Kindergarten 10:45 Sunday School October 19, 2008

We had a couple fun helpers in our class on Sunday--thank you Tom and Liz.  We were excited to start a new lesson this week on Father Abraham.  We created a miniature dessert scene of Abraham and Sarah's trip through the dessert leaving their home in the city of Ur.  In addition we made sheep and tents to add in the dessert so we could join their long journey.  We ended our lesson by playing our game board (and, of course, testing how much everyone heard in the story). Further, the game board helped the kids memorize our verse, "Obey the Lord" Deutoronomy (the book of the bible was too much of a mouthful for most :.)  Our class ended by being joined by the pre-k class for music time with Betsy!!  I think our favorite was "Hallalueia....Praise Ye the Lord" with the boys against girls.  I'd like to say the girls won, however, it was way too close to tell.  We will have to keep practicing!

We had a very busy fun packed morning.  We focused our class time today on the story of Noah' Ark and God's following promise to us with the "rainbow" that he would never again send another flood to wipe out the Earth.  Our group each chose an animal and we played a board game where the angels helped lead each animal to the finish line.  During our game, we had a special rainbow "jello" snack and juice.  We also made Noah's Ark boats out of juice boxes and pipe-cleaners!!

Our morning group ended by joining the pre-k class for some bible songs and singing as a group together.  One of the songs the children are working on is "1.2....1.2.3...I know that Jesus loves me" (A.B....A.B.C......etc.)  

Until next time, the kids have voted that they would really like to do the Noah's Ark Game again, but they would prefer to have more forward moving cards (rather than cards that make you go back spaces)!   Good idea!!

Until next time.....have a wonderful week everyone.
