Dream, Dream, What Does it Mean?

This week's lesson is from Genesis 40, 41 where Jospeh interprets dreams. After reading the story from The Young Learner's Bible Storybook kiddos will imagine something wonderful of their own. We'll discuss how everyone dreams but they're often confusing and it can be hard to tell what's real and what's not. We'll learn that only God understands everything, and whenever we have questions we can ask God to help us understand. I also included a fun puzzle/word search for students to complete. Answers are below! Here's the bundle to download pages 4-5.



1. daydreaming
2. sleep
3. nightmares
4. imagine
5. remember
6. beyond
7. king
8. Joseph

Ladder to Heaven

Our lesson this week is called "Ladder to Heaven," or "Jacob's Ladder."

The first time reading the story in The Young Learner's Bible Storybook we will stand up/crouch down each time the words "up" and "down" are used.

Then, we'll make a web on the board of where God was in Jacob's dream and story, and then we'll brainstorm where we know God is today.

I created an activity sheet you can find in my free OT bundle where my kiddos will draw or write place we know God is today. I suspect the list will include "my heart," "hospitals," "at home," "at church," "at school," etc.

The Woman Said, "I Will Go"

The Young Learner's Bible Storybook had a great idea for this lesson using the words "come" and "go." First, we practiced moving from one side of the room to the other when I used the key words "come" and "go." Then, while reading the story, the kids will move when they hear a key word. After reading and moving around, we'll sit and I'll reread the story and we'll discuss in a group.

God's Promise in the Night

We started off this lesson of the promise God made to Abraham by using a white crayon to draw stars in the night sky on the activity sheet I created. While reading the story, the kids watercolored the night sky over the picture. We talked a little about shadows and why purples and blues are good choices for night pictures.
