Song – “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”
Song – “Did you Ever Hear?” (tune: Did you ever see a Lassie?)
Game – “The Animal Race”
- When Noah had to get all the animals on the ark, some of them must have had to travel a long way to get there. Today we’ll travel the way some of them did to get safely to the ark.
- This can be done broken into groups, relay style, or all together. Place a piece of tape on the floor for a long tree branch to climb on. Drape a blanket over two chairs for a cave to climb through. Tape down paper circles as stepping stones to cross a wide river. Finally pick an area to be the ark.
- Once everyone arrives at the ark, they may make a rainbow necklace (fruit loops and yarn).
Story Magnifier – Build an Ark
- God instructed Noah to build an ark or large boat to save his family and animals from the flood.
- Using Legos have the children either alone or in pairs build their own ark.
Art – Water Color Rainbows
- In our story today, after raining for forty days and forty nights, God put a rainbow in the sky as a promise to never destroy the earth with a flood again. Use the water color paints to create your own rainbow (or ark or animal or something else from the story).
