Amazing stories you might not know! There are some stories from the Bible we all know by heart and a few that we rarely if ever hear. These stories will introduce kids to some obscure people of the Bible whose lives can teach us about God and faith. _______ Did You Know? Lessons Overview MEMORY VERSE: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 (NIV) About The Guy Who Fell Out Of The Window? Scripture: Acts 20:7-13, A Boy Falls Asleep During Paul’s Sermon Have you ever struggled with falling asleep in church? One time a boy fell asleep during one of Paul’s sermons, fell out a window, and died! Fortunately for him and his family, Paul was able to restore his life. Objective: Kids will learn, “God is strong, but loves us even though we are weak.” About The Ax That Could Float? Scripture: 2 Kings 6:1-7, An Ax Head Floats Tools are expensive. Just ask your parents. When a man lost the head of his ax in the water, he was pretty upset. Fortunately, Elisha was there to do a miracle. God cares about all our problems, even the little ones. Objective: Kids will learn, “God cares about all our problems, big and small.” About The Bad Cook? Scripture: Ezekiel 4:9-16, Ezekiel Cooks Over Cow Pies Imagine eating homemade bread cooked over a fire fueled by cow poop. I can’t imagine that would smell very good, but that was the point. Ezekiel’s unusual cooking method was meant to be a powerful reminder of how repulsive sin is to God and the unpleasant consequences of choosing to sin. Objective: Kids will learn, “God thinks our sin stinks.” About The Bonus Resurrections? Scripture: Matthew 27:50-53, People Rising From the Grave After Jesus Died There’s one little detail that often gets overlooked in retelling the Easter story. At the moment Jesus died, many faithful people who were dead rose from their graves and visited their relatives! We don’t have a lot of detail on this, but it reminds us that people who know Jesus don’t stay dead for long. Everyone who dies in Christ will be raised to new life. Objective: Kids will learn, “Jesus made a way for us to all experience eternal life.” _______ Each Lesson Includes: Make It Stick! Parent Sheet - so you can let mom and dad know what kids are learning each week and look like a rockstar teacher who's thought of everything. Memory Verse - so that you can make sure kids are getting Scripture in their minds and hearts every single week and you can feel like each lesson was a success even when it seems like 90% of your lesson time is spent saying things like "calm down", "let's be quiet", "hands to yourself!" Skit or Puppet Show - so you have a way to easily connect the lesson with your hands-on and visual learners. No drama team? No problem! Just hand the script to the kids. They'll have a blast and think you're the coolest. Craft Activity - so you can give kids a physical reminder of the Bible lesson (and give yourself an activity to keep them busy until mom and dad come back!) Game - so kids don't leave and say church was BORING! Games are so important to help keep kids engaged. Our large group games always include a "What's The Point" section to help you connect the game to the lesson. Large Group Lesson - so you can present the Bible story in a clear and fun way, which means now you can enjoy Saturday nights instead of stressing over putting a lesson together! Small-Group Discussion - so you can find out who was paying attention and who was talking to their neighbor. Just kidding, this is a great way for you to build deeper relationships with your kiddos after each lesson, which means you're going to care about them so much you'll cry like a baby when they graduate and go to middle school :( More! - Yes, there is even more than all of that so that you can easily put together the perfect lesson for your ministry each weekend, which means no more agonizing over how to adjust complicated lesson plans.

