Crossing The Jordan
Joshua 3:1 - 4:24
Materials Needed:
Blue construction paper (1
sheet per child), scissors, brown construction paper (1 sheet per child),
fish-shaped crackers, glue.
Instructions:
Give each child a sheet of
brown construction paper and two pieces of blue
construction paper that you
cut before class. Also give each child a handful of fish shaped
crackers. Help children fold
each piece of cut paper lengthwise and then
glue half of the folded blue
construction paper down the edge of the brown paper.
The unglued edges of blue
paper will meet in the middle when laid flat.
Let the children glue
crackers on the blue papers. Review the story. When you get
to the part about the
Israelites crossing the Jordan River, have the children fold up
the unglued edges of the
blue paper so they “stand up” like walls of water.
