Simon Says - Family Plus PS

HI Parents and Grandparents of Preschoolers!

To help teach obedience to your preschooler, play a game of “Simon Says,” or "Mom or Dad Says". Giving simple instructions like Mom says to crawl on the floor around the table, Mom says to hug your brother or Mom says run upstairs. You get the picture. Playing "Simon Says" will help teach obedience. Not just being obedient to their parents but more importantly to God. If you present it in such a way that is entertaining or with excitement they just may think it's fun. If your preschooler will learn to obey you they may find obeying God is just as easy. Discuss how Noah listened and followed God’s instructions. Help your child know that God gives us instructions through the Bible and that we need to be obedient to Him.

This week, Sunday, March 9, 2014, your child will hear this story:

Noah Worked Hard Based on Genesis 6:9-8:19
Noah was a good man who loved God. One day God spoke to Noah. God said, “I will send a flood to cover the whole earth. Build an ark of wood. Make the ark with three levels of rooms on the inside. Cover the ark with pitch inside and outside.” 
Noah and his sons worked hard to build the ark just as God told them. God told Noah, “Bring two of every kind of animal and bird onto the ark. Take every kind of food for your family and for the animals.”
Noah, his family, and all the animals entered the ark, and God shut the door. The rain began to fall. The rain fell for 40 days, and the ark floated on the water. Noah, his family, and all the animals were safe inside the ark. The water continued to rise until it covered the mountains. The water covered the earth for many days.
Finally God caused a wind to blow, and the waters began to go down. At last, the ark came to rest on a mountain. When the earth was dry, Noah and his family and all the animals came out of the ark. Noah had worked hard to care for his family and the animals while God took care of them on the ark.

Christ Focus: Jesus followed through with God’s plan.
Life Point: God shows people what to do.
Life Verse: Work together with a good attitude. Ephesians 6:7

Questions:
What work did God give Noah?
How did God help Noah in his work?