First thing first....THIS has been a ROUGH few weeks. We have had some sort of sickness running rampant through our home. My oldest son brought it home with him a few weeks back. Since then we have all seemed to be dropping like dead flies. I was the last fly to drop....and when I did I dropped hard and fast. Whatever this sickness was....well, it knocked me for a loop! I am STILL coughing...however, I am feeling MUCH better. I said all that to say....I am REALLY running behind this week. It is CRAZY how far behind the month of December seems to put me. And, that is when I am feeling well. With me NOT feeling well...WELL...I am REALLY FAR BEHIND. This week we are moving on in our Exploration of Bible History. We are still learning about the Miracles of Elisha...and this week we are going to be learning about the time when Elisha made an AXE HEAD FLOAT!!! This story comes from 2 Kings 6. GOD'S AWESOME PLAN FOR MAN----WALL This story has always amazed me....I love the story of GOD'S power over the Laws of Physics!!! After all HE created Physics!!! :-) However, there is a few other points I want to DRAW OUT from this story. First off, I want the KIDDOS to understand the importance of Borrowing/Lending. I want them to understand that IF they Borrow something...they have a responsibility to make sure to take care of the item they borrowed...and to return it to the owner in a timely manner. I also, am wanting to talk to them about the idea of Lending something....hoping to get them to understand that when we LOAN out items we are taking a chance that we MIGHT not get the item back....and FRIENDSHIPS is much more important than items!!! To introduce the lesson, I am going to have a pail of water and some "IRON" metal washers. I am going to let the children drop them in the water....then I am going to ask them if they can now make them FLOAT to the top of the water....so, that I can get them out. I figure they will all say "NO." But, I will let them try to float them...LOL. Then I am going to toss a small stick in the water and ask them if they think that the STICK can make those HEAVY "IRON" WASHER float to the top. I am hoping they will think I am a it CRAZY!!!! But, that is when I am going to tell them that in the BIBLE we find a STORY where GOD'S PROPHET, ELISHA, made an AXE HEAD FLOAT!!!!! This week the KIDDOS will be Memorizing Proverbs 22:7. I chose this verse because I feel it goes well with this story and teaches a very important LIFE LESSON! We have two new words to add to our WORD WALL. I figure the KIDDOS understand the principle of Borrowing and Lending....BUT, I want to be able to REVIEW the act of Borrowing and Lending with the KIDDOS in the future....and IT is WONDERFUL to have WORDS up on the WORD WALL that quickly remind us of a BIBLE STORY or BIBLE PRINCIPLE! The KIDDOS "TAKE HOME" ACTIVITY this week is super EASY!!! Matter-Of-Fact, it is an AX that I purchased at the Dollar Tree--back in the Summer. I was recently at the Dollar Tree and did NOT see these at this time....HOPING they will bring them back next Summer. I wrote the Bible Verse on the AX HEADS with a Sharpie. I did write the LETTERS in an OUTLINE style....so, the KIDDOS will be able to COLOR them in on Sunday. I will be letting them color with SHARPIE....SO, there will be LOTS of RULES for them to be allowed to "BORROW" my "special" markers. I will only "LOAN" them to the KIDDOS willing to FOLLOW the RULES! :-) I love it when I get to make something so simple FIT IN with the LESSON!!!! BTW, these AX HEADS FLOAT!!!! The FRONT of the AXE HEAD has the verse written on it and the BACK has the Scripture Reference! I decided to REUSE the VISUALS IDEA from the last lesson. Since the base already had the "RIVER JORDAN" on it....I thought there was NO NEED to RECREATE the WHEEL. So, I used the base/backdrop for this LESSON too. I slid in "sons of the prophets," trees, logs, and Elisha. I do have the AXE HEAD and STICK stuck on with VELCRO DOTS....SO, I will be able to put the AXE HEAD in the RIVER and toss the STICK into the RIVER too. The CLIP ART came from the Cool Clip Art Collection. http://www.coolclipart.com/clipart-downloads-set-details.php?vol=49 I do NOT receive any incentives, financial support, etc. from this clip art company. I only LIST it here so that you might be able to FIND this resource. I did ADD AXES and REMOVE TONGUES of FIRE to these....Just PRINT and CLIP and GLUE!!! The KIDDOS will never KNOW who these CLIP ART PEOPLE were SUPPOSED to be...SO, color them in different colors, add accessories, and you have a WHOLE NEW PERSON!!!! Blessings of teaching the EARLY CHILDHOOD AGE GROUP!!!! BTW, the TREES and LOGS were printed from the PRINT MASTER Program Clip Art Collection. I LOVE this program and have used it for YEARS!!!! The KIDDOS will be LEARNING a new song this week. It goes along with this lesson....It is called DO YOU THINK YOU COULD MAKE AN AXE HEAD FLOAT? This song is sung to the familiar tune: "If you're happy and you know it..." OUR REVIEW GAME will involve a "FLOATING" AXE Head. The KIDDOS will make this AXE Head "FLOAT" by answering questions from the LESSON. Every time they answer a question correctly they get to "FLOAT" the AXE Head up to the NEXT LEVEL. I used VELCRO DOTS as the way to ATTACH the AXE HEAD...BTW, the little AXE HEAD was purchased at the DOLLAR TREE....They were out of the AXE'S that I was looking for....but, they had these GLOW STICK versions....I was so excited when I figured out the AXE HEAD slides right OFF!!! I just WRAPPED the little AXE HEAD in ALUMINUM foil and glued on the VELCRO DOT to the back....It works PERFECTLY!