Noah Activities

Our Bible theme this month is the story of Noah.  Everyday we read and talk about the story.

Hailey is playing with her ark and the animals.  We sorted the animals together so that there were 2 of each kind and then Hailey put them on the ark with Noah.  (She calls Noah “Ho, Ho” because he looks like Santa…)

We’ve been talking about how the rainbow was God’s promise so we we started making our own rainbow.

Draw a rainbow (I did my best, I am terrible at drawing), get some scrap paper to tear up, and some glue.

We glued the red onto the rainbow.  We only did red because Hailey was pretty much just eating the glue and not really interested in doing anymore colors.  So, it was time to stop the activity.

Noah Matching Game

Our Bible theme for this month is the story of Noah.  We started out by reading the story of Noah in Hailey’s Bible.  I also have a book about Noah that we read.  I don’t particularly like the book though so if anyone has any recommendations for a good Noah book, please share.  We also started working on a new memory verse- “God will keep His promise. Hebrews 11:11.”

And then we played this matching game:

I printed out two copies of this Animal Matching Game onto card stock and covered them with contact paper.  I left one copy as a whole piece and then cut up the other one into cards.

Then Hailey matched up the animals.

Very simple and Hailey loved it!

Creation Days 6 and 7

We finished up our Creation theme with days 6 and 7.

For day 6 you will need: glue, card stock, picture of your child, picture of various animals, paper that says “Day 6″ and paper that says “God created animals and people.”

Have your child glue his/her picture in the middle of the paper and then put the pictures of the animals all around.

Finished Day 6- God created animals and people.

For day 7 you will need card stock, glue, a paper that says “Day 7,” a paper that says “God rested,” a picture of the earth and a heart.  When I sent these images to the printer they were much bigger.  I’m not sure why they ended up so small when I actually printed them.  Then I was having some computer and printer problems and didn’t want to deal with the hassle of reprinting them.  But, I wanted them to be much bigger.

The finished Day 7- God rested.

You see all of the days from our creation series at Story of Creation.

Creation Days 4 and 5

Last week I taught Hailey about days 4 and 5 of creation.  Here are the pictures we made to add to our Creation Story Wall.

Here’s what you’ll need: paper, glue, moon, stars, sun, yellow crayon, paper that says “Day 4″ and paper that says, “God created the sun, moon and stars.”

Hailey glued on the sun and moon.  The stars were stickers that she placed on.  When she was done I helped her draw the beams coming out of the sun with a yellow crayon.

Finished Day 4- God created the sun, moon and stars.

And day 5-

You’ll need: paper, glue, cotton, blue tissue paper, pictures of fish, paint, paper that says “day 5″ and paper that says “God created fish and birds.”

Glue the cotton on for clouds and the tissue paper on for water.  Then add some fish to the water.

Use your child’s finger print to make birds.  I showed Hailey how to do a few of them and then she took over.

Finished Day 5- God created fish and birds.
