Thanks to Haley Wilson for sharing her photos and ideas! Haley teaches one of the preschool classes with Glenda Wilson. And Glenda creates most of the ideas that Haley uses. Haley says we need this or that and Glenda creates it! Thanks to both for permitting me to share! Thanks to Jeanne Dickson for sharing her Bible class songs! I have created a flipchart for The Battle of Jericho song that is shown below. That is a lot of boxes! If you know someone that works at FedEx or UPS, ask if they can get them for you! The boxes were placed on a plastic tablecloth and was pulled to knock down Jericho at the right time. The teacher pulled the tablecloth from the opposite side the students were so they didn't see it. Don't tape the boxes so they can be folded and saved to reuse. This is so much hands-on fun for kids! **These boxes can be used for The Tower of Babel and Nehemiah's Wall** They blow the horn and march around Jericho. And the walls came tumbling down! Haley made the horns with brown construction paper wrapped around horns The plastic horns can be purchased here (smaller packs are available in stores). Here's an idea I haven't seen before! (Photo and ideas used with permission) Jeanne Dickson covered Pringles cans and built Jericho with them! These are a great visual and would be so much fun to knock down. They can be used for other Bible cities also. Just use a box or Jeanne suggests that Bluebell single serving ice cream cups would be perfect to use (they have a plastic lid). The download includes 9 choices of brick and stone backgrounds that can be printed and glued to a Pringles can. They can also be printed and cut down to cover your square building for Rahab. Click here for the backgrounds. Here are some songs by Jeanne: This color flipchart has a new song by Jeanne Dickson for The Battle of Jericho. There is a one page black & white printable if you prefer to not use the flipchart. Click here to download. Here is another song by Jeanne Dickson! This includes a one-page black & white printable of the song and a color flipchart of the song. Click here to download.

Our children are growing up in a world that blatantly erects walls in opposition to God and His Word. Pray that the children you teach will come to know their God, as Joshua did, so that they may walk in confident obedience, regardless of the evil that surrounds them. Here are some great activities to help them begin to understand that our obedience, teamed up with God's power, is the key to victory. Bible Truth: Joshua had courage to obey God. Bible Story: Joshua obeyed God, and marched around Jericho. God gave Joshua the victory! Bible Study: Joshua 6 teach dramatic play I like teaching little ones the story of Joshua and the battle of Jericho through dramatic play! I have this set of cardboard blocks that I picked a couple years ago to use as our walls of Jericho. Before that, I use to save ALL my shoe boxes, specifically for this lesson, and they worked great! I like to set the blocks up on a low table, with a table cloth under them. I also gather up the little people from our nativity set. The children can each hold one as they participate in the story, making the people march, sleep and shout. Using little figurines such as Lego people, army men, or anything else you may have, gives the children a perspective of the size of the wall around the city of Jericho. It also gives them a greater appreciation for the incredible miracle God did when He brought the walls down. This sun and moon visual help mark the days and nights, as we dramatize the story. I read the story from a children's storybook Bible, or read selected verses straight from my Bible, pausing to direct the kids, as we act out each part of the story. We march around the city walls once, without a sound, then go lay down to sleep, and repeat the process five more times, just as the Israelite's did. This activity not only burns off some energy, it also helps them to understand that Joshua won the battle because he obeyed, and did exactly what God told him to do, even though other people laughed at him, and made fun of him. Of course, on the seventh time that we wake up, we march around the city seven times, blow our "trumpets" and give a shout! I pull the cloth to make the walls fall down! This makes the point to the kids that Joshua's army didn't make walls fall down. God is bigger and stronger than any walls, or any army, and He made walls fall flat down. Thank You God for giving us the victory!! sing Bigger Than Big - This is a great song to sing during worship time to support the lesson. My God is So Big - This is also a great song to sing during worship time to support the lesson. They Marched Around the City - This is a fun, playful song, set to a classic children's nursery rhyme, to reinforce the lesson, or to do at any time, when you need a little filler. Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho - This song works best as a puppet song or as a song to listen to during craft time. play they marched around the city Setup the blocks, or boxes, as the walls of Jericho on a table cloth or sheet. Sing "They Marched Around the City", as you march around the walls. At the end, pull the cloth or sheet to knock the walls down. The kids are sure to ask you to play it again and again! craft victory trumpets Here is my version of a simple trumpet craft that makes the dramatic play suggestions even more fun! You will need: scripture labels cardboard tubes (toilet paper or paper towel rolls) construction paper wax paper rubber bands hot glue gun scissors tape crayons To prepare, print and cut the scripture labels. Cut construction paper sheets into fourths, and cut wax paper into approximately 3.5" by 3.5" squares. In class, give the children the scripture labels to color. Tape the scripture to the construction paper as shown above. and then tape the construction paper around the cardboard tube. Place the wax paper over the shown end of the tube, and secure with a rubber band. Apply a couple dots of hot glue to keep the rubber band in place. DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO HANDLE THE HOT GLUE GUN, AND KEEP IT OUT OF THEIR REACH. Make a "doo-do-it-dooo" noise into the open end of the trumpet for a great kazoo sound! the walls fall down This craft gives the children the opportunity to retell the story, and bring home the words to "They Marched Around the City" to sing at home with their parents. You will need: this print out construction paper yarn drinking straws brown paint sponges scissors hole punch glue tape crayons To prepare, print and cut the print out. Cut the solid lines around the wall. Fold the wall along the dotted lines. Cut out the character graphics and the rhyme, on the dotted lines. Punch two holes on opposite ends of the construction paper. Cut drinking straws to about 3" in length, and cut yarn to approximately 24" lengths. Thread a strand of yarn through the cut straw, and then through the holes of the paper. Tie it securely in the back. Cut sponges into rectangular, brick shapes. In class, provide small rectangular sponges and brown paint for the children to stamp brown bricks onto the wall. Allow the walls to dry for a few minutes while you continue working on the craft. Provide crayons for them to color Joshua and the Israelite's. Tape the characters to the straw. Glue the lyrics to the rhyme onto the construction paper. When the walls are mostly dry, tape the bottom tabs to construction paper as shown below. Show children how to manipulate the people to march, and make the walls to fall, as you sing the rhyme.
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams? ***** Claire Olsen has had a crush on Zion Petrakis since the first time she laid eyes on him, but he never noticed, instead only having eyes on the school's it girl, Maddie Jennings. Knowing she couldn't compete with Maddie, Claire hid her feelings for Zion, satisfied with admiring him from afar. However, when a series of events led Claire closer to Zion, her feelings for him grew from infatuation to love. And despite fighting hard to keep her feelings contained by distancing herself from Zion, he was determined to show her that he's earned a spot in her life. [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]