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!! Make sure to notice, I glued on a STICK....that way the AXE HEAD can FLOAT! :-) NEXT week when we review this LESSON the KIDDOS will make their EXPLORER JOURNAL ACTIVITY!!! I WORKED REALLY hard to get this to work!!!! I am so HAPPY with how it turned out!!!!!! I know the KIDDOS will LOVE making their AXE HEAD FLOAT!!! I made the little AXE HEADS out of FOIL SPARKLY PAPER. It is folded over and has a PENNY glued to the inside...that gives the AXE HEAD the needed WEIGHT to SINK!!! It is also attached to a piece of fishing line that is run through a very tiny hole up at the top of the page. The fishing line is then tied to a button....so, that it wont slip back through the hole. During class the KIDDOS will COLOR the water, glue on the stick and then add the AXE HEAD.....I have the pages pre-sliced so that we can simply add the AXE HEAD, thread it through the hole and tie it to the button. I have attempted to explain this activity the best I can....but, I decided It would just be easier to SHOW you how the finished product works. So, we shot a short VIDEO....HOPE YOU ENJOY WATCHING the AXE HEAD FLOAT!! Blessings, Ronda
The sons of the prophets needed a larger place to live, so they went to the Jordan to get beams with which to build a dwelling place. Elisha went with them, and they cut down trees. In …

Help your child learn that God cares about the little things. 2 Kings 6 free printable Bible lesson for preschoolers. Included worksheets, games coloring and more.
VERSES: 2 Kings 6:1-7 MEMORY VERSE: 2 Kings 6:6 "...and the iron did swim." BOOK TO REMEMBER: Obadiah. Write "Obadiah" on small slips of paper and hand out at the end of the class. PRAYER: Thank God for giving us the Bible, the book tells us everything we need in this life. SPECIAL SONG: Jesus Taught By Parables And Miracles (see March - Songs We Sing In Bible Class #4 on this blog), The B-I-B-L-E (see February - Songs We Sing In Bible Class #2 on this blog). VISUAL AID: Experiment: Can iron float without God's help? Materials needed: something made of iron, a few floating items, a small tub of water, whiteboard or chalkboard, dry erase marker or chalk. Introduce the question: Can iron float? Write on the board "Can iron float without God's help? On the board, make two columns. At the top of one column, write: "FLOAT" and the other column "SINK." Before the experiment, pass around the objects under consideration for sinking or floating. Ask students which items they think will float or sink. One at a time, place items, one by one into tub of water. Make notes on the board after each item is tried. When experiment is finished and the board is completed, discuss what conclusions can be made. Explain how iron will float ONLY with God's intervention or help. This is called a miracle. LESSON POINTS: The prophets said to Elisha one day that where they were living was too small. They wanted to build a larger place. They asked if they could go and build by the Jordan River. They would take wood and build a place where they would have more room. Elisha told them to go and do it. When it was suggested that perhaps Elisha could come, too, he agreed and went with them. When they arrived by the river, they began cutting down trees and cutting the wood into beams that they could use to build a building. Suddenly, someone cried out, "Oh no, Elisha! The ax head has fallen into the water! It was not even mine! I borrowed it!" Elisha asked, "Where did it fall?" The man pointed to where the ax head fell into the water. Elisha cut down a stick and threw it in the water and up came the ax head, floating in the water! An ax head is made out of iron. We have found out on our own by doing the experiment that iron does not float, does it? No! Iron sinks! Iron is very heavy, isn't it? How did Elisha make that ax head float? Elisha performed a miracle from God. God was behind that miracle and it proved that Elisha was a man of God. Do we perform miracles today, right now? No. We have something better now that can prove if someone is speaking the words of God. How would we know if someone was speaking the words that God wanted them to say? That's right! We would look in the Bible! The Bible is all we need today (2 Timothy 3:16, 17). "Older Student" Tips: Definition of miracle: