised Anointed One. Living water: Jesus'
picture for his gift of life, not magic well water. Bridge vv. 11-12,15-24: she asks questions; Jesus
speaks of her life and true worship.
Goals: Trace well, conversation and invitation; distinguish ordinary water from Jesus' gift; practise a
welcoming invitation.
45-Minute Teaching Plan
0-5 Welcome; introduce the picture and a simple optional prayer.
5-12 Read the short KJV selection together; explain story words.
12-22 Play W1 activities 1-2 in pairs. Model one example if needed.
22-25 Quiet stretch or water break; seated participation welcome.
25-33 Play activities 3-4. Let learners point, speak or write.
33-38 Use the short cooperative game on CG2.
38-43 Take turns echoing the exact weekly verse, task 5.
43-45 Ask the quick check; celebrate learning and optional prayer.
60-minute option: add 5 minutes each for another game round, a partner retell, and optional extra challenge.
Timing is an estimate.

1 / FOLLOW THE WELL-SIDE TRAIL
Say: Find the well, conversation and town.
Do: Match every panel; notice the waterpot.
Check: Panels 1-3: B, C, A. Woman comes (v. 7);
Jesus explains his gift (vv. 10,13-14); she invites
people (vv. 28-29). Her waterpot stays behind (v.
28). Appearances are imagined.
2 / REBUILD THE INVITATION
Say: What happens before people come?
Do: Order the steps with a partner.
Check: Printed order: 3, 1, 2. Jesus identifies
himself (v. 26), she leaves the pot and invites (vv.
28-29), people come (v. 30).
3 / TWO WATER CLUES
Say: What does Jesus' picture help us understand?
Do: Read both complete verses; circle clues.
Check: AGAIN; ETERNAL LIFE; GIFT. Verse 14
connects Jesus' water with everlasting life. It does
not remove the body's need to drink. These clues
are summaries, not altered verses.
4 / INVITE WITH RESPECT
Say: What kind, safe next step could help?
Do: Offer a short reply and one practical action.
Check: Open response: You are welcome to join
us. Explain the activity and offer a partner;
respect a no. No pressure, private questions or
required personal stories.
5 / REMEMBER
Say: read the exact W1/CG1 verse.
Do: echo unchanged phrases.
Check: follow the printed KJV words; listening
counts.
PLAY TOGETHER
Partners place WELL, GIFT and INVITATION labels
by verses 7, 14 and 29. One reads the full verse;
the other explains the match. Swap roles.
Check: WELL: v. 7, drawing water. GIFT: v. 14,
everlasting life. INVITATION: v. 29, come and see.
Labels are teaching summaries.
FLEXIBLE LEARNING
For support: Read aloud; offer oral answers,
pointing, a scribe or partner. Model a clue; allow
time. No personal disclosures required.
Extra challenge, optional: What did the woman
leave behind in verse 28?
Answer: Her waterpot. The passage does not say
she never used it again.
SHORT LESSON / HOMESCHOOL
20-minute essentials: welcome 3; reading 5; tasks
1 and 4 for 6; verse 4; recap/prayer 2. Other tasks
optional.
30-60 minutes: add puzzles, game, retelling and
fuller reading; take breaks.
TAKE HOME & CHECK
Echo all three memory phrases. Plan a respectful
invitation to a free family reading; participation
stays optional.
Quick check: Does living water mean Christians
no longer need drinking water?
Answer: No. Jesus uses water imagery for his gift
of everlasting life.
Optional praise: thank God for today’s learning;
no music needed.
Teacher reflection: Revisit: __________
ACCURACY & CARE
Do not portray God as a person. Do not shame the
woman or speculate about her past. Explain
Jewish-Samaritan tension without stereotyping.
No learner must discuss family relationships.
