This web-site is for everyone interested in learning more about the Bible.
This section helps Sunday school teachers find new ways of teaching familiar materials. Our goal is to augment lessons you may already have in your Sunday school curriculum.
Since summer vacation starts for many students this month, we want to examine the importance of family. We’ll look at Joseph and his brothers, their plot to get rid of Joseph, and what they discover about their brother’s incredible experience. Joseph’s ability to forgive separates him from his brothers and he becomes a role model for all of us. For Father’s Day we’ll look at the Prodigal sons and Jesus’ commands for us to love little children.
The entire Activities section is divided into Memory Work, Activities, and Discussion Questions. You can go to any of these sections and select what best works for your pupils.
You can now download all three sections for ease in using these materials for teaching. |

Teachers and Parents
It is so important to encourage our little ones as well as ourselves to memorize Bible verses and stories – to become so familiar with the passage or story that its timeless relevance appears to us more and more clearly with every retelling. A major difference was evident between Sunday school pupils required to tell the story versus those who gave nodding recognition to the same story. Three years ago, our pupils were asked to tell Bible stories to the preschool children. Now they ask all the time when it’s their turn to tell a story. The children in the preschool class can’t wait for a story and are quite vocal in asking the older children to come and tell them a story. There are some preschoolers who are anxious to try their hand at telling the stories as well. On a recent class visit of 4th graders with 3 and 4 year olds, the preschoolers didn’t hesitate to add details to the story of the three Hebrew boys.
We cannot overlook the significance of memorizing a verse or story.
Consider sharing with your Sunday school pupils and parents ways to help little ones learn the verse and understand the impact of the message on their lives.
- Write out or type this week’s Bible verse on a card and place it on a mirror the child uses each day.
- Place the verse for the week in his/her lunch box.
- Ask the child to recite the verse before or after grace at the dinner meal.
- Practice as a family at dinner, going around the table with each one saying a word until the verse is complete.
- Put the verse to music. Create your own tune for each Bible verse. Create pictures to help remember the verse.
- Write it in a Bible verse notebook as many times as you can.

Bible Verses
Work with your child and your students to learn each verse. Then, discuss the meaning of the verse and how it can be applied to everyday lives. On Sundays during class, riding in the car, or at dinner, it's fun to share stories of how the children have used the verse in their lives that week.
We provide memorization verses for each week. You can add your own.

Exercise:
With Father’s Day approaching, this would be a good time to be like Peter and write a letter. Unlike Peter, this letter would be to the student’s father. You might ask them to write a letter that tells what they love most about their fathers. What are some of their memorable moments -- ones they’ll always cherish? You might ask them to add specific details about what they have learned from their fathers. Statements such as “Dad you’re great, I love you” are nice, but give an example of a special experience they have had with their dads.
Ex: “Dear Dad, You are a one-of-kind-dad. I love you. Thanks for teaching me how to ride my bike without training wheels. Do you remember when you taught me how to catch fly balls and one landed right in my eye? I’ll never forget how you sat there holding me and calmly telling me everything was all right. I could trust you and more importantly I realized I could trust God’s love for me at that moment.
Thanks for your comforting words and the ones that discipline me too. I appreciate it when you listen to me. Thanks for being the greatest Dad.”
Don’t leave grandfathers, uncles, or other church members and friends out of the letter writing either. |

Exercise:
Discuss the traits that make a dad great!
- Why do we call God, Father?
- How has God been like a Father to you?
- Name some Dads in the Bible
- Who were their children?
- How do they measure up on the Dad scale of greatness you created?
|
|
|

Exercise:
In preparation for Father’s Day you might have the students match Dads and Sons. You can add depth to this by asking older students: in which book of the Bible would we find the dad? What wonderful things did this dad do? How did his children turn out? There are two matching quizzes, one for little ones and one for older children.

Exercise: Themes in the Bible
Another way to review Bible stories is to look for various themes. Take the story of Joseph in Gen 37-50 and The Prodigal Son in Luke 15:11-32. Select a theme below or create one of your own.
Family
- Create a family tree for Jacob and his family
- Discuss why brothers and sisters should be each other’s best friends
- if you’re not best friends, why not?
- How can you remedy this?
- Do you realize God gave you to each other to help and support one another?
- Make a list of all the things you love about your brother or sister.
- if you don’t have a brother or sister, list all the ways you are a good friend.
- What kinds of parents are Jacob and Rachel?
- Talk with your family about favoritism, tattle-telling, envy, and revenge.
- Ask your parents how they learned to handle those problems.
- What are Joseph’s characteristics as a father?
- What causes strife between family members?
- What did the coat Jacob made Joseph do to his sons?
- Do you ever feel as though your brother or sister gets more than you do?
- How do you deal with it?
- How do your parents help you to not be jealous of something someone else receives?
- What can you do if a sibling receives better or poorer grades than you?
- Create a photo album of people, things, and events for which you are grateful. With digital cameras it is easy for students to take pictures and paste them into an album or put them into a notebook. Under each picture, label what you are grateful for. Ex. You could have a picture of your Mother. Underneath it write: I am grateful for Mom for driving me to soccer practice three times a week. The next picture might be of Mom cooking or of the dinner table prepared for a meal. Then write, I’m grateful for all the wonderful meals Mom fixes for me and the family. Another picture could be of Dad mowing the lawn. Underneath the picture you might write: I am grateful Dad loves us so much that he is willing to do projects around the house to make it look beautiful. It could be a sibling or other family members, or activities the family participates in, like going to church, sporting events, movies, hikes, etc.
Forgiveness
- Name different characters in the Bible who needed forgiveness.
- What did they do that they needed to be forgiven?
- Think of Joseph’s brothers?
- When is a prank an act of terrorism?
- What about the Prodigal son?
- Why did he want forgiveness?
- Did Jesus’ disciples need to be forgiven?
- Name different characters in the Bible who were forgiving.
- Did Joseph forgive Potiphar’s wife?
- Did Joseph forgive the Butler for leaving him in prison?
- Did Joseph forgive his brothers?
- Did Jacob forgive his sons for what they did to Joseph and himself?
- Why did the father forgive his son who took his inheritance and spent it all in a far off land?
- Did the brother forgive his wayward brother? Why or why not?
- Who else in the Bible was forgiving?
- Do you know how to forgive?
- Who have you forgiven?
- Why?
Obedience - list the names of those who were obedient and the event that highlighted this quality.
What other themes can you find in these stories? Dreams? Jealousy? Morals? Tattle tales?