In the Bible, the most common word used for 'miracle' is 'wonder.' Nature in itself is a wonder, but there are many miracles that are written down in the Bible that are not ordinary happenings in nature, such as the Red Sea opening up and people walking through the sea on dry land, all the plagues that Moses performed in Egypt before Pharaoh, Daniel and his friends surviving in a den of lions, and so on. These were definitely miracles. Miracles have always had a purpose. Miracles were used in the Old and New Testaments to prove that certain men were sent by God (Hebrews 2:1-4). Miracles were credentials. How would a police officer prove he was a police officer? He would show his badge. How would a member of the press prove that they were a member of the press? They would show their press pass or press card. That is how miracles worked in Bible times. Just because someone said they were from God did not make it true, so they would perform a miracle, something that was impossible to do under normal circumstances, like walk on water, feed 5,000 people with only two fish and five loaves of bread, raise someone to life that had been dead four days, to prove that God had sent them. Elisha performed miracles because he was a man of God, a prophet. He could only perform a miracle with God's help because God was the One behind the miracle who had and has the power to do all things. Can people perform miracles today? Sometimes we read in magazines or hear someone say that a miracle has happened, usually it something that everyone cannot see, such as someone's liver being healed or something that was hidden and could not be seen or proven. God's miracles were always events that could be tested and found true. When did miracles cease or stop? Miracles ceased when the Bible was completed. There are many verses that could be read, such as 1 Corinthians 13:8-13, James 1:25. Ephesians 4:7-15, and 1 Corinthians 12:28-31, that show us that we do not need miracles today because there is no need for them. The Bible is all we need today. ACTIVITY: The Floating Ax Head Material needed: 9" x 12" yellow construction paper, 4" x 6" dark blue construction paper, scrap of red paper, tiny stick, crayons, marker, glue, scissors. Hand out yellow paper. Hand out blue paper. Tear top edge and round corner to make water. Glue water into one corner of yellow paper. Hand out red scrap of paper. Cut into an ax head. Color black on one edge of red ax head. Glue in water. Close by ax head, glue tiny stick that Elisha the in the water. Draw Elisha and the man who lost the ax head looking into the water. The man who lost the ax head should have the handle in his hand. Draw lots of trees already cut down and a few still standing with their leaves still on the trunks. Write "The Floating Ax Head" and "2 Kings 6:1-7" at the top of the paper.

First thing first....THIS has been a ROUGH few weeks. We have had some sort of sickness running rampant through our home. My oldest son brought it home with him a few weeks back. Since then we have all seemed to be dropping like dead flies. I was the last fly to drop....and when I did I dropped hard and fast. Whatever this sickness was....well, it knocked me for a loop! I am STILL coughing...however, I am feeling MUCH better. I said all that to say....I am REALLY running behind this week. It is CRAZY how far behind the month of December seems to put me. And, that is when I am feeling well. With me NOT feeling well...WELL...I am REALLY FAR BEHIND. This week we are moving on in our Exploration of Bible History. We are still learning about the Miracles of Elisha...and this week we are going to be learning about the time when Elisha made an AXE HEAD FLOAT!!! This story comes from 2 Kings 6. GOD'S AWESOME PLAN FOR MAN----WALL This story has always amazed me....I love the story of GOD'S power over the Laws of Physics!!! After all HE created Physics!!! :-) However, there is a few other points I want to DRAW OUT from this story. First off, I want the KIDDOS to understand the importance of Borrowing/Lending. I want them to understand that IF they Borrow something...they have a responsibility to make sure to take care of the item they borrowed...and to return it to the owner in a timely manner. I also, am wanting to talk to them about the idea of Lending something....hoping to get them to understand that when we LOAN out items we are taking a chance that we MIGHT not get the item back....and FRIENDSHIPS is much more important than items!!! To introduce the lesson, I am going to have a pail of water and some "IRON" metal washers. I am going to let the children drop them in the water....then I am going to ask them if they can now make them FLOAT to the top of the water....so, that I can get them out. I figure they will all say "NO." But, I will let them try to float them...LOL. Then I am going to toss a small stick in the water and ask them if they think that the STICK can make those HEAVY "IRON" WASHER float to the