This resource gives you everything you need to teach Joshua 7 and to help preschoolers to 1st students to remember. The lesson focuses on the Achan and his covetousness and how it led to Israelites defeat. Students will learn about God's faithfulness to His promises.

Included:

• Full-sized 8.5x11 story pages with color. I laminate these and keep them in a binder. You can also print on both sides to save paper.
• Coloring pages - the story is in black and white for story pages or to save colored ink
• Storyboard in color
• Storyboard in black and white
• Story cards that can be used as review
• 3 Puzzles for different levels of learners! Great for retells. Can be used for oral or written retells.
• Sequence cut/paste activity.
• Word search activity using the most important words from the lesson.

• Memory verse poster.

1. How to prep:

I printed and laminated the story pages the evening before. I also printed the coloring page and the memory verse activity sheets the evening before.

2. I read the story pages. Students can color while I read to help them focus.

3. I showed the story cards (just smaller versions of the slides that students take home) to students and asked them to repeat as much of the story back to me as they can.

4. Students can put the puzzle together and retell again if there is time.

5. Students can also work on the word search or counting activity, depending on the age.

6. Sequencing activity - cut out the bottom half of the page and have the students cut out the picture boxes. Students can put the correct picture with the correct caption.

Why should I choose this resource?

1. The story comes from Scripture but is summarized for young learners. The Word of God is not compromised in the process.

2. There are a variety of coloring pages for students to do during the lesson to help them listen to the story but still busy with a non-linguistic activity so their brains do not have competition between the 2 activities.

3. There are plenty of activities to keep them engaged.

4. Easy to understand instructions for printing

5. Colorful and engaging pictures to help tell the story for pre-readers or early readers.

6. A chance to work with the story while practicing cutting, gluing, reading, and summarizing.

This resource is great for ages pre-school to adult. It includes activities for all ages and some that can just be adapted for each age group. If you are ready to take your personal Bible study to a new level, especially in preparation for teaching, you will find pages to guide you.

Include:

• Printing instructions
• Colorful clipart
• A simplified story for younger learners
• A study guide for older ages
• Activities to help learners engage with the text and not simply passively take it in
• Story pages with color
• Story pages in black and white - great for coloring pages
• A storyboard in color - perfect for review on the day of the lesson or days later
• A storyboard in black and white - can be used as a resource to send home with students so they can re-read with parents or others at home
• Puzzle piece activity that can be used for different ages. It serves as a review of Judges 6 and how it connects to the gospel. Print and cut out the puzzle pieces and have learners match the description with the picture. You can read to the students who are not yet reading. You can also mix them up so that they have to put them in order of the story. This page serves as an answer key before it is cut.
• In-depth study pages for Judges as a whole. The goal is to begin to use the Inductive Bible Study method to help students (adults and children) observe scripture in context and then interpret it and apply it correctly. Use your discretion for the ages that are ready for this much depth. It involves re-reading the chapter and may need to be done over several days.
• The Gospel is on slide 23 and can be used with every lesson as a reminder that the Gospel is central to all of the Word of God.

God Sends Gideon is a great resource if you are teaching or learning about Judges 6:1-24. Not only is there a summary of the story with colorful clipart, there are also several activities for every age. There are even study sheets to help teachers prepare for teaching the lesson.

Include:

• Printing instructions
• Story pages with color, great for creating your own version of a children's Bible story book
• Story pages in black and white
• Coloring pages
• Storyboard in color

• A short Bible study series over this passage, easily adaptable for any age.
• Recording activity for key people, places, and things. The idea here is to start incorporating the Inductive Bible Study Method for any age
• Brainstorm Activity - 5Ws and an H questions for the passage
• Create questions and answers with a place for passages where answers are found
• Summarize the Passage activity
• A gospel presentation. I recommend tying this into every lesson. Remind the students of the sins that people in the passage committed and how this was a violation of 1 or more of the Ten Commandments. Remind them that we also violate God’s laws and need Jesus, the perfect sacrifice, to save us. He took the punishment through death and rose from death. He is one day coming back!
