Directions:

1. Give the kids a handful of sticks and a paper plate

2. Flip the plate upside down to represent the mountain.

3. Have them put a drop of glue on the corners as they stack them up to build an alter on plate.

4. Let them crunch red or orange tissue paper to stick in the middle to represent the fire in the alter.

Relation to Lesson: Abraham was always respectful to God and built an alter many times to represent his honor, love, and reverence to God. This is where he prayed for many things. He trusted that God would always keep his promises and hear his prayers. We should put God before everything else in our lives and trust Him to lead us daily.

Directions:

1. Give the kids a paper plate to start cutting along the outside (see the picture).

2. After they cut all around the plate, cut 1-4 of the edge of the plate off for Abraham's mustache (see picture).

3. On the paper bag, have the kids glue the mustache on the side of the bag that opens (so that they can put their hand in and make a puppet.

4. They can decorate the base of the paper bag to look like Abraham's robe.

5. Lastly, glue on the googley eyes on the front and the construction paper robe on the back of the bag.

Relation to Lesson: Abraham was really old and still hadn't gotten his promise for the Lord to have a son with Sarah. He could have given up! But he trusted the Lord and kept praying to him. God was faithful and gave him and son!

Directions:

1. Have the kids cut a paper plate in half

2. Cut a circle out for the baby's face and have them draw eyes, a nose, a mouth, and a curly cue for the hair (see the picture for details).

3. Past the baby on the center of the plate and fold each side of the plate in to where they touch.

4. Instead of the scripture from the picture, the kids can pick a color of construction paper and write "God kept His promise to Abraham".

Directions:

1. In class divide your children up into two teams and place the bowl with the craft sticks in the middle of the two teams just before the start line.

2. Place cups and the pictures of Cain and Abel at the opposite end of the room across from each team. Place a cup in front of each picture. Children take turns picking up a craft stick, reading it, and then running to the other side of the room, and dropping the craft stick in the appropriate cup. When the bowl is empty the game is over. The team that has the most correct craft sticks in the cups wins.

Younger Children

Place all the craft sticks in a bowl. Let your children take turns picking a craft stick. Read the words craft stick and let the child decide in which cup he or she should place the stick. When all the craft sticks are in the cups, take one out at a time, read it, and ask your children if it is in the correct cup.
