Abram and Lot


Abram and Lot
lesson from DLTK

Before I read the story to the kids we talked about what a family means.
What does it mean to support each other?
This gave me blank stares.
"What is support?"
I knew this would happen when I asked the question and it left the story open to answer the question for us.
I printed off some of the papers available on DLTK and made a packet.

The packet had small highlights of things we might hear in the story.
I gave the kids each their packet then read the story of Abram and Lot. 

As we were reading and we heard a word in the packet we would find the word and look at the picture.  Then I would re-read that sentence and continue.

This kept the kids very engaged in the story.

When the story was over I asked the question....
What does it mean to support the people in your family?

This time I was given many excited answers to ways we can support each other  :).

After the story I gave the kids their Bible coloring page. It is almost like candy the way my kids go for those coloring pages after the story.

 Memory Verse: So Abram said to Lot, "Please let there be no strife between you and me, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are brethren."  Genesis 13:8

Elephant Faces

Elephant Faces (masks) We used:  Three paper plates Paint or markers Paint brushes Stapler Scissors Yarn First paint the bottom of the paper plate.  While the kids painted I cut the other paper plate in half for the ears. Using the third plate I cut out the textured part of the plate to make the trunks.   Paint (or color) the rest of the pieces.  Staple them together to make an elephant. Cut out small holes for eyes and small holes behind the ears to attach the yarn. Now that the lesson is over I have the masks hanging in the playroom.  They make a neat decoration. 

Painting With Squirt Guns

We did this as a Fathers Day project, but it fits in outside play perfectly.   I liked this for Fathers because it was an interactive activity for the kids to do with Jerry to celebrate him and the time they enjoy spending with him. I filled 1 gun with yellow paint and 2 guns with black paint.  The squirt guns we used were from the dollar store and had a decently big hole to pour the paint into.  Some squirt guns have itty bitty holes that make squirting paint into the gun very difficult. Taped off the canvas...and made the kids pose Then the guns were handed to the kids and dad.  Instructions were to shoot the canvas not each other. Very simple. Start squirting!   The squirting went on and on.  I refilled the guns a couple times so the activity could continue.     Jerry also took time with each Dragon to squirt with them.  With a Star Wars theme we were looking at having black as the primary color and yellow as the secondar

Mini Story Boards

Mini Story Boards We used:  Foam Cookie sheets Magnets Paper I found the cookie sheets at the dollar store and loved the idea of the kids telling their own stories using movable magnets.   I cut out flowers with the foam (you can cut out any design and use construction paper instead of foam) and little people then stuck a magnet to the back.  I cut out bugs and stuck magnets to the back of those too.    Then I drew little scenes that would inspire a story and put them on the cookie sheet.  One demonstration and their imaginations took off on their own :)
