This is lesson two in a 13-week series that I used in my class. I wanted one quarter to introduce the Old Testament with a basic timeline of the people and events. The students can learn what happened in the Old Testament and how those events lead to Jesus. These lessons are a combination of the Life Overview Series and other lessons. I will show you what I used to blend several posts into 13 lessons. It was basically pick and choose and you can change any to fit your needs or wants. For instance, I always teach Esther so that is one of the lessons. And I picked Daniel as the last lesson. Those can be substituted if you have another. This lesson teaches God's Creation and Adam & Eve, so it is not in-depth. The lessons blend and tell the Big Picture. Keep in mind these lessons are slightly longer with very different application reviews. All the visuals in this series have had a major update. I have updated the Days of creation numbers that I used for visuals. I put magnets on the back and added them to my white board as I was teaching. They are also great for bulletin boards and wall visuals. Click here to download the updated days of creation numbers. There are two new information Anchor Charts for creation included. This is one of the application papers we used. I printed on cardstock and had them folded and ready for class. The students can add stickers to complete the picture inside. I let my class draw fruit on the tree. What did they think it looked like? What shape? Taste? Color? Something to think about. Students will draw a line from each picture to the correct number. The rainbow is to add discussion about rain, Noah and God's promise. Noah is the next lesson. Click here to download everything shown above including the lesson and visuals for Adam & Eve. Click here to download the updated visuals. This file contains Creation visuals only for Genesis 1. Click here to download the pictures to color. (These are the same as the visuals but are black & white.) Click here to download the updated visuals. Not all are shown. This file contains visuals for the Garden in Genesis 3. Click here to download the pictures to color. (These are the same as the visuals but are black & white.) I also used this Bible Timeline File Folder Game. I made the pictures into stickers (which they love!) and the students added to it each week. Even though we studied Jesus and Acts after this quarter, rather than removing any pictures, I printed those pictures already on the page along with a couple that we wouldn't have as its own lesson. Click here if you want to print the one, I used with some of the pictures already in place. This includes the completed teacher's visual also. The original file has a teacher's visual completed. and a student file folder without any pictures on the timeline. All pictures will need to be cut and glued or made into stickers to use.

Review: Last week we talked about Philip. He left Jerusalem and went to Gaza, in the desert. He saw a man from Ethiopia. He was the treasurer for the queen. The Eunuch was reading the book of Isaiah in his scrolls. Philip asked if he understood what he was reading. The eunuch said “No” and asked Philip to come on his chariot and explain it to him. When they came to water, he wanted to be baptized. The Eunuch said he believed that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and they both went down into the water. Philip baptized the eunuch and the eunuch returned home very happy. Lesson: Scripture is Acts 9:31-43. During this time, the church was growing, and the people feared God. As Peter was traveling through all parts of the country, he stopped to visit the Christians at Lydda (Lud daw). There was a man there named Aeneas. [I nee' as] He had been paralyzed and bedridden for 8 years. What is paralyzed? Unable to move, with loss of muscle usage or feeling. Peter told him that Jesus is the One that heals you. Get up and make your bed! He immediately got up! He didn't have to work on it or go to therapy. He just got up. And all the people that saw this miracle believed in God. In Joppa, there was a lady and her name was Tabitha. She was also called Dorcas. The Bible says she was full of good works and generous deeds. But, it happened that she became sick and then died. They washed her and laid her in an upper room. The disciples heard that Peter was close by in Lydda (Lud' daw) and sent 2 men begging Peter to come quickly. Peter did return to Joppa with them, and they took him to the upper room where Dorcas was laid out. All the widows stood by Peter, and they were crying because Dorcas had gotten sick and died. They showed him the clothing that Dorcas had made for them. Peter sent them all out of the room and knelt down and he prayed. He turned to the body and said "Tabitha, arise." She opened her eyes and when she saw Peter, she sat up. Peter held out his hand and helped her up. He called in the Christians that were there and the widows and showed them that Dorcas was alive. Remember your Bible verse for today? And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord. Remember, that was why Jesus did miracles. And the Disciples were given the ability do miracles, so people would believe in Jesus. Peter stayed many days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon. What do you think Peter did while he was there? He taught as many people as possible about Jesus and baptized them! To teach the students they can do good things for others, I have cards printed for them to design, sign and give to someone. They can make more if there is enough time, or they can take it home to finish. But I stress that they are expected to hand out the cards (or ask their parents to mail it), because it's not just a fun project. I expect them to tell someone they are thinking about them and made this card for them. I printed these on cardstock, and they are blank on the inside for the kids to design. I have stickers for them to add that are appropriate. Of course, these can be used for any lesson or activity that you want to teach thinking, praying and doing for others. Click here to download. Click here to download Dorcas. Click here to download Aeneas. You can find all the Acts worksheets here. Click here to download the lesson. Click here to download the visuals. Miracles in Acts 9 visuals include Aeneas and Dorcas. All visuals are not shown. Click here to download the pictures to color. (These are the same as the visuals but are black & white.) For our project today, I took a snack to class, and we talked about Dorcas sharing, and helping people. That is what God wants us to do. Then we made a card. I printed the cards on different colors of cardstock. They picked one on the table when they came to class. The kids wrote the name of who they want to give the card to, and then signed it inside. I asked for magazines from people to cut out appropriate pictures they could use, and they added stickers. They can also draw on it to finish it and make it theirs. Here is the very plain card (I wanted them to make it theirs) to print. See the updated version above. Bible Verse: Acts 9:42 Passport: Lydda & Joppa I mentioned to the kids last week that we would be having a snack for this lesson (since Dorcas shared, I am sharing). One of the boys suggested this snack. I said, "That is a good idea, it will remind us of the Eunuch reading the book of Isaiah scrolls." These are so cute! I bought the fruit by the foot and it will make a lot of scrolls! You can see by the picture that I made 2, and there is a lot left! And the stick pretzels were a medium thickness.

King Josiah is such a fun lesson for kids! There are some really great things to learn, too! King Josiah was young and faithful to God.
I love this King Josiah lesson for kids. It's so much fun!
We had so much fun this week! We learned about King Josiah and how excited he was when the Book of the Law was found in the Temple. When they found the lost scroll, it was like finding a treasure, so we talked a lot about how special the Bible is
Josiah is a boy's name meaning "God heals" and is of Hebrew origin. It is derived from the Hebrew name Yoshiyahu.
