2Big Idea⌄
With children seated, introduce the big idea (Tibo Tiger puppet optional), saying: “Hello Tibo. Are you ready to learn about Noah and the ark?” Tibo: ”What is an ark?” Teacher: “An Ark is a really big boat. God told Noah how to build an ark. Our Bible verse today is, 'Noah did everything God told him to do.' Noah and his family loved God and they obeyed God. Let’s watch a video."
3Video⌄
Show the "Little Noah : Noah Obeyed God" video on your available TV or device.
4Video Review / Discussion / Takeaway⌄
With children seated, hold up a large photo of the Ark Encounter and then, the finished craft (e.g. see min. 8:25): “Did you like the story of Noah building the ark? Noah’s ark was very big to hold Noah’s family and all the animals. Look how big it is compared to the people. Noah built the ark just as God told him. Would you like to make a small one? First, let’s review our Bible verse: 'Noah did everything (arms wide) God (point upward) told him (point to mouth) to do (hammering motion).'”
5Activity⌄
Allow children to build with blocks or other construction toys, then distribute ark in 3 parts (boat, waves, upper deck) and help children tape parts together, then apply animal stickers.
6Snack / Play Time⌄
Serve, if applicable. Teacher: “Remember how Noah and his family prayed before they ate? Let’s all pray around our table.” Allow play time as needed.
7Song⌄
Teacher: Hold up ark picture or a child’s work. “You did very well following directions. Remember: 'Noah did everything God told him to do.' Noah was obedient. Let’s sing about obedience." Play “Obedience Song" on your available device.
8Song Takeaway / Discussion⌄
Teacher, with Tibo Tiger puppet (optional): “Tibo, now do you know what an ark is?” Tibo: “Yes, it is a BIG boat. And Noah built it just as told him to do.” Teacher: “That’s right, Tibo. God loves us and wants us to love and obey our parents. ‘Obedience is the very best thing,’ isn’t it children?” Practice memory verse one more time (with signing).
9Activity⌄
Children color line drawing of Noah’s ark; possibly tape their ark construction onto the page to take home.
