Scripture Heroes: Noah

Today we talked about Noah from the Old Testament.  You can download his Scripture Hero Chart here.

We watched the LDS Scripture Hero video about Noah.  Then I retold the story using these flannelboard pieces.

 I also read Jan Brett's Noah's Ark book to them.  We acted out the story as I read.

 They did this maze which is a pretty tricky one, just a heads up.

 The highlight of the day was playing pin the animal on the ark.  They were aiming for the door I drew on the ark.  I found some cute clip art animals here.

I did a Noah's Ark Preschool Lesson with my four year old not too long ago.  You can check it out here.

Scripture Heroes: Adam and Eve

Today we talked about Adam and Eve and Agency.  You can download this Scripture Hero Chart here.  Before anything I gave them a choose whether they wanted to do one thing or another to help lead into our theme.

 We watched LDS Scripture videos 1-4.  These videos cover from before the Earth was created through Adam's life and about Cain and Abel.  After the videos I mostly reinforced the Garden of Eden and that Eve and Adam made the choice to eat the fruit and then knew good and evil.  We've talked about agency before, but this was a great way to remember it.  We played an opposition game.

 We also watched this video clip from lds.org as well.  Then we did a Creation coloring page.  We also sang the first verse of "Follow the Prophet".

We didn't do this game, but I think it is an awfully fun looking idea to go with an agency theme.

I'm not real confident in teaching about the Bible.  I just don't feel like I know the stories as well as the Book of Mormon, but I will do the best I can.
