GOD MADE THE WORLD
PART 4 : God made the animals
Memory Verse : God made the world
God ( Point up with both hands) made (bring hands to mouth like
pretending to shout) the world ( make a big round circle with hands)
Bible verse:
Gen 1 v 20-24: The God said,” Let the waters swarm with swarms of
living creatures , and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens”.So
God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves , with which the
waters swarm, according to their kinds , and every winged bird according to it’s kind. And
God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying,”Be fruitful and multiply and fill the
waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” And there was evening and there
was morning, the 5th day. And God said,” Let the earth bring forth living creatures according
to their kinds-livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds”.
And it was so. And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the
livestock according to their kinds , and everything that creeps on the ground according to
it’s kind. And God saw that it was good.
