5. Answer the Big Picture Question

8. Do one or both of the Activities

Activity #1: Holy Ground

Directions 

Invite your children to remove their shoes. Provide each child with a sheet of paper and a pencil or pen. Help your kids trace their feet. Allow them to decorate their paper with stickers, markers, or other craft supplies.

Say 

Today we will hear about Moses. God spoke to Moses in a miraculous way, and one of the things God told Moses to do was take off his shoes. Why do you think God would tell Moses to take off his shoes? What are some reasons we might take off our shoes? We’ll learn more soon! 

Activity #2: Burning Bush

Directions 

Give your children a sheet of paper and bits of red, yellow, and orange tissue paper. Tell your kids to draw a bush using brown crayons or markers. Then provide glue to help them stick fire-colored tissue paper all over their paper.

Say 

Moses saw a bush that was covered in fire but did not burn up. He was curious to see it and went to investigate. When he got closer, God spoke to him. God called Moses to deliver His people from captivity. It was a big job, and Moses was afraid to accept it, but God promised to help him and give him power. 

Jesus was sent by God with an even bigger job: to die on the cross and rescue us from our sin. Jesus obeyed God perfectly, and only He can lead us out of captivity to sin and into God’s kingdom. 

EXTRA TIPS

  • If your grade-schooler is in First or Second Grade, start the morning working on the coloring sheet and activity page.

  • As time permits, do one activity before the Bible Story Video and one activity afterward, to help reinforce the message.

  • If your grade-schooler is in Third, Fourth, or Fifth Grade, download and print the Older Kid Journal Page for them to work on at the end of the lesson
