  • Painter’s Tape

1. Read the Bible Passage | Genesis 42-46; 50

4. Review the Key Verse

Hosea 13:4b, “You know no God but me, and besides me there is no savior.”

5. Answer the Big Picture Question

God can do all things.

6. Pray together

7. Do one or both of the Activities

Activity #1: Draw Food

Directions 

Encourage your kids to draw food items onto paper. Invite your children to talk about the foods they drew. Talk about specific foods and ask whether your child likes or dislikes it.

Say 

When you are hungry, what kind of food do you like to eat? In today’s Bible story, Jacob and his family did not have enough food to eat. No one had enough food to eat! Except in Egypt. So, Jacob sent 10 of his sons to Egypt to buy food. Can you guess who the brothers had to see to buy food? Joseph! Listen to the Bible story to hear what happened. 

Activity #2: Drive Toy Cars

Directions 

Use painter’s tape to create roads on your floor. Arrange toy vehicles by the masking tape roads. Play out traveling on a long trip. Talk about making stops along the way for food. 

Say 

Joseph was in Egypt, a long way from his homeland, but God had a plan for him to be there. There wasn’t much food in the land, and Joseph’s family was hungry. His brothers traveled a long way to Egypt to buy grain. Listen to hear how God used Joseph to rescue his family. 

EXTRA TIPS

  • 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.

  • Encourage your preschooler to memorize the Key Verse, Hosea 13:4b.
