2016 Activities part 2

Sorry this picture is turned. During the fall we spent a few weeks on parables. For this parable (Matthew 13:44) the kids painted the picture and then had to draw what the treasure was from the story.

I broke my foot and was out a couple of weeks. I had two great substitutes who completed this Old Testament activity with my kids. It's a weirdo-awesome story about how God opened up the ground and it basically swallowed up the people who disagreed that Moses was following God's directions. The kids loved creating the little colored people and the foldable from Children's Bible Lessons.

The next week the kids had to cut and sort the verses from John 3:16, then look the verse up and self-check.

We also folded paper to make a fish, and then opened the fist to draw the coins from Matthew 17:24-27, when Jesus paid taxes with money from a fish.
