| What
you will do:
Using the construction paper cut out six fish shapes. Write the first
six books of the Bible on the six fish shapes (One book per fish shape.)
Attach a paper clip to each of the fish shapes. Cut several pieces of
string and tie a small magnet to each of the strings. The strings should
be two or three feet in length. They kids will take turns using these
strings to fish. You can put the fish in a big box or spread them out
on the floor. You should review the books six at time. Once the kids have
mastered the first six books of the Bible, you can move on to the next
six books.
Each week review the books you have already caught and put on the wall.
What you will say:
Jesus chose his disciples and made them fishers of men. We too can become
fishers of men for Jesus. One way we can become better fishers of men,
is by studying God's word the Bible. Today we will be working on learning
the first six books of the Bible. (Hand out the fishing strings.) The
object of the game is to catch the fish in the correct order. Each fish
has a book of the Bible written on it. We will need to catch the fish
with Genesis written on it first, then we will fish for Exodus and the
list goes on. As your fishing for the books of the Bible say the name
of the book we're fishing for. If you catch the correct fish you can tack
it on the wall, then we will fish for the next book of the Bible. If you
catch a fish, that's not the book of the Bible we're fishing for, put
the fish back into the pond and pass the fishing string to another child. |
