teacher who will present the lesson. You*ll also find a few
Bible verses to review prior to teaching the lesson.
What You will Need:
A list of items you will need to present the lesson.

stories or examples.
Prayer:

Suggested Activities:
Games, crafts, or activities that allow the children to respond
to the Lesson
Teaching Tips:
Read over the Teacher Pep Talk and review the suggested Bible Verses in advance,
so that the Bible truths will be in your own heart before you try to teach the children#.
This is the secret of being a good teacher!
Suggested Activities are just that# Suggestions! You may think of even better
games, crafts, drawings or activities to do with the children. If so, then DO THEM!
Remember, you have different gifts and talents than anyone else. You may have
different resources available. Ask God to help you be creative in ways to reach out to
the children with His message!
The Major Points are the ideas that are to be conveyed to the children during the
Lesson. These are stated in very simple terms, but they are vast concepts to propose.
Children are AMAZING in that they can understand these very big things, even if they
are stated in very simple words. Perhaps this is why our Savior instructed us that the
Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ※such as these§.

Each time you teach children YOU SHOULD NOT FAIL TO DO THESE 3 THINGS:
? LISTEN to them
? PRAY with and for them
? Let them see you READ from THE BIBLE
LISTEN: Sit on the floor with the children and ask them how their week went. Then
LISTEN to the various children as they tell you something that is on their heart or mind.
Often this takes time and effort, but the children NEED to be able to tell you about them,
so that you can connect.
PRAY: At the beginning of your time together, pray with the children and for the
children. You may wish to pray for some of their concerns or for your time together.
Ask God to help you teach the lesson so that they will be blessed by it. Do this out loud.
Children need to know that you pray and that they can pray as well.
READ from the BIBLE: Hold the Bible in your hands or in your lap and let the children
SEE you read at least one verse from it. It is good for them to know that there is a
reference where we may go to seek God*s answers. If they see you read from it, they
will learn that they may do so as well.
God bless you as you work with the children to present these great spiritual truths to
them! May your work in the field bring a great harvest for the Kingdom of God!
With love in Christ,
Sharon
Special Note regarding the Old Testament Lessons: (Genesis and Exodus)
These are two great sets of lessons to help the children understand the sequence of the
various events in the Old Testament Bible Stories. To help with this, plan a TIMELINE
to be posted in your classroom.
The easiest way to do this is to stretch a piece of yarn, or clothesline, across one wall of
your room. Explain to the children that it is a timeline, which begins at the beginning of
time with creation and moves toward the present. (Many of them will know what a
number line is; they are similar, as the time also increases as you go from left to right.)
As you learn the various stories, put up a piece of paper on the timeline for each one.
Use one of the activity pages, if you like, for each lesson. This will help the children
remember the story. Use clothespins to attach the paper to the timeline.
Each week or so, review the names of the stories on the timeline with the children. This
will help them remember the stories and learn the order in which they occurred in
history. You will be amazed at how much more they will learn if you use this method!

Moses in the Bulrushes (Miriam)
Teacher Pep Talk: Not the most auspicious of beginnings# being placed in a basket
and then deposited in a river# But, that is exactly what happened
to baby Moses. In order to save him from Pharaoh*s edict that all of
the Hebrew male infants were to be killed, Moses* mother placed
him in a basket of reeds, which she had covered with tar and pitch.
With Moses* sister Miriam standing watch, she carefully placed the
basket among the bulrushes at the bank of the river. When
Pharaoh*s daughter came to bathe, she found the basket and
adopted Moses as her own son. The faithful Miriam then helped
the princess find a nurse for Moses; happily, it was his own mother!
You will need:
Bible
Other items depending on the activities chosen

Moses* Mother Took Care of Him
Scripture Ref:

Lesson:
Israel*s Family (the Hebrews) Lived in Egypt
? [Be sure to start with your Bible sitting on your lap.]
? [Review the Timeline in the classroom, if available 每 See series
lessons instructions. The Genesis series ended with the story
of Jacob/Israel being reunited with Joseph, his son, in Egypt.]
? Jacob/Israel and his family had come to Egypt to escape the
famine. It was a large family. They called them the Hebrews.
? They had stayed there for a long time (400 years!) That*s a
really long time! (If we all held our fingers up it would be WAY
more years than that! Let*s count by hundreds to get to 400.)
? In that long amount of time they had gone from being honored
guests in Egypt to being full-time slaves in Egypt!
? The king (or Pharaoh) who had known them and liked them was
gone# and now the new Pharaoh treated them as slaves.
? Not only that, but Pharaoh was just plain scared of the Hebrews.
He thought there were too many of them!

Exodus (Moses 每 Promised Land) 每 Lesson 1
Sunday School Center
Pharaoh Ordered the Hebrew Baby Boys Killed
? Pharaoh wanted to get rid of the Hebrews, or at least to slow
them down a little, so he ordered all their little baby boys killed.
? What a terrible thing! Poor little Hebrew baby boys. What do
you think? Should Pharaoh have done that? Why/ Why not?
? During this time one special Hebrew family had a very special
baby boy, his name was Moses. (Repeat ※Moses§)
By Faith, Moses* Parents Hid Him
? Moses had a mom and a dad, and a sister named Miriam
? The Bible says that by faith Moses* parents hid him from
Pharaoh*s order. (Hebrews 11:23)
? They didn*t want to see their fine baby boy killed.
? What do you think? Was that a good thing or a bad thing? It
was a good thing. Even though Pharaoh had ordered the baby
boys to be killed, the parents knew that was wrong.
? They decided to do what was right because they believed in
God. They didn*t do the wrong thing that Pharaoh had ordered.
Instead they hid their son and kept him safe.
? They trusted in God for his future (and for theirs.)
Moses* Mother made a Basket for Him
? When the baby was 3 months old they realized they couldn*t
keep him hidden anymore. After all, he was getting pretty big!
? [For this next part you will need a volunteer from the audience.
? Ask one child, preferably one who has a baby sister or
brother at home, to come up and make crying noises like an
infant. The child should get louder as you go along, trying to
talk over them. Have fun# You may want to warn neighboring
teachers about potential noise. ?]
? How many of you have ever heard a baby cry? (Cover your
ears and talk more loudly.) How loud are they? (Talk even more
loudly.) They can be pretty LOUD, can*t they?! Especially if
they are HUNGRY! Or MAD about something! It*s pretty hard
to hide a baby who is that LOUD! (OK# thank you# that*s
enough crying for now!)
? So, Moses* parents realized that they couldn*t hide him forever.
? Moses* mother got a special basket made out of reeds and then
covered the outside of it with tar so that it would float and be
watertight. Then she put baby Moses in the basket and placed
it carefully in the reeds next to the bank in the river.
Miriam Watched over Moses in the Basket in the River
? Moses had an older sister, named Miriam
? Miriam stayed and watched over the basket in the river to see
what would happen to baby Moses.
