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..)
