summer 6 joseph

 Talk time: Who here has brothers? Who has sisters? Who has no brothers or sisters? Do you like your siblings? Whats the best things about them? Any downsides? If we dont have brothers and sisters we can have friends instead.  God says He will always give us people who love us and look out for us. Lets say thank you to God for our brothers and sisters and our friends. (write down the names of all siblings so we can name them all - I think nearly all our kids have at least one)

Lesson: Today we are going to learn about someone in the Bible who had LOTS of brothers. Lets have a listen to his story.  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnlqKPIZQzI This is a 3 minute video telling the story up to Joseph being sold. You can stop at the end and talk about how mean the brothers were and how Joseph felt - the video which follows on is another 3mins talking about Joseph in Egypt. It would be good to watch both if possible.

If they cant concentrate for 6 mins this is only 1min 30. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhCc1Y1xPJE&t=1s

Lay tissue paper onto coat template then wet and peel off tissue so  the colour transfers onto the paper.


Nobody in the story could see what was going to happen in the  future but God knew.  Sometimes we dont know what is going to happen next - we have to trust God, His plan is always good.


Joseph went from being at the bottom of a pit to being a very important ruler in Egypt. Play a game using a bucket or bin full of shred or packing noodles. Hide some lego minifigures  or small play people in the bucket and get the kids to search for them one by one. When they have found a figure they can set it on a special chair (if you can find or make a toy throne even better) Talk about how when he was at the bottom of the pit he was scared but he trusted that God would rescue him and he did.

Bubbles - look at all the lovely colours in the bubbles they remind us of the colours in Josephs coat

  Mini church planning - Moses 2  Hello!  This week we are focusing on Moses and the Burning bush 🔥 .  Upstairs for singing  Name badges   Recap:  Last week we learn about a baby.  What’s was his name? Moses  What happened to Moses? His mummy put him in a basket on the river to save him.  The princess found him.  Today’s story is about when this baby Moses has grown ups.  Thought:   Sometimes God asks us to do hard things doesn’t He? And sometimes we might feel like it’s too hard for us so we might pretend like we didn’t hear God or make an excuse for why we can’t do it. Today’s story is about when God asks Moses to do something and Moses is scared and thinks he can’t do it.   Let’s read the story..,  Moses had grown up in the palace.  But he knew he didn’t really belong.   Moses decided to run away from the palace and he lived as a shepherd for many years. One day as...

Extra week. Tower of Babel

Do you remember last week we were learning about Noah?  In the big flood all the people got washed away and Noah and his family were the only people left. When all the water dried up and Noah came out of the boat, what was in the sky? Yes, a rainbow. And what did God promise?  That He would never send a flood like that again. Today we are going to find out what happened next.  God said to Noah, I want your family to spread out all over the place and build your houses far apart. But Noahs children and grandchildren wanted to stay all together so they didn't do what God told them. Instead they decided to build one big huge house for them all to live in. They said "everyone will see our amazing house and will know we are the best builders and really important people." So the built higher (build with boxes) and higher....and higher. If you were building a really big amazing house what would it have in it? When they finished building the people were really pleased with themsel...

 talk time. What is the weather today?  In different weather  we need different clothes. Show different items - wooly hat, wellies, gloves, umbrella, sun hat, sandals, scarf etc. Talk about the sort of weather we would wear these things. Pray and thank God for rain and sun and snow etc. Lesson   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qJTbVtEaUc&t=115s Today we are going to hear about some really unusual weather. Read the story of Noah from the big picture book.  Take time for the children to look at the animals.  Ask  if anyone has seen a rainbow. Every time we see a rainbow in the sky we remember that God saved Noah and his family and all the animals and promised He would never flood the earth again.  We are going to make a rainbow now. This is a demonstration from the front. A bit of magic!
