THE STORY (20 minutes)- What is Salvation
Supplies: Student Folders, Pencils
, “Exodus” Worksheet
Hand out kids ’ folders and pencils
Today you will be showing Volume 2 of “What’s in the Bible?” second episode “ What is
Salvation?” You will be playing the second half of the second show in the video. You will start the show from at 38:02 video time (when the Buck Denver puppet is saying
“What’s the next book of the Bible?”) and watch until the end of episode 2.
Ask: It is easy to judge the Israelites and think how silly they were to worship statues and forget about God so often, but what are things in our lives that we
“worship” and allow to replace God in our lives? (Allow the kids to share their thoughts)
Say:
Let’s pray together that God will help us keep our focus on Him and only worship him. (Encourage children to pray with you.)
SNACK & BATHROOM BREAK- (5-7 Minutes)

EXPLORE MORE (10-15 Minutes) Moses
Supplies : Cardboard tube (cut into 3 sections), Brown and peach felt, 2-
3” x 2” scraps of cardboard, Acrylic paint in peach and pink, White doll hair or yarn, Brown chenille stem,
4-5 cotton balls, Black marker, Scissors, White craft glue, Paintbrush, Hot glue gun

Week 8- September 23 rd
1. Paint the top portion of the cardboard tube peach. No need to paint the back or anywhere else as the rest will be covered with felt. Use a cotton swab or your fingertip to pick up some pink paint. Blot most of it off with paper towel so that it's almost dry. Dot on the cheeks.
2. Glue white yarn around the peach area (face). Glue on for hair and beard.
3. From a sheet of brown felt, cut a large half circle.
4. Insert cotton balls inside the cardboard tube. There should be enough that they will provide roundness for the top of the head, but not too many that the tube cannot stand on its own. Glue inside to secure.
5. Wrap the brown felt around the tube, starting at the top and back of the head and wrapping around both sides, meeting in the front. Trim if needed to fit and glue in place.
6. Trim cardboard rectangles to give them rounded top edges. Glue one behind the other, allowing it to be shown from the back. Use black marker to write some of the commandments on the front tablet (i.e. thou shalt not steal, honor thy mother and father, etc)
7. Glue tablets to the left side of the robe.
8. Bend the top of brown chenille stem into a cane shape. Glue to the other side of the robe.
9. Cut out two small circles from peach felt. Glue one on to the chenille cane (hands) and the other to the left side of the tablets.
10. Use black marker to add dots for eyes and draw on eyebrows.
GAME (10-15 Minutes)- Paper Ladder
Supplies: Books of the Old Testament written on a piece of paper and cut into strips, 4 jump ropes, clothespins
What you will do:
Divide the children into two or more teams. Give each team two pieces of rope, clothespins, and a set of paper strips that contain the books of the Old Testament. Tell the children that, on your signal, they are to lay the ropes side by side on the floor.
Using the clothespins, each team should then connect the books of the Old Testament between the ropes in the correct order, so that the strips resemble the rungs of ladder.
The first team to complete their ladder correctly and hold it up wins. Remember the books must be in the right order to win.
The books of the Old Testament: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy,
Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2