top. I am hoping they will think I am a it CRAZY!!!! But, that is when I am going to tell them that in the BIBLE we find a STORY where GOD'S PROPHET, ELISHA, made an AXE HEAD FLOAT!!!!! This week the KIDDOS will be Memorizing Proverbs 22:7. I chose this verse because I feel it goes well with this story and teaches a very important LIFE LESSON! We have two new words to add to our WORD WALL. I figure the KIDDOS understand the principle of Borrowing and Lending....BUT, I want to be able to REVIEW the act of Borrowing and Lending with the KIDDOS in the future....and IT is WONDERFUL to have WORDS up on the WORD WALL that quickly remind us of a BIBLE STORY or BIBLE PRINCIPLE! The KIDDOS "TAKE HOME" ACTIVITY this week is super EASY!!! Matter-Of-Fact, it is an AX that I purchased at the Dollar Tree--back in the Summer. I was recently at the Dollar Tree and did NOT see these at this time....HOPING they will bring them back next Summer. I wrote the Bible Verse on the AX HEADS with a Sharpie. I did write the LETTERS in an OUTLINE style....so, the KIDDOS will be able to COLOR them in on Sunday. I will be letting them color with SHARPIE....SO, there will be LOTS of RULES for them to be allowed to "BORROW" my "special" markers. I will only "LOAN" them to the KIDDOS willing to FOLLOW the RULES! :-) I love it when I get to make something so simple FIT IN with the LESSON!!!! BTW, these AX HEADS FLOAT!!!! The FRONT of the AXE HEAD has the verse written on it and the BACK has the Scripture Reference! I decided to REUSE the VISUALS IDEA from the last lesson. Since the base already had the "RIVER JORDAN" on it....I thought there was NO NEED to RECREATE the WHEEL. So, I used the base/backdrop for this LESSON too. I slid in "sons of the prophets," trees, logs, and Elisha. I do have the AXE HEAD and STICK stuck on with VELCRO DOTS....SO, I will be able to put the AXE HEAD in the RIVER and toss the STICK into the RIVER too. The CLIP ART came from the Cool Clip Art Collection. http://www.coolclipart.com/clipart-downloads-set-details.php?vol=49 I do NOT receive any incentives, financial support, etc. from this clip art company. I only LIST it here so that you might be able to FIND this resource. I did ADD AXES and REMOVE TONGUES of FIRE to these....Just PRINT and CLIP and GLUE!!! The KIDDOS will never KNOW who these CLIP ART PEOPLE were SUPPOSED to be...SO, color them in different colors, add accessories, and you have a WHOLE NEW PERSON!!!! Blessings of teaching the EARLY CHILDHOOD AGE GROUP!!!! BTW, the TREES and LOGS were printed from the PRINT MASTER Program Clip Art Collection. I LOVE this program and have used it for YEARS!!!! The KIDDOS will be LEARNING a new song this week. It goes along with this lesson....It is called DO YOU THINK YOU COULD MAKE AN AXE HEAD FLOAT? This song is sung to the familiar tune: "If you're happy and you know it..." OUR REVIEW GAME will involve a "FLOATING" AXE Head. The KIDDOS will make this AXE Head "FLOAT" by answering questions from the LESSON. Every time they answer a question correctly they get to "FLOAT" the AXE Head up to the NEXT LEVEL. I used VELCRO DOTS as the way to ATTACH the AXE HEAD...BTW, the little AXE HEAD was purchased at the DOLLAR TREE....They were out of the AXE'S that I was looking for....but, they had these GLOW STICK versions....I was so excited when I figured out the AXE HEAD slides right OFF!!! I just WRAPPED the little AXE HEAD in ALUMINUM foil and glued on the VELCRO DOT to the back....It works PERFECTLY!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!! Make sure to notice, I glued on a STICK....that way the AXE HEAD can FLOAT! :-) NEXT week when we review this LESSON the KIDDOS will make their EXPLORER JOURNAL ACTIVITY!!! I WORKED REALLY hard to get this to work!!!! I am so HAPPY with how it turned out!!!!!! I know the KIDDOS will LOVE making their AXE HEAD FLOAT!!! I made the little AXE HEADS out of FOIL SPARKLY PAPER. It is folded over and has a PENNY glued to the inside...that gives the AXE HEAD the needed WEIGHT to SINK!!! It is also attached to a piece of fishing line that is run through a very tiny hole up at the top of the page. The fishing line is then tied to a button....so, that it wont slip back through the hole. During class the KIDDOS will COLOR the water, glue on the stick and then add the AXE HEAD.....I have the pages pre-sliced so that we can simply add the AXE HEAD, thread it through the hole and tie it to the button. I have attempted to explain this activity the best I can....but, I decided It would just be easier to SHOW you how the finished product works. So, we shot a short VIDEO....HOPE YOU ENJOY WATCHING the AXE HEAD FLOAT!! Blessings, Ronda
When the students at Gilgal needed to make an extra room and decided to build it themselves, they did not expect to witness a floating axehead! In this story we read about a miracle where a lost and sunken axehead floated to the surface of the water! Click to read more… We have all lost ... Read more
