I’m delighted to share with you another guest post from one of my favorite authors for Christian children’s materials, Danika Cooley.
Hands-on learning is a great way to cement knowledge. Your family will love these fun Moses children’s activities.
Have you noticed that our children remember what they’ve learned so much better when we include hands-on learning, play, and story? I think that’s why God gave us Scripture in the form of the story of his people. In that story he included object lessons we would be sure to remember. As a mom, and as a Bible teacher, it’s one of the reasons I’ve always loved including activities that will help my children visualize and consider what they’ve learned about God’s Word.
Fun Moses Children’s Activities
Moses was God’s prophet, a humble man, who knew God face to face. Moses was called by God to rescue the Israelites from slavery in Egypt and to lead them to freedom in the Promised Land. The fascinating story of how God led Moses and the Israelites from Egypt to Canaan spans four books of the Bible. You can help your 7-12 year olds learn Moses’ story, discover what God taught the Israelites about himself, and how he taught his people to worship him with these fun activities. Your children are sure to remember what they’ve learned as they play!
