God made

everything
at home Bible lesson for under 5s
 Grown-ups
Week 1 – God made everything – Genesis 1
Welcome to lesson one and thank you for having the desire to help your child explore the Bible and enjoy God. Each
week this coming year I will be producing one lesson to do with my three-year-old son, and it is my pleasure to share
this with you.

Bible lesson
Week one covers the account of crea�on taken from Genesis 1. I would encourage you to sit down with your child and
the Bible and either read the story to them or paraphrase it in a way that they will understand. Personally, I believe that
this is the best way as it introduces your child to reading the Bible and gives them an example to follow. It also reaffirms
that these are not just stories as they may find in storybooks.

That said, there are great resources available to help children understand the Bible and where possible I will include a
link to help.

This week I used this video from Saddleback kids. It’s 3:48 minutes long.

Ac�vi�es
Please pick and choose the ac�vi�es that follow to suit your needs. Split them throughout the week to reinforce the
lesson or mix ac�vi�es for a selected �me slot. Please think of these resources as a toolkit.

Each ac�vity hopefully supports the Biblical lesson and educa�on development.

During this weeks cra� ac�vity, you will need to allow some �me for paint to dry. Either paint plates at start of
session, use other ac�vi�es to fill in drying �me or split over different days.

Thank You
Thank you once again for joining us on this journey through 2019.

Please give me feedback, so that I can adjust the lessons over the next weeks to best meet your needs.

Do you need more of something? Colouring pages, cra�s, ac�ves sheets, instruc�ons.

The plan is to upload a new lesson each Wednesday.

Blessings.

Then God said, “Let the
land produce plants.
Let them produce their
own seeds. And let
there be trees on the
land that grow fruit
with seeds in it. Let
each kind of plant or
tree have its own kind
of seeds.” And that’s
exactly what
happened.

Day 5
God made the birds and fish
How many birds can you see?

How many fish can you see?

Cut out each of the number cards.
As you read through each day of creation, place
one new card and talk about what you see.
Depending on the age and ability of the child:
Print two copies arrange one in order and ask the
child to match their numbers.
Or have the child sort the number themselves.
If you want to help your child practice scissor
skills, allow them to cut out the cards under
careful supervision.