Exercise:
Here is another review exercise for children who like to be somewhat dramatic and competitive. You need to prepare this in advance of your class as homework.
"Twenty Questions" with Bible Characters
This activity produces lively discussions. Children love games. This game gives them the opportunity to become an authority on one Bible character.
Each pupil is given a sealed envelope with the name of a Bible character inside. Write on the outside of the envelope:
When class starts, each pupil will ask questions that require only "yes" or "no" responses or one-word answers. No more than twenty questions can be asked about each individual. Whenever someone has enough clues, he or she may guess who you are. Whoever guesses the most characters correctly or in the shortest number of questions, wins.
If you can guess someone's identity with less than 5 questions being asked, you get 15 points; 6-10 questions - 10 points; 11-15 questions - 5 points; 16-20 questions - 3 points.
| Sample characters: |
| Joseph |
Daniel |
| Abraham |
Jonah |
| Jacob |
Jesus |
| Esau |
Miriam |
| Noah |
Rebekah |
| Joshua |
Rachel |
| Isaac |
Sarah |
| David |
Mary |
| Saul |
Hannah |
| Moses |
Martha |
| Samuel |
Hagar |
| Sample Questions: |
| Are you from the Old Testament? |
No |
| Did you live during Jesus’ time? |
Yes |
| Do you have any brothers? |
Yes |
| Did you know Jesus? |
Yes |
| Did you have a good relationship with God? |
Yes |
| Was your mother special? |
Yes |
| Did you live in Nazareth? |
Yes |
| Were you a fisherman? |
No |
| Did you heal people? |
Yes |
| Were you one of the twelve disciples? |
No |
| Are you Jesus? |
Yes |
Have fun creating questions for each character you are studying. This is a good review. I always keep the questions in a file to use at different times during the year. Summer is a great time for review with so many families on vacation. You can have the class create a pack of questions to use as they travel in the car and engage Mom and Dad too! |

Exercise:
This was submitted by Jane Fuller, one of our BibleWise readers.
Activity: Story of Joseph
(For 3 year olds, but can be adapted for older students)
Purpose:
Both Joseph and Daniel experienced the fear of being thrown into a pit or den. We all have “pit” experiences. How did these Bible characters overcome adversity and rise to greater heights?
Materials:
- Black “feely” box (or paper bag that children can reach into without seeing the contents)
- Slips of paper (two for each child in your class)
- Marker
Procedure:
- Prior to Sunday school, write one word on a slip of paper for each student in your class. These words should represent Joseph’s uplifted state of thought as he emerged from the pit. The word list might include: humility, love, trust, and gratitude. Wad each piece of paper into a ball and put it in the box or bag (the “pit”). (The children will be asked to pull out a wadded ball of paper, leaving the flat slips of paper in the box or bag.)
- For each child in your class, write a word on each piece of paper such as: fear, anger, hurt, sadness, revenge, etc. (How do you think Joseph may have felt about his brothers? about his absence from his family? about the experience inside the pit?)
- Give each child a slip of paper with one of the words in #2 and have them “drop” them into the box or bag (the “pit”). Say “_______ went into the pit with Joseph.”
- Have each child reach into the box or bag and bring out a wadded piece of paper. Say “ ________ came out of the pit with Joseph.” Have them open the wadded piece and read/ help them read the word on the paper.
Summary:
This was a very quick activity that I used with my 3 year-old class after reading/telling the story of Joseph and the betrayal by his brothers. Although the narrator of the Bible account does not provide a great number of details about Joseph’s state of mind, we know that Joseph was a changed young man after this experience. Although a captive in Egypt, he rose above his challenging circumstances through hard work, humility, intelligence, loyalty, and, above all, an abiding trust in God. The lists of fine qualities that Joseph expressed are numerous. The story of Joseph provides a valuable lesson for all ages in helping us rise above life’s challenges and grow into men and women of God’s creating! |
