Activities:

• Home Connection

  • DO: Encourage children to color their paper then glue the coffee stirrer to the staff in Moses’ hands. Have children rub glue on the tab and help them glue the tab to the back of the other edge to make the table tent.
  • SAY: “Today, in our Bible story, we heard how God gave Moses family and friends to help him. God gives us friends and family to help us, too. Let’s make a table topper of Moses with the people who helped him. Look, there’s Moses with his arms holding up the staff. And Aaron and Hur are helping him. Use the crayons to color your paper. (Pause.) Great! Look at this. (Hold up a coffee stirrer/popsicle sticks.) It looks like Moses’ staff. Glue it to your picture. (Pause.) See this tab? (Point to the tab.) Rub some glue along that tab. (Pause.) Fold up your paper like this. (Demonstrate.) Now tuck the tab behind the edge and press to seal. (Pause.) You have a standing craft of our Bible story today. Moses was the leader of God’s people, the Israelites. One day, some people who didn’t love God came to attack them. Moses knew God would help them, so he held up God’s staff and the Israelites started winning! But his arms got tired, and he put them down. Then God’s army started losing. Moses put his arms back up and couldn’t put them down. They were getting really tired. He needed help. Moses’ brother Aaron and their friend, Hur, came to help. They brought a rock for Moses to sit on and helped hold up his arms. And the Israelites won! God gave Aaron and Hur to Moses to help him. God gives each of us family, too, and we can take good care of each other. We can look at our friends and family and say, ‘God is good!’ Who is good? [Bottom Line] God is good.”
