Lesson: Exodus 14-20

Songs: Ten Commandments Boogie

Reading: The Jesus Storybook Audio Bible: Ten Ways to be Perfect

Movie: Found these on YouTube..

Table: Ten Commandments Train Craft

We connected our train together with staples. (That's all I had..) Came out nice though. EZ n Raya glued each car onto pieces of colored construction paper they had preciously cut in halves themselves.

Talking Points: (throughout the day)

Moses on the mountain

Talking to God
Counting to 10

Each Commandment

Obeying Rules
God's People

Play:

We took turns being Moses on the "mountain." I pretended to be God speaking to them and wrote the numbers 1-10 on their fingers as I recited each commandment to the corresponding number.
They were just thrilled to be able to climb the couch without reprimand..lol

Trying to Grow Up

At 3 years old, Mommy thought she was already grown. What you also can't see in this picture is the high heel shoes that were about 12 sizes too big..

This was Mommy's first attempt today. We were watching a movie, so I figured I'd take advantage and try a style that actually takes longer 20-30 minutes..

Her hair is so fine at the edges, I wasn't sure if I'd be able to make it..

but I think it turned out ok.

School Day: Moses

Lesson: Exodus 1-13

Songs: He's Got the Whole World in His Hands

Reading: The Jesus Storybook Bible: God to the Rescue

Movie: The Prince of Egypt

Table: Mess-free water coloring

We each drew a picture of Moses on some paper. Added some water with a few drops of blue food coloring to gallon zip-lock bags, sealed it, then taped it over the picture, directly onto the table.

It was fun for them to try and "part" the water in the bag with their fingers, and try to see the picture of Moses underneath.

Talking Points: (throughout the day)

Moses as a baby

Egypt

Pharoah

The burning bush

The 10 plagues

Parting the Red Sea

God's power

Play: Prince of Egypt

We acted out the story of Moses as a baby. We took turns being his "Mommy" and sending baby Moses down the river in a basket.

My furniture re-arranging actually served as double-duty! We also used it for the parting of the Red Sea. We took turns being Moses. Each would say "With the power of God, all things are possible!" and then put the staff in the sea. Then lead everyone through the water. This lasted about 20 mins. (Eventually they just started running through it, and chasing eachother..)

Another Family Day

This is what it looks like when you force your family to stand outside in the parking lot to take some pictures, lol! It was Memorial Day, and Daddy had the day off, so we went to Coney Island at River Park and played some arcade games..
