The questions at the end provide a great information review.
This long list of activities is not meant to overwhelm you. It is meant to give you some ideas to do with your family.
A great thing to do as a family is talking about how your your family has seen God's faithfulness in good times and bad.
BIG IDEA:
God is the boss! He is the best boss!
Adam & Eve choose to disobey this good boss!
God, the good boss, promised to fix this sin problem!
Everything in the Bible helps us see that God is a good boss!
Some additional ideas have been added in italics to this post.
Verse for 1st - 5th grade - Romans 8:1 "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."
Verse for 2 year old - Kindergarten - Psalm 56:3 "When I am afraid I put my trust in you."We are reviewing Genesis 1 - 50
Here are a couple review ideas.
Bible review through food:
- Creation: Apple - the tree of knowledge.
Be sure to address the fact that God gave Adam & Eve every fruit to eat of but gave them a specific, clear command about what they couldn't eat. - Jacob/Esau: Soup (or if Soup is scary soup crackers) - trading of the birthright
- Joseph: Bread - the grain that was stored
Bible review through video:
- The Jesus Storybook Bible DVD Genesis stories. Pick select stories to show. This DVD should be in every classroom and there is an extra copy in the resource room.
Bible review by making a book:
- Depending on the age level you could have the children color pictures or draw pictures of different stories.
Bible review through stations:
- Various stations with play themes:
- animal toys - Creation
- Some kind of appropriate easy to play water activities - Flood
- Build blocks - Tower of Babel
- All of the Genesis pictures from the curriculum will be in your classroom. You could use these to play a game to put them in order, like Memory/Concentration.
- Fun Quiz Game on Genesis Bible stories. Remember the goal is to remember and teach not win.
Bible review by focus on a specific item (similar to food example above):
- An example would be focusing on different animals
- Creation: Elephant - Adam named the animals. What are some crazy animals or animal names.
- Fall: Snake - The serpent tempted Eve. - How did he tempt Eve?
- Flood: two of any kind of animal. - What did God provide to keep people safe? How would you like to live on an ark? Why was the ark built?
- Abraham/Isaac: Ram - God is faithful to His promises and Abraham trusted him. - What does it mean to trust God?
- Jacob/Esau: some kind of furry animal. - Was it right for Jacob to deceive his father?
- You could add to this list or focus on something.
