Grade 4 CRE Christian Values – Protecting Myself From Sexual Temptations Notes
CRE Notes — Christian Values
Subtopic: Protecting Myself From Sexual Temptations (for age 9, Kenya)
What this means: Sexual temptations are feelings or situations that may make you want to do things that are not right for your age or that go against God’s plans for you. We will learn how to protect ourselves in a safe, respectful way.
Why it is important 🙏
- God wants us to keep our bodies safe and pure.
- Protecting yourself keeps you healthy, happy and respected by others.
- It helps you follow Christian values and learn to make good choices.
Practical ways to protect yourself 🚫
- Know your boundaries: Your body is special. Private parts are private — no one should touch them without a good reason (like a doctor with a parent present).
- Say no and walk away: If someone makes you uncomfortable, say “No, stop!” and move to a safe place.
- Tell a trusted adult: Always tell your parent, guardian, teacher, Sunday school leader or another adult you trust as soon as possible.
- Avoid risky situations: Don’t go alone with someone who makes you feel uneasy. Stay where other people are and tell someone where you are going.
- Be careful online: Don’t share private pictures or personal information. Tell a parent or teacher if someone you meet online says or asks for things that make you uncomfortable.
- Choose good friends: Keep company with friends who respect you and follow God’s ways.
- Pray and read the Bible: Ask God to help you when you feel confused or tempted. The Bible gives us good guidance for living well.
How to say “No” — short role-play lines 💬
1. “No, please stop. I don’t like that.”
2. “I will tell my mum / teacher.”
3. “Leave me alone. I’m going to find an adult.”
Bible memory verse ✝️
Psalm 119:9 (simple): “How can a young person live a pure life? By following God’s word.”
A short prayer
Dear God, please help me to make good choices. Keep me safe, help me say “No” when I must, and give me courage to tell a trusted adult. Amen. 🙏
Activity for class or at home ✏️
- Draw a “Safety Circle” and write the names of 3 trusted adults you can tell.
- Practice the “No” sentences with a friend or parent.
- Make a short prayer to say when you feel confused or scared.
If you are in danger now
Call the emergency number 999 or 112, or find a nearby trusted adult immediately. Always tell a parent, teacher or the pastor if someone hurts you or makes you feel unsafe.
Remember: You are loved by God and by your family. It is okay to ask for help. You do not face temptations alone — ask God and trusted adults to walk with you. ✝️💚
