This resource gives you everything you need to teach Joshua 1-3 (Josué 1-3) and to help preschoolers and kindergarten students to remember. Since this resource is in Spanish, it can be used for intermediate Spanish speakers. For those learning Spanish, it could be used at any age.

The lesson focuses on the Moses sending the spies into Jericho and the instructions he gives them. Students will learn about the good report as well as Rahab's promises to help them.

This lesson includes:

1. Title Page - Color and Black and White
2. The story of Joshua 1-3 Color and Black and White
3. ¿Dónde están los espías? Activity (color, cut, and glue)
4. Memory Verse Poster
5. Memory Verse Cards
6. Memory Verse Foldable Activity for Interactive Notebook
7. Coloring pages
8. Printing instructions to create story cards for students to take home
9. Printing instructions for everything included.

This lesson takes me about 45 minutes to an hour to teach.

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.

Finally, I made sure I had enough glue sticks and scissors.

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 color the Where Are the Spies? activity.

5. They cut out each box. I have found it's helpful to cut this part of the paper off completely before they have to cut. It's easier for little ones who are just learning to cut. There is a line across the page to show where to cut.

6. They glue the picture in the box.

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. (Note: Our church has a worship leader that comes in to teach songs for a few minutes so that is scheduled into our time but there is still plenty to do.)

4. Easy to understand directions throughout the slide when in edit mode.

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 coloring, cutting, and gluing.
