Children make a 3D Bible scene of Moses striking a rock to bring forth water to help them review and remember the Bible lesson. Moses' arm moves up and down so children can reinact the story. After moving Moses' arm up and down twice, they fold up the spouting water picture that is hidden behind the foreground picture.

How to Play

1. Players take turns throwing the die and moving many spaces.

2. If a player lands on a Situation Square, the teacher reads the matching Situation Card. The player then picks one of the Solution Cards and reads it.

If the Solution Card matches the Situation Card, the player can move from that space on his next turn.

If it doesn’t match, the player must try again to pick a matching card on his next turn. The Situation Card is replaced in the Situation Card pile. The cards should be mixed up and placed on the table again. The “Pray about it” and “Ask an adult” cards are solutions to any of the Situation Cards.

If the player picks a matching card on his next turn, he can throw the die and
move forward.

3. The player that reaches the end of the game board first wins.

Children try to guess the letters that spell out the Bible verse before the sun goes down. Each time they guess a letter that isn’t used in the verse, the sun strip is moved down one space. If the sun goes down before they finish the complete sentence, they lose.

1. Print out the activity sheets and the sun strips. Print out two activity sheets for every one sun strip page.

2. Cut the sun strips apart.

3. In class put your children into groups of two and hand out one of the activity sheets and one sun strip to each group.

4. Tell your groups to pick one child to be the guesser and one to be the person who writes the letters that are guessed.

5. When the guesser has guessed all the words, tell your children that they should look up the verse in their Bibles to confirm that the Bible verse is correct, and to read the rest of the verse to answer the question at the bottom of the activity sheet.

3. Use a scoring tool and ruler to score the dotted lines on the pattern to make it easier to fold. If you don’t have a scoring tool, you can just use something with a thin blunt edge such as a dinner knife.

4. In class have your children fanfold the patterns starting by folding the bottom or top edge back and then folding in the opposite directions each time they fold on a dotted line.

2. In class tell your students that there are many colorful words that describe anger such as blood-boiling mad, ruffled feathers, fly off the handle, foaming at the mouth, knickers in a twist, going off the deep end, going through the roof, hot under the collar, kick yourself, steamed up, seeing red, rant and rave, short fuse, about to explode, blow a fuse, blow your top, up in arms, on the warpath, bite your head off, and seeing red.  Write the words on the board as you review them.

3. Give each child a word card and have them take turns acting out the word phrases that describe anger.

4. Tell the other students that they will have only one chance to guess what word phrases the child is acting out. They cannot speak out of turn and must raise their hands if they think they know the answer. If they guess wrong, they do not get to guess again. If the child guesses correctly, he or she gets to keep the card.  The child with the most cards at the end of the game wins.
