SPECIAL SONG: The Old Testament Books (see March - Songs We Sing In Bible Class #3 on this blog). VISUAL AID: Folded Picture (Make a larger Activity-see below for directions) LESSON POINTS: Last week we left Jacob travelling back to his father, Isaac's, homeland, Haran. Remember Jacob's dream? The angels were going up and down the ladder in his dream! Jacob kept traveling and finally came into an eastern land. He saw a well out in the field with flocks of sheep lying by it. This was a well that had a great big rock covering the opening of the well. When all of the sheep arrived by the well, they uncovered the well and let the sheep drink, then they rolled the stone back on top. Jacob walked up to the well and asked the men who were with the sheep, "Where are you from?" Do you know what they said? Haran! That's where Jacob was going! Jacob asked them if they knew Laban and they said yes! They knew him! Jacob asked if Laban was well and they said that he was well and his daughter, Rachel, was bringing up the sheep! While Jacob was talking to the shepherds about watering the sheep, Rachel came up with her father's sheep and Jacob rolled back the stone on the well and watered the flock. Jacob kissed Rachel and, because he was so happy, tears fell from his eyes! Jacob told her that he was Laban's nephew and Rebekah's son. Rachel ran to tell her father the news that Jacob was there at the well. When Laban heard that Jacob was at the well, he ran to meet him and hugged him and kissed him and took him to his house and Jacob stayed there a month. Now, Laban had two daughters. The oldest daughter's name was Leah, and the youngest daughter was named Rachel. Leah was "tender-eyed" or her eyes were pretty, but Rachel was beautiful and everyone liked her. After a while, Laban asked Jacob what he should get paid for all the work he was doing for him. Jacob loved Rachel and he said, "I will work for you seven years for Rachel, your youngest daughter to marry her." Laban agreed and Jacob worked hard for seven years to get to marry Rachel. Let's turn to Genesis 29:20 and see how Jacob felt about all that work. (Read verse.) Let's put our bookmark right here. How did Jacob feel about working seven years for his wife? All those years seemed like no time at all because Jacob loved Rachel! Jacob worked hard for one year, for two years, for three years, for four years, for five years, for six years, and for SEVEN years and finally Jacob told Laban, "OK. My seven years is up. Now I get to marry Rachel." Laban threw a huge feast that lasted a whole week. Back in those days, when the bride got married, she had a veil over her face and you couldn't really see her face at all. So they got married and the next day, Jacob discovered that it wasn't Rachel who he married! It was her older sister Leah!! Jacob found Laban and said, "What have you done to me!! Did I not work for you seven year for Rachel? Why have you tricked me?" Laban answered and said, "In our country, the older daughter must be married first before the younger ones can be married. Go through this week and I will give you Rachel for a wife as well, if you will work for me seven more years." Jacob agreed and then received Rachel as a bride as well, but still had to work another SEVEN years for her. How many years that he work for Rachel all together? FOURTEEN years! That's a lot of work!! "Older Student" Tips: Talk about how in the beginning it was Jacob who was the 'trickster' or the one who tricked his father, Isaac, for the blessing and now...he is the one being tricked. Discuss how getting married in different lands can be quite different than the country in which we live. ACTIVITY: Folded Picture Materials needed: white typing paper, crayons, scissors. The Bible teacher or the student can fold a paper lengthwise and cut along the folded edge to create papers for two students. Folding carefully, make edges meet in the middle and fold. (See picture above.) Open the paper flat. Draw Jacob on one side near the edge pointing outside. Draw Rachel the same way. (See picture below.) Draw the well in the middle and the sheep all around, completing with green hills. (See picture below). Turn paper over and draw "14 years" in the middle of the paper. (See picture below.) Fold the paper so that Jacob and Rachel meet in the middle (See picture at the top of this page.)

