Snack: Animal Crackers to correspond to Noah's Ark!
Bible: Noah's Ark story; "Noah walked with God." Genesis 6:9bExplain to the children that Noah loved and obeyed God even when no one else would.
Activity: Noah's Mixed Up Animals From: http://www.kidssundayschool.com/1130/preschool/noahs-mixed-up-animals.php
A fun game that can be used to tell the story of Noah's ark.
TOPICS: Animals, Noah, ProtectionMATERIALS:A wide variety of medium sized plastic toy animals, two of each. (Should be large enough so as not to pose a choking hazard) A box large enough to hold all the animals. |
PREPARATION: Before class decorate the box to look like the Ark.
WHAT YOU WILL DO: Start by telling the story of Noah's Ark, how God gave Noah the job of collecting two of each kind of animal. Tell the kids that you have a fun game for them. Say, "Somehow all the animals got mixed together. Your job is to find the animal pairs and put them back into the Ark." At this point, dump the variety of animals out on the floor or tabletop and have the kids find the matches. Once the kids have finished, ask them if they think Noah's job would have been hard or easy. Would it have been fun to take care of all the animals? What would be the hardest thing to do? What would be the easiest?

Group Lesson: "Driving Me Buggy!" Prosocial behaviors. Read a book relating to feelings. Talk to the children about understanding how someone else might be feeling. Role play some behavior issue scenarios, i.e., knocking down someone's blocks. Additional Activity: Teacher provides cards with various facial expressions on them such as happy, sad, excited, scared, etc. The children take turns choosing a card while not showing it to the other students. The child then demonstrates making the face on his/her card. The other children try to guess how the child is feeling from the expression he/she is making (same expression that is on their chosen card). Discuss how we could respond to seeing someone with one of these expressions.
