Visual Aids, Resources, Patterns and Instructions for Bible Stories

Fall, 2015

We Learn God Keeps His Children Secure

Young children listen more readily when a teacher uses visuals to illustrate the story. The pictures for these stories use a variety of teaching methods. The Bible story presentation for each lesson will guide you in using the visual effectively. Teaching resources other than these Bible story pictures will help make class time more interesting for the learners. The teacher’s guide has sug-gestions for them.

Visuals: Flash cards 1-1 through 1-6

Resources: Items 1-3

Item 1—Door Banner. The beauty of God’s autumn world is too good to keep outside. Add a touch of fall to your classroom with this welcome banner. During the fall quarter, display the banner on the door at learners’ eye level. Decorating your room with seasonal or les-son-related materials makes coming to God’s house an exciting time for boys and girls.

Item 2—Bulletin Board Pictures. This unit about learning to accept God’s will features Bible-time men who were outstanding in their example of submission to God. The bulletin board display for Unit 1 will help learners understand what it means to accept God’s will. Circum stances of life are not always pleasant, but God is with His people through it all. Cut out the pictures. Arrange them on the bulletin board with cutout letters as shown in the teacher’s guide.

Item 3—Attendance Chart. One of the things chil-dren enjoy at Sunday School is adding a seal to a space

on the attendance chart. Your schedule should include letting them record their attendance in this way. By making a special time for it and allowing them to par-ticipate, you teach them that you are glad they are present and that coming to God’s house each week is important. Miniature stickers are inexpensive and add so much to the joyful experience at Sunday School. Color the space with a marker or crayon if you cannot get stickers.

Prepare the visuals: Cut apart the six cards. Attach each to a half sheet of construction paper to form a border. Use them as flash cards while telling the story. Then have the learners attach the cards side by side on the wall to form a band of progressive scenes that show the story action.

Bible Story Noah lived during a time of great wickedness. (Use your voice to show learners how terrible the social cli-mate was.) The only thing people thought about was doing wrong all the time. It made God very sad to see the people so wicked. Noah and his family were the only ones who loved God. (Show the character contrast by softening your voice and nodding your head.) Noah wanted to do what was right. He thought about good things and how to please God. But besides Noah’s family, no one else did. God looked down on earth. He saw the awful way people treated each other. God decided to destroy all the badness from the earth. He told His plans to Noah.

(Display flash card 1-1. Read the following poem with a rhythmic, sing-song pattern. Point out details in the pictures as named in the poem.)

“Make you an ark of gopher wood,” God said to Noah one day. “I’m gonna destroy this wicked world And start all over a new way.

“Put rooms in the ark, three stories high, A window all around and a door in the side.” God told Noah just what to do. How big it should be, and sealing it, too.

(Show flash card 1-2.) Old Noah got busy! He completely obeyed. He built that ark; it took many a day.

He supplied the ark with lots of food, As God said that he should do. For Noah knew well to obey the Lord And accept His divine will, too.

(Show flash card 1-3.) “Come on board with your family,” God said when it was done. For Noah lived right before his God Of all men under the sun.

Two by two the creatures came, They found their special berth. They would start afresh after the flood To replenish animals on earth.

(Show flash card 1-4.) When all were in place, God shut the door. No one could enter then. God’s judgment was sure and still is today. He will not put up with sin.

After seven days, the rain began. It really started to pour. The windows of Heaven were opened wide, The floodwater began to roar.

(Show flash card 1-5.) The earth was covered and everything in it. Not a single soul survived. But Noah obeyed, so he was safe, With his wife and family inside.

For all of a year the flood was there, Then the water began to go away. A strong wind blew; the water went down, And Noah—he heard God say:

(Show flash card 1-6.) “Come out of the ark and start life anew, You and your family. Let animals go wherever they choose.”

And they all came out with glee!

Now Noah’s story has a lesson for us. We must obey God you see. Accepting God’s will is the way to live, And be happy in eternity.

(Use Plasti-Tak to put the flash cards on the wall. Say just a sentence or two to summarize each scene after the learner tells what he knows about it.)

Visuals: Styrofoam storyboard figures 2-1 through 2-6

Make a storyboard from a 6'' x 12'' x 1'' block of Styro-foam. Carefully cut five ½'' deep slits lengthwise across the block. Work slowly to control the knife so the Styrofoam does not break. Optional: reinforce it by glu-ing a base of poster board or felt to the bottom. Set the figures in the slits as the story progresses.

Bible Story (Set figure 2-1 in a slit on the storyboard.) Job loved God. He wanted to do right every day. He hated evil. He worshiped the Lord God with a clean heart. Job was very rich. (Place figures 2-2, 2-3, 2-4 and 2-5 in the storyboard.) He had thousands of animals. (Let learners name the animals they see in the figures.) There were sheep, donkeys, oxen and camels. It took many workers to take care of all the animals and raise grain to feed them. Some of the workers were plowing the fields with oxen one day. Suddenly, a gang of robbers appeared. They killed the workers. Then they took the oxen and donkeys for themselves. (Remove figure 2-2 and place face down behind storyboard.) Only one worker escaped alive. He hurried to tell Job about it. On another part of the farm, shepherds were watch-ing Job’s seven thousand sheep. Fire came out of the