This week we discuss Peter being set free from prison. God sent an angel, and they walked right past the guards! There is a game to play and review for the lesson. The game can be used just as a game board, or it can be used as a file folder game. It is short but should really help make the review fun for the students! It was three years after Jesus was crucified, and King Herod decided to harass the Christians. He had James the apostle killed, and because that made the Jews happy, he decided to kill Peter also. The scripture for today's lesson is Acts 12:1-19. King Herod had Peter arrested and put him in prison and then Peter was taken to four squads of soldiers (16 men) to guard him while they waited for him to be brought to trial. Peter was kept in prison, but the Christians were constantly praying to God. Luke tells us in verse 5 that the church was praying for Peter. A church building can't pray. The people are the church. Peter was asleep the night that King Herod was ready to take him out of prison to go before the people. He was between two soldiers and was tied up with two chains. There were also guards at the door of the prison. An angel from God stood by Peter, and there was a light shining in the prison. The angel hit Peter in the side and sat him up telling him to "Hurry, get up!" The chains fell off of Peter's hands. The angel told him to get dressed and put on his sandals. When Peter was ready, the angel said, "Put on your coat and follow me." Peter followed the angel, but he wasn't sure if what the angel had done was real, he thought the angel might be a vision! The angel and Peter went past the first and second guard posts and they came to the iron gate that led into the city. The gate opened by itself, and they went out and went down one street, then the angel left. Peter finally realized he wasn't dreaming and knew that God had sent one of His angels to help him! The angel saved Peter from King Herod and the Jewish people that wanted to kill Peter. After Peter thought about it, he went to Mary's house. She was the mother of John 'Mark'. There were a lot of Christians there praying for Peter. He knocked on the door of the gate and a girl named Rhoda answered. When she recognized Peter's voice, she was so excited that he was there, she didn't open the gate! Instead, she ran in and announced to everyone that Peter was at the gate! They did not believe her, but Rhoda kept telling them that Peter was really outside at the gate. They said, "It has to be his angel." Peter kept knocking and when they finally opened the door, and saw that Peter really was outside, they were amazed! Peter motioned with his hand to be quiet, and he told them how God had sent His angel to get him out of prison. Peter told them to go tell James and the other Christians what happened, then Peter left to go somewhere else. As soon as it was daytime, the soldiers were frantically looking for Peter. They couldn't figure out what had happened to him, and the soldiers couldn't find Peter! I created something a little different for this lesson! You can print one (or more for bigger classes) and use with the class or print enough for the students to take home as a file folder. If you are using at home, or using as a file folder game, there is a cover to print. This is a very short game, and the directions are in the download. Click here to download.

Read a lesson, do a craft, play a little game, say a prayer...and repeat. Over and over. Are you tired of sending home crafts with your littles that just end up in the trash? Are you feeling bored with what you've been teaching? Here are some fun, UNIQUE activities I created that you can use to spice up your Sunday mornings (or anytime!) with your littles! Change up your lesson by doing a short Escape room with them! Yes, littles can "escape" too! Here are 3 Escape rooms/Break out Boxes (and a bonus!) that I made that can be secular, or can be attached to a lesson that you are learning. 1. "Listening" Escape Room - this one would be great to do in conjunction with the Samuel story, Mary and Martha, or any other Bible story where "listening" is your theme. There are 3 activities your children must complete and all 3 require them to use their listening skills! This requires more set up by the teacher than the one below. It is geared towards kids ages prek-2nd grade. 2. "Lost" Break out box - This break out box is based on any of the "lost" parables - Parable of the Lost Coin, Lost Son, and Lost sheep (or any parable where you're searching for something or someone is lost). The children (ages prek-2nd grade) will be searching for the lost item just like in the story. This is an easy lesson with very little set up for the teacher - you just need a printer and painters tape (key lock with lock box is optional)! Depending on how many hints you give your kids, it could take them anywhere from 10 minutes to 20-30 minutes! Gauge their interest and energy level and give hints accordingly :) 3. Jonah/Temple Tax Escape Room - Here is a 10-20 minute escape room also geared towards prek-2nd graders :) This could be done anytime, but I had two stories in mind when writing it - Jonah and/or the temple tax (Matthew 17 when peter gets a coin from inside a fish). All four puzzles are finding objects inside of other objects. 