Teaching Creation to Children: Ideas and Printables

01/25/2013 by Heidi



Did you know that ABCJesusLovesMe contains a listing of specific ideas for each of the major Bible stories?

Creation
Noah
Jesus’ Birth
Gideon
…and the list goes on!

 Day 2

For each of the Bible stories, you will find ideas such as crafts, books, coloring pages, printables, songs, poems, computer games, and snack ideas.  Also included are links to other ideas online. A few of the stories also include flannelgraph stories that I have written.

Sun Moon Stars
Today, I am going to share a few of the ideas from the ABCJLM website to help children understand the story of Creation.
Creation Wheel
So far you have seen photos of just a few of the craft ideas.  Directions and a supply list is provided for each idea.
And, here is a fun idea that works on fine motor skills as well:

Creation Fingerplay

On Day 1 (On numbers – put corresponding fingers in the air)
God created light (close fists and then quickly open in the air and bring down to side creating arches)
On Day 2
God created the sky (wave arms in the air) and water (make waves with hands)
On Day 3
God
created land (with palms facing the floor, run hands flat in front of
you) and plants (place one fist inside the other and pop the one fist
through the other – sign language for plant)
On Day 4
God created
the sun (hold arm up in the air with fingers spread wide), moon (with
opposite arm make a “c” formation with your hand in the air), and stars
(with index fingers putting up alternate right and left hand moving up
in the air – sign language for stars)
On Day 5
God created the fish (swim hands with palms together) and birds (join thumbs and fly hands in the air)
On Day 6
God created animals (choose your favorite animal) and people (point with thumbs at self)
On Day 7
God rested (place hands together by face as sleeping)

Take a moment to check out the ideas listed in this post as well as many more and then be sure to for later use!
