SUGGESTED DATE:week of September 11

LEADER BIBLE STUDY Nature is better to watch than most television programs! A quick glance through the

window or from a back porch can be a study of deer, squirrels, birds, dogs, cows, or

chickens. At the beach a person can enjoy watching seagulls and pelicans flying along

the coastline and crabs and turtles crawling on the sand. It would not be uncommon

to see a pod of porpoises swim by.

It is astounding how many different kinds of living creatures inhabit this planet.

Both on land and in the sea, the diversity of life and balance of nature testify to a

Master Designer. In the first session, we looked at the first four days of God’s creative

work. On the fifth day, God continued His handiwork by filling the earth with all sorts

of living species. He created fish and other aquatic life to swarm the seas. He made

winged birds to fly through the skies. The word created (Genesis 1: 21) is the Hebrew

word bara, the same word for a special creation as used in Genesis 1:1.

The sixth day of creation began with God making higher forms of land animals:

livestock, crawling creatures, and wildlife.

Go look out a window. How many different living creatures can you see? List

them here: _______________________________________________________

How does the balance of nature testify to the existence of God? (See

Romans 1:18-20.) ___________________________________________________

In your opinion, should people respect animals, either wild or domesticated?

How and why? ____________________________________________________

GOD MADE ANIMALS —Based on Genesis 1:20 -25,30; 2:2

In the beginning, God made the world. He made the day and night. He made

the sky. He gathered the waters together and made the land. He made plants to

grow. He made the sun, moon, and the stars. Four days had passed.

Now God said, “Let the waters fill with all kinds of sea animals. Let the birds

fly in the sky.” God made everything that swims in the ocean. God made all kinds

of birds to fly in the sky. He saw that these were good. That was the fifth day.

Then God said, “Let living creatures fill the earth, all kinds of animals; cattle

and crawling animals and wild animals.” God made all kinds of animals. God said

that the animals would eat the plants and fruit that He had made.

God also made people. God saw everything that He had made. It was very

good. That was the sixth day.

All the heavens and the earth were created. God had finished making them.

On the seventh day, God rested.

►Recall the Bible story. Ask the kids to tell things they remember from the story. Ask

them to name something God made. Listen as the kids talk about the Bible story.

►Explore the Life Point and pray. Lay the covered Teaching Picture on the floor.

Give a child a button or coin to toss onto the Teaching Picture. Guide her to remove

the sticky note on which the button landed. Ask what she sees that God made.

Continue until each child has a turn or all the notes are removed. Emphasize that God

made animals. Ask for volunteers to pray and thank God for making animals.

►Learn a Bible verse. Open the Bible to Genesis 1:25. Read the verse. Show the verse

from the Leader Pack and guide the kids to say it with you. Suggest kids say the verse

as if they were bears. Then say the verse as parrots, fish, bees, or other animals.

►Wrap it up. Show the “God Made Animals: Life Action” video.

Tell me what God made,

Tell me what God made,

God made the animals,*

Tell me what God made.

*Lead kids to name specific animals (or other things)

God made.

SAY THE MEMORY VERSEOpen the Bible to Genesis 1:25 and read it. Direct

each child to find a partner. Tell partners to say

the verse to each other. Say: “Switch!” and tell the

kids to find new partners and say the verse to each

other. Switch one more time and say the verse with

everyone. Guide the kids to move to their chairs.

PRAYPlay soft music and encourage kids to pray quietly

to themselves. After a minute or so, say a brief

prayer and close by saying, “Amen.”

BIBLE-LEARNING ACTIVITIESA. Make animal masks. Provide paper plates,

colored paper, scissors, and glue. Kids can

use the materials to create masks of different

animals. As they work, talk about the Bible

story. Tell the kids that God made every

animal. He made the birds and fish. Pray,

thanking God for all He made. When the

work is complete, kids may want to hold their

masks in front of their faces and pretend to be

the animals.

B. Build a zoo. Provide wooden blocks, wide

craft sticks, and plastic animal figures. Invite

the kids to build a zoo for the animals. Talk

about the different animal figures. Kids may

want to sort the figures into groups as they

build and create their zoo. Open a Bible to

Genesis 1:25 and read the verse.

C. Work verse puzzles. Print Genesis 1:25 on

paper. Make copies on different colors of

paper. (You can print Genesis 1:1 on paper,

too.) Cut each paper into several pieces. Lead

kids to assemble the verses. As they work, talk

about the Bible story. Read the completed

verses. Ask the kids to name specific animals

or other things that God made.

D. Toss and tell. Print the words sky, water, and

land on papers; one category per page. Lay

the papers near a wall. Make a tossing line a

few feet from the words. Lead a child to toss

a beanbag onto one of the pieces of paper.

Then he can name an animal that flies in the

sky, swims in the water, or moves on the land.

Make a list of animals and challenge kids to

name animals not on the list.

CLEAN UPMove to each activity and ask kids to put away

materials. Thank kids for their work.

PLAY A GUESSING GAMESay: “I’m thinking of an animal God made. It’s

green. It hops. It eats flies.” Call on kids to guess

which animal you are describing. After they guess,

describe another animal God made and let kids

guess. Option: Choose volunteers to describe

animals. Assist kids as needed. Some kindergartners

will have difficulty creating clues.

DISMISSAs each child gathers his belongings, tell parents

the Life Point. Encourage them to read the story

together from the One Conversation™ page

GOD MADE YOU AND ME

God made the day,

God made the night,

God made everything,

Yes, that’s right!

God made the sun,

God made the moon,

God made everything,

Yes, it’s true!

He made the world, so big and round,

Oceans blue and fluffy clouds,

Chirping birds and buzzing bees,

God made you and me.

UNIT 1, SESSION 2

In the beginning, God made the world. He made the day and night. He made the sky. He gathered the waters together and made the land. He made plants to grow. He made the sun, moon, and the stars. Four days had passed. Now God said, “Let the waters fill with all kinds of sea animals. Let the birds fly in the sky.” God made everything that swims in the ocean. God made all kinds of birds to fly in the sky. He saw that these were good. That was the fifth day. Then God said, “Let living creatures fill the earth, all kinds of animals. Cattle and crawling animals and wild animals.” God made all kinds of animals. God said that the animals would eat the plants and fruit that He had made. God also made people. God saw everything that He had made. It was very good. That was the sixth day. All the heavens and the earth were created. God had finished making them. On the seventh day, God rested.

GOD MADE ANIMALS—Based on Genesis 1:20-25,30; 2:2

West Africa

KIMBERLY CAIN


Children all over the world are important to Jesus. He loves them and wants them to learn about Him when they are very young. Christian workers, like Kimberly Cain in West Africa, love the children like Jesus does.

Sometimes Kimberly teaches kids as they sit on mats on the dusty ground. Sometimes she teaches kids at a local church where the roof is made of woven grass. That church building might not look like yours, but the children in West Africa are learning the same stories from the Bible that you are!

Kimberly uses a storying cloth to tell stories from the Bible. Each picture on the cloth tells a story. Kimberly tells children the story of creation and continues with stories about Jesus so children can grow up knowing Him and telling others about Him.

Ways to pray for the people and missionaries in West Africa:

• Pray that missionaries will be willing and able to learn the language spoken by the people so they can tell the people about Jesus.

• Pray for missionaries as they adjust to a different culture in a part of the world where the temperature stays very hot all year.

• Pray that the children of West Africa will learn to follow Jesus at a young age.