4. I also created a short Paul and Silas escape room to use during VBS - this is a freebie and doesn't cost anything :) It was designed to be finished in 10-15 minutes. Another game I made for prek is Bible Zingo! It's Bingo with a twist! 5. Bible Zingo - Here are the basic rules... It’s just like BINGO, but fast paced. You could play it different ways - click the link to read two ways. Included in this powerpoint... There are 50 Zingo cards so 50 kids can play at one time. Each card has six pictures. There are 48 different pictures of Bible stories and church. If you’d rather play with 4 pics per cards, then just cut two off. Slides 5 and 6 have all the pictures miniature size so they’re easy for you to see. You can use those as the playing cards, or, if you’d rather have bigger ones, slides 7-14 also contain all 48 pictures. You can use those as playing cards and as Zingo cards (so print them out twice). I've also created 2 booklets that you can do over multiple Sundays with your kids, or all at once. 6. My 5 Senses Booklet - Bible Version - Using Scripture, teach your preschoolers (or kindergarteners) about their 5 senses! Samuel - "Hear" Psalms - "See" Last Supper - "Taste" Jacob and Esau - "Smell" Jesus heals - "Touch" Each page has a "sense" and a scripture verse. You can spend a Sunday morning/week on each page and read each story in its entirety in the Bible (and each page can be its own craft), or you can do it all in one sitting and just read the Scripture and not the entire story. Included at the end for the teacher is a page of instructions on how they can illustrate each page (or do something on your own!). 7. ABC Religious Christmas Booklet - This is a printable ABC Christmas story book. Each page has the letter, a word, a scripture (or explanation), and a picture to draw or color (or activity). The activities are age appropriate for prek/K...maybe first grade as well. For example, for "R" it says "Color in and decorate the bells. While you’re coloring, sing a Christmas song!" If you're looking for a curriculum or something to do for 4-6 weeks, I have started writing a "Little Books of the Bible Series". Each book contains one book of the Bible (or various if the books are short). Included are major stories from the book, verses to memorize, short stories, and songs we sing from that book! In addition, there is a little game to play at the end - although they require reading skills. Read the books together and illustrate them as a class or individually! 8. Mark 9. Matthew 10. Luke 11. Genesis 12. Exodus to Deuteronomy Are you looking for a fun activity to put in your worship bags? You could also do these during Sunday school as a group. These are 5 dice games where each number helps you complete a drawing. I am not an artist so they are basic figures/shapes - but the kids will enjoy filling them in. And the cool thing is, if each child is doing it on their own, they will all look different! 13. 5 Bible Dice Games 14. Journaling! - Have you ever thought about journaling with your prek or K classes? Here are some fun journal prompts! Here is a craft idea I put together called the "Blessing Jar". You use it before mealtimes to say a blessing for the food. You can use it all year and can make it anytime as well (although Thanksgiving is a good time to start it :) 15. Meal Blessing Jar - print out the blessings, glue them onto popsicles sticks and pull one out before each meal. My kids LOVED doing this and we did it for almost 10 years as a family! Lastly, I made some games that can be projected up on the wall that you can all play together! They are called "Reveal the Picture". As you review one of the following stories, you click on part of the picture to reveal. See if they can guess the story you are revealing before it's completely done! (please watch the instructional video so you know how to make the questions appear and disappear) 16. Beatitudes, 10 Commandments, and the Lord's Prayer 17. Joseph and King David 18. Spot the Item - Have you played the game Spot it! before? All they have to do is spot the same item on both cards. I made one that has items from the Bible. Each slide has one object that is the same. See if they can spot it! And then, we they do, talk about the object and where it is mentioned in the Bible. There is also a character version that is not Biblical. Hopefully one of these ideas will help you get out of any rut you may be in :) Good luck and God bless! Thank you for all you do for your church and the littles you work with!

Write "Hebrews" on small slips of paper and hand out at the end of class. PRAYER: May we always be brave enough to stand up for God's Truth and never run away from opposition.

