With a blend of storytelling, interactive activities, and hands-on learning, this lesson plan is perfect for teaching in a variety of settings, including VBS, Homeschool, Children's Church, Children’s Bible Study, and Sunday School.

Included in This Resource:

• Story Pages:

• Color Version: Full-color story pages designed for 1st-5th graders. These pages can be laminated and kept in a binder for repeated use. For convenience, print on both sides to save paper.

• Black and White Version: These story pages can double as coloring pages or you can print just the title page for additional creative activities.

• Storyboard Options:

• Available in both color and black and white, these storyboards help students visually follow along with the narrative. Choose the format that best suits your teaching needs.

• Show the Story Activity Plan:

• An interactive storytelling activity that encourages students to participate by becoming part of the story. This shortened version of the story helps maintain attention and reinforces key points.

• Visuals for Show the Story:

• A selection of visuals, available in both color and black and white, to be used with the “Show the Story” activity. Tailor your choices based on the age and needs of your students.

• Review Cards:

• These visuals can also serve as review cards. Print and cut out the cards for a hands-on recap of the story. Students can sequence the images to retell the story, either orally or in writing, making this an excellent summarization tool.

• Comic/Storyboard Review Activity:

• A creative review activity where students can illustrate and/or write about the story in comic or storyboard format. This allows them to demonstrate their understanding of the passage in a fun and engaging way.

• Gospel Presentation:

• Each lesson includes a gospel presentation to tie the story into the broader message of salvation. Students will learn about the sins committed in the passage and how they relate to the Ten Commandments, emphasizing our need for Jesus, the perfect sacrifice, who took our punishment and rose again.
