The stories of the Ark

Each category of creatures in earth in pairs(male and female) entered Noah’s Ark. It rained for forty days and nights continuously. And the flood lasted for 150 days. Then the water started to recede. Children will like the story of Noah sending a dove and a crow to check whether water receded. The verses Genesis 8: 1-19 may be read out or explained in the class. There are interesting stories about the animals in the ark.The stories suitable to small children can be told/enacted in class.
Babel Tower

The story of Babel tower is only mentioned in the lesson. Verses from Genesis11:1-9 can be used to explain the same.
Do you know the language?

This is a game. Give small instructions to children. For example: stand up, fold your hands, close your eyes, close your ears…. Children obey the instructions. In continuation give instruction in unknown language(artificially made up). Children cannot obey this. Explain the idea of the game. This is what happened in Babel.
Let us find pairs.

Children will love this game. Write names of different animals/bird like crow, cat, dog, goat etc in paper slips (two slips of each) and distribute among children. The child who got crow should cry “ka ka” and find the pair. The pair will be complete when the other child who got crow joins. Then they should enter the ark - a big circle drawn in one place. Let all children find their pairs this way and enter the ark.

Thank You