God raised up fifteen judges, God raised up fifteen judges, God raised up fifteen judges, To judge Israel. VISUAL AID: Large Activity (see below under Activity) or draw the mountain, the tent on the plain, and the soldiers on the whiteboard or chalkboard LESSON POINTS: Remember last time when we were talking about the children of Israel and how they were in a 'cycle' during the times of the judges? The people would forget God, God would get angry and not be with them and help them, then the people's lives would become miserable, they would repent and cry out to God, He would raise up a judge to deliver them from their troubles, life would be good again, and then the people would forget God again, and they would go through the cycle all over again? During today's lesson, the people had forgotten God and they were very wicked. God was angry and he allowed the people to be sold to the king of Canaan. The king had 900 iron chariots and Sisera was the captain of the King's army. The Canaanites had been very mean to the children of Israel for twenty years. But there was a prophetess named Deborah who was judging Israel at that time. A prophet or prophetess was one who spoke for God. God would speak to the prophet or prophetess and then they would speak God's words to the people. This is what Deborah did under a palm tree in Mount Ephraim and the people would come to her for judgments from God. One day, Deborah sent for a man named Barak. She told him that the LORD commanded him to take 10,000 men to Mount Tabor and Deborah would lead the captain of the army and his soldiers to the river into the Barak's hand. But Barak was not very brave because he said that if Deborah would go with him, he would go, but if she would not go with him, then he would not go, either. Deborah said that she would definitely go with Barak, but because he would not go alone, then honor would not be Barak's, but the honor would go to a woman. Barak got his army of 10,000 men ready, along with Deborah at his side, and off they marched to the Mount Tabor. Now living out on the plain in a tent was a man named Heber who was a relative of Moses's father-in-law. When they told Sisera that Barak had gone to Mount Tabor, Sisera gathered all of his iron chariots and all the people who were with him. Deborah then told Barak, "GO! Today is the day that the LORD has delivered Sisera into your hand!" So, Barak went down the mountain with 10,000 men following him. They fought with the army. The LORD made Sisera nervous and Sisera jumped down from his iron chariot and ran away on foot, but Barak chased him and killed all of his soldiers as they fought. Because Sisera trusted Heber, Sisera ran away to Heber's wife, Jair's, tent. Jair ran out to meet Sisera and said to hide in the tent and she covered him with a coat. After he drank a little milk, he laid down and went to sleep. That's when the woman, Jair, killed him. Is that what God had told Deborah and what she said would happen? YES! Would the honor of delivering the children of Israel go to a woman and not to Barak? YES! God always knows the future, doesn't He? God listened to the children of Israel's cry of repentance and He raised up a deliverer. Life got better for the Israelites after Sisera died. The land rested for forty years (Judges 5:31). We will see if the people forget God again. "Older Students" Tips: The Bible teacher might want to read of Sisera's killing more in detail in Judges 4:18-24. God provided deliverance for His people and, for a little while, they remember God and appreciate His protection. ACTIVITY: "Deborah" Scene Materials needed: 9" x 12" blue construction paper, 2" x 9" light brown paper, 2" x 12" brown paper, 9" x 12" green construction paper, a scrap of any color paper, glue, scissors, crayons. Hand out blue paper to students. This is the background. Pass out 2" x 12" brown strip of paper. Glue brown strip to bottom on blue paper. This is the plain. Pass out 2" x 9" brown paper. Glue to bottom of brown strip. This is the palm tree's trunk. Pass out green paper. Fold paper in half, and in half again, lengthwise. Cut a half of a small palm leaf on the fold. Continue to use up all of the green paper in palm leaves. Glue to top of trunk, resembling a palm tree. It is nice when the leaves are sticking up off the blue paper. Cut a scrap of any color paper for a robe or dress for Deborah. With a crayon or marker, finish Deborah, perhaps with her mouth open speaking God's Word. Write "Deborah, a Judge Of Israel" and "Judges 4" at the top of the paper.
