TALK ABOUT THE BIBLE STORYTALK ABOUT THE BIBLE STORYOpen your Bible to Exodus 1 and tell the Bible story.

• Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, did not like the

Hebrews; he thought there were too many of

them. He wanted to harm Hebrew baby boys.

• One mother wanted to protect her baby boy.

She hid him for three months; then she could

not hide him any longer. She made a basket

from reeds that grew near the river. She coated

the inside and outside of the basket to keep the

water out. Then she put the baby in the basket

and set the basket in the tall grass by the edge

of the river. The mother told the baby’s sister,

Miriam, to watch what would happen next.

• Pharaoh’s daughter came to the river. She saw

the basket among the reeds and sent a servant

to get the basket. When she saw the baby in the

basket, he was crying. She felt sorry for him and

said, “This is one of the Hebrew boys.”

• Miriam said, “Should I go and call one of the

Hebrew women to take care of the baby?”

• “Go,” Pharaoh’s daughter said. “I will pay her to

take care of this baby.” So the baby’s mother

took him home. When he was older she took

him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her

son. She named him Moses.

• The Israelites worked hard for Pharaoh (the king).

Moses took his brother Aaron to see Pharaoh.

Moses said, “God says, ‘Let My people go.’ ”

• “No!” said Pharaoh. “They do too much work for

me. They must stay and work.”

• God spoke to Moses, “Go again and tell Pharaoh

to let My people go. I will show Pharaoh My

power. Tell the people that I will free them.”

• Moses and Aaron went again to speak to

Pharaoh. “God says, ‘Let My people go!’” said

Moses. Again Pharaoh said, “No!”

• To show His power, God made all the water in

the Nile River undrinkable. But Pharaoh would

not listen. He did not let the people go.

• Eight more times Moses and Aaron went to

Pharaoh. Each time God made something

happen to the Egyptians—frogs, gnats, flies,

hail, locusts, and no sunlight during the day. But

Pharaoh still would not let the people go.

• Moses told the people to get ready. God knew

that Pharaoh would soon allow them to leave.

• The people did everything God said. The next

morning, Pharaoh let the people leave Egypt.

TALK ABOUT THE BIBLE STORYTALK ABOUT THE BIBLE STORYOpen your Bible to Exodus 3 and tell the Bible story.

• Before Moses led the Israelite people out

of Egypt, before he led the Israelites to

cross the Red Sea, before God gave the Ten

Commandments, and before Moses spoke to

families, Moses talked to God. Here is what the

Bible says:

• One day Moses was tending his father-in-law’s

sheep. He was far away from everyone, in the

wilderness by a mountain.

• Moses saw a bush that was on fire. But the bush

did not burn up! Moses went closer to see this

amazing sight.

• Then God spoke to Moses from the bush. God

called Moses’ name, and Moses answered. God

told Moses to remove his sandals because this

was a special place. Then God told Moses His

plans to bring the Israelite people out of Egypt.

• Moses spoke with God and tried to make

excuses. But God told Moses, “You will be the

one to do this!”

• After talking with God, Moses obeyed.

BIBLE-LEARNING ACTIVITIESBIBLE-LEARNING ACTIVITIESTalk about the Bible story as the children work at

each activity. Review the Life Verse.

A. Spell a word. Lead younger preschoolers

to build places where they can pray. For

pre-kindergartners, print on sticky notes

the letters P, R, A, Y. Make a set for every two

children. Gather a pile of wooden blocks. Stick

a letter on each block. Print the word PRAY on

a large sheet of paper and place it next to the

blocks. Guide the older preschoolers to use

the blocks to form the word. Mention that we

talk to God when we pray.

B. Color a place you go. Wrap a shoe box or a

wooden block in brown or white paper. Give a

covered box or block to each child. Challenge

the children to use markers to make the box

or block look like a place they go (backyard,

church, park, grocery store, etc.). Comment

that Moses talked to God after he had gone

up a mountain to take care of sheep. Note that

we can talk to God anywhere we go.

C. Make craft stick people. Give each child a

large craft stick and markers. Lead the children

to draw a person on their craft sticks. Provide

paper towels, fabric scraps, or yarn to wrap

around the craft stick for clothing. Tell the

Bible story as the children work.

D. Make friendship bracelets. Provide large

beads and yarn to make bracelets. Lead each

child to make a bracelet for a friend. As the

children work, tell the Bible story. Encourage

them to pray for the friend who will receive

their bracelet. Note: Closely supervise 3-year-

olds as they handle the large beads.

CLEAN UPCLEAN UPAssign each child a cleanup task. Thank the

preschoolers for their help.

GO ON A SCAVENGER HUNTGO ON A SCAVENGER HUNTWad scrap paper of different colors. Hide the paper

wads in obvious places around the room. Challenge

the children to find the red paper wad, the blue

paper wad, and so forth. After the children regroup,

ask any child wearing red (hold up the red paper

wad) to hop three times. Ask any child wearing blue

(hold up the blue paper wad) to touch toes three

times. Continue with other colors and commands.

Thank God for the children wearing red, blue, green

(include all of the children). Thank God for the

opportunity to talk to Him when we pray. Invite the

children to add to the prayer. Comment that prayer

is talking to God.
