Professor Math

Seed Time Game Show, Number 8

Voice: Welcome to the Sow Your Seed Game Show with your favorite hostesses and mine, Bobby Bling and Chloe Starr!

(Chloe Starr and Bobby Bling enter to cheering audience and game show music.)

Chloe: Hi kids. Today we have an extra-special guest on our show. I’d like to introduce—

Bobby: ME! (Bobby steps out and takes a bow)

Chloe: Um, no, it’s not you, Bobby.

Bobby: (Shocked) Who could be more extra-special than me?

Chloe: Key word, Bobby. GUEST! This is not someone who normally is on our show.

Bobby: (Disappointed) Oh.

Chloe: Today Professor Math is here to help us with our tithing and offering questions. Professor Math, come on out!

Professor Math: (Dressed in Einstein wig, mustache, lab coat and large calculator.) Yes, it is I, Professor Math, to solve all your math questions.

Bobby: (Still grumpy because she’s not the special guest. Sounds bored.) How exciting.

Chloe: (Giving Bobby a poke to help her shape up.) It is exciting to have you, Professor Math. Are you ready to race the kids in getting the right answer to our tithing and offering questions today?

Professor Math: I am!

Chloe: First question. Boys and girls, out of every dollar, which dime belongs to God? A) The first dime, B) the second dime, or C) the last dime. Who has the answer first?

Professor Math: (Working on his calculator) Let’s see, you take the cosine of the tangent and cross multiply by the logarithm and... (By the time he finished, the kids already know the answer.)

Chloe: (Choosing a child to answer) That’s right. The very first dime out of every dollar belongs to God.

Professor Math: (Obviously not finished with his calculations, but agreeing anyway.) Uh...right...yes, that’s right. Very good, little boy/girl.

Bobby: (Rolling her eyes.) Second question. My mom gives me ten dollars for raking leaves. What should I do with the first dollar? A) Buy an ice cream cone, B) go to a movie, or C) give it to God as my tithe.

Professor Math: (Doesn’t realize that he doesn’t need a calculator for this one.) This time I’m going to divide by x and multiply by z in order to get the square root of y plus m, resulting in the function of...

Bobby: (Choosing a child to answer) Right again! The answer is C. We always give the first tenth, which is called the tithe, to God. We give to God from the first of all our produce.

Professor Math: (Still trying to figure it out.) Yes! That’s what I get too. Sort of.

Chloe: Professor Math and kids, are you ready for the last question? When we give the first to God, what does that do? Your choices are: A) it makes God like us better, B) it scares God, or C) it honors God.

Professor Math: (Again with the calculator) I’m going to get this one, boys and girls. You won’t beat me this time. Now, we will subtract the angle of the tangent from the hypotenuse of the Pythagorean theorem, dividing by the supplement of the parallelogram...

Chloe: (Choosing a child to answer) Awesome! The answer is C. It honors God when we give the first to Him, because it shows that we know He is the one who blessed us in the first place and we trust Him.

Professor Math: (Absent minded because he is still working) Uh, yes...very good, children. I think I will take that one home to run through my supper computer.

Chloe: You guys did a great job! Thanks for being our special guest today, Professor Math.

Professor Math: Oh yes. Any time. (Still working.) Where was I? The sine of the multiplied square root of x times b...

Seed Time Game Show, Part 4

Voice: Welcome to the Sow Your Seed Game Show with your favorite hostesses and mine, Bobby Bling and Chloe Starr!

(Enter to cheering audience and game show music.)

Bobby: Listen to that applause. Do you think I could get a recording of that? I want to put it on my CD alarm clock so I wake up to it every morning.

Chloe: (To Bobby) No, I think hearing it just once a week has done enough damage. Hey, kids! Welcome to the number one game show in the Preschool classroom: the Sow Your Seed Game Show!

Bobby: The show where you sow.

Chloe: This is your big chance to win kid cash by answering questions about sowing. Put on your thinking caps, because we have some tough questions for you this week.

Bobby: Hey, I didn’t know I needed a cap.

Chloe: That’s okay, Bobby. The kids will do the thinking today. Remember to raise your hand, kids, so you don’t get disqualified when you know the answer. Bobby, will you do the honors and read the first question?

Bobby: Sure. How do we know that God loves us? A) He always sends us a card on our birthday, B) He gave us His only Son Jesus, or C) He gives us flowers if we’re sick. (Kids respond) And the correct answer is B. God loved us so much that He gave us His Son Jesus. That’s some awesome gift! Because we know how much God loves us, we can show how we love and trust Him by giving to Him. Giving is a great way to show love!

Chloe: Here comes question number two. How can a man rob God? Here are the choices: A) by not telling the truth, B) by eating His sandwich when He’s not looking, or C) by not giving God the first tenth of what you make. (Kids respond) Right! The correct answer is C. The first dime of every dollar we make belongs to God. To honor God, we give Him the very first of what we have.

Bobby: Yeah, when you believe that God will bless you just like He says, it’s easy to give.

