Activity: Noah’s Ark Story Time

Desired Outcome: As I listen to the story of Noah’s Ark, I am developing my understanding of what is fair and unfair and the importance of caring for, sharing and cooperating with others.

Introduction: Begin by introducing the story of Noah’s Ark to the children. Explain that it is a story from the Bible about a man named Noah who built a big boat to save himself, his family, and the animals from a flood. Ask the children if they have heard the story before and what they know about it.

Main Activity: 1. Read the story of Noah’s Ark to the children, using a children’s Bible or a simplified version of the story. As you read, pause to ask questions and encourage the children to share their thoughts and feelings about the story.

1. After reading the story, ask the children to think about what they learned from the story. Ask questions such as: - What did Noah do to prepare for the flood? - Why did God send the flood? - How did Noah and his family care for the animals on the ark? - What can we learn from Noah’s example?

2. Encourage the children to share their thoughts and feelings about the story. Ask them to think about how they can apply the lessons from the story to their own lives. For example, they can talk about how they can care for animals, share with others, and cooperate with their friends and family.

Conclusion: Wrap up the activity by summarizing the key points of the story and the lessons that the children learned. Encourage them to continue thinking about the story and how they can apply its lessons to their daily lives. You can also provide a coloring sheet or a craft activity related to the story for the children to complete.