Chloe: That’s right, Bobby.

Bobby: Wow. We’re down to the last question already. What does my giving show God? Your choices are: A) He has my full attention, B) He can come and stay at our house any time, or C) He also has my heart. (Kids respond) Correct! The answer is C. What God wants more than anything is your heart. When you give Him your tithe, it shows Him that He also has your heart. Where ever your treasure is, there is your heart also.

Chloe: That’s all we have time for today, kids. See you next time!

Bobby: Soooooow long. Get it, Chloe? Sow long?

Chloe: I sooooo need to get you off this stage. Bye kids!

Seed Time Game Show, Part 3

Voice: Welcome to the Sow Your Seed Game Show with your favorite hostesses and mine, Bobby Bling and Chloe Starr!

(Enter to cheering audience and game show music.)

Bobby: Week after week they come back for more. They love me!

Chloe: Bobby, someday you’re going to figure out that you are not the center of everything.

Bobby: (Not phased by this info and still with a million dollar smile.) You are so funny! I have no intention of figuring that out.

Chloe: (Big sigh) Boys and girls, welcome to the number one game show in the Preschool classroom: the Sow Your Seed Game Show!

Bobby: And it is show time once again.

Chloe: This is your big chance to win kid cash by answering questions about sowing. I hope you brought your answers, because we have some awesome questions for you this week.

Bobby: That’s right. Pull those answers out of your pocket because here we go!

Chloe: And remember kids, raise your hand to answer so you don’t get disqualified.

Bobby: Here’s my first question. Which one of these people will get a harvest? A) People who put ALL their money in the bank, B) people who hide ALL their money in a mattress, or C) people who bring their tithes and offerings to God. (Kids respond.) And the correct answer is, C. You can’t reap if you don’t give to God! Banks are okay, but not for ALL your money. Always give the first to God.

Chloe: Ready for another one? According to the Bible, what will happen to a generous man? Your choices are: A) he’ll win a bicycle, B) he’ll be blessed, or C) he’ll get an A on his report card. (Kids respond.) Right! The answer is B. The Bible tells us that the generous man is himself watered, or blessed.

Bobby: Now for the final question. In a giving situation, who really gets the biggest blessing? Your choices? A) the giver, B) the receiver, or C) the person who does nothing at all. (Kids respond.) Correct! The answer is A. God is so awesome that He has set giving so that the more you give, the more blessed you are. The real blessing comes to the giver!

Chloe: That’s all we have time for today, kids. Remember to keep on sowing.

Bobby: Cause sowing is soooooo great!

Chloe: I think you’re getting better at this Bobby.

Bobby: (Million dollar smile for the cheering crowds) Of course I am! I can’t help it. I just love sowing! (Blowing kisses to the kids as Chloe pushes her off-stage.) You’re awesome! I love you all! See you next time!

The Bible says a lot about giving, and a nugget of truth in each class period will go a long way in preparing children to be blessed as adults because of a lifetime of sowing good seed.

Seed Time Game Show, Part 2

Voice: Welcome to the Sow Your Seed Game Show with your favorite hostesses and mine, Bobby Bling and Chloe Starr!

(Enter to cheering audience and game show music.)

Bobby: Thank you! Thank you! You know they all came just to see me! It’s so great!

Chloe: Oh, please, Bobby. Can you just be realistic for a minute?

Bobby: (Not phased by this info and still with a million dollar smile.) I am so real it’s not even funny. Thank you! Thank you! Let the fun begin!

Chloe: (Big sigh) Boys and Girls, we want to welcome you to the Sow Your Seed Game Show.

Bobby: The show where we sow!

Chloe: You said that last week, Bobby. Anyway, are you all ready to win some kid cash by answering questions about sowing? Great!

Bobby: Here we go!

Chloe: And remember kids, you have to raise your hand to answer so you don’t get disqualified.

Bobby: Tell me what is missing from this statement: The Bible says whatever a man sows, that will he also ___(fill in the blank)___. Can you tell me what belongs? Your choices are A) reap, B) eat, or C) a buy at the store? (Children respond.) And the correct answer is, A. Whatever you sow is also what you will REAP! Great job!

Chloe: My turn. My question is, where does a seed have to go in order to grow? Your choices are A) the library, B) the mall, or C) the ground. (Children respond) Right! The answer is C. Your seed has to go into the ground. It doesn’t matter how much seed you have in your hand. Until you plant it, it will not grow.

Bobby: Now for the final question. What is a good seed to plant? A) donut seed, B) money seed, or C) weed seed. (Children respond) Correct! The answer is B. You have to be very careful about what you sow. Donuts can’t grow, and no one wants weeds. But when you plant your money in God’s kingdom, it will grow and bless others and you too!

Chloe: That’s all we have time for today, kids. Remember to keep on sowing.

Bobby: And keep on sowing.

Chloe: Why do you always say that?

Bobby: (Million dollar smile for the cheering crowds) Because I’m just so me! I love you all! Thank you! Thank you!
