Recognizing Satan's Lies Children's Activity
This activity goes with the Adam and Eve Lesson on The Resource Room. In this activity children learn how to recognize Satan's Lies.
The teacher uses a snake puppet to hand a child an apple that has a lie that Satan often tells children written on it.
The teacher or child reads the apple and then decides if it is a lie. The child should then say whether or not Satan has ever told him the lie, and then explain why it is a lie.
If the child cannot explain why it is a lie, he can look up the Bible verse relating to the lie.
There is one or more Bible verses on each apple.

Children can also make their own apple booklet to take home. Include blank apple pages so children can write other lies Satan tells them in their booklets.

Adam and Eve Cereal Box Puppet Stage
What you will need:
14.5 oz Cereal Boxes that Measure Approximately 10 3/4" x 7 1/2", People-Shaped Craft Sticks, Chenille Stems, Tiny Wiggle Eyes, Scissors, Ruler, Construction Paper, Paint, Paper Glue (Rubber Cement), Colored Pencils and Markers
How to Make the Cereal Box Puppet Stage
1. Flatten the box by carefully opening the top and bottom flaps.
2. Before class prepare the cereal boxes. Place the box so that it is lengthwise. Measure one inch down from the top and one inch in from the sides, and 1 1/2" up from the bottom. Use your ruler to draw the lines. Cut out the middle rectangle.
3. Cut a slit at the bottom of the stage about 1/2" high and the length of the box minus an inch on both sides. This slit will be used to insert the puppets.
4. Print out the stage background pattern. Cut out around the edges and glue it inside the box with rubber cement. You can draw your own background and then glue it to the inside of the box. Punch a hole in the back of the box where the branch of the tree is. This hole will be used to insert the Chenille stem snake.

5. To make the snake wind two Chenille stems together and fold down the end for the head. Glue tiny wiggle eyes onto the head.
6. Use colored pencils and markers to draw in the face and hair features on the puppets. Cut hair from colored paper for the Eve puppet. Eve's hair was made in two parts. The long part was glued to the back of the head and then the hair that hangs down was brought to the front. The bangs are a separate piece that is glued to the front of the head.
7. Glue leaves on the puppets to cover their private parts.
Have your students use the puppets and puppet stage to retell the story of Adam and Eve.
If you don't want to buy wood stick puppets, you can use these printable stick puppets. Print them out on card stock and glue craft sticks to the back. These cute puppets are available in both color and black and white patterns.

The Consequences of Sin Object Lesson Using Craft Sticks and the Exploding Cobra Weave
Craft Stick Snake
Exploding Snake Activity
What you will need:
Jumbo Crafts Sticks and Markers
First check out this Youtube video on how to make a mini cobra weave using craft sticks. Practice putting it together until you have mastered it. In class explain to your children that all sin has consequences. It doesn't matter if it is a little white lie or murder. All sin keeps us from God. Have your children think of sins that we may commit daily or may make excuses for, such as watching television shows that aren't pleasing to God, swearing, lying, cheating, etc., and then have them write the sins on the craft sticks. Weave all the craft sticks together to make a snake. Tell them that sin can be disastrous to our lives. When we commit one sin it makes it easier to comment even more until pretty soon they take over our lives. Remove one of the sticks so that the "Snake" explodes to emphasize your point.
Garden of Eden Color and Activity Sheet
Children color the picture and insert a snake through a slot in the picture so that they can make the snake move and talk to Eve. You can also use the activity sheet as a coloring sheet and have your children draw in the snake.

Work On a Bulletin Board Display
Have children make trees, a river, and flowers from construction paper. Help them find pictures of animals in magazines, and tape them to a bulletin board to make a picture of what they think the Garden of Eden might have looked like. Use the Bible References in the story to read about the Garden of Eden.
Use a felt board and pictures of trees, flowers, and animals to tell the story of Adam and Eve.
The Adam and Eve lesson on The Resource Room also has picture you can print out and use on a felt board or bulletin board.

Glue felt on the back of the pictures or use pieces of sticky-backed Velcro (Use the hook part, not the fuzzy part.)
Make a felt board by stapling or gluing pieces of blue and green felt onto a corkboard. If you don't want to take the time to make a felt board, you can just have your children tape the pictures on to a bulletin board.

I am just so "blown away" (in a good way) by your website. The resources that are available are unbelievable. I use the ideas for our children's church program. I am not a creative person, but certainly can take ideas from creative people and put them to good use. I thank you sincerely for all the work that I know has gone into your resources and pray God will bless, in an awesome way, you and your family and anyone associated with your ministry! Sandy Turner
Adam and Eve Bible Games for Preschool and Elementary Children
The following Activity Ideas come from the Adam and Eve Lesson. You can find a complete lesson on The Resource Room
Play a Bible Verse Review Game
Before class cut out apple shapes from red construction paper or card stock. Write the word "Christ" on the back of one of the apples. Tape the apples to a large tree display. Amazon.com has a nice bulletin board display tree that comes with fifty green leaves. I have used a bulletin board tree for several lessons including: Amos Wasn't Famous, Zacchaeus, and Jesus Never Changes.
You can also decorate it in the fall with colorful leaves and write, "We're Falling For Jesus". Click on the link below to find this display.
If you don't have a bulletin board tree, you can just lay the apples on the floor and have your children sit in a circle around the apples.
Write the Bible verse on the board and go over it several times leaving out the word "Christ". "For as in Adam all die, even so in ____ shall all be made alive." 1 Corinthians 15:22
Tell your children that because of Adam's sin we all die, but because of someone else, we shall all be made alive. Let's see if we can find the missing word that belongs in this Bible verse.
Have your children take turns picking an apple that they think might have the missing word written on it. Turn over the apples for them to see if there is something written on it. Keep playing until a child has found the word. You can make the game easier by removing the apples that have already been picked or harder by leaving all the apples on the tree.

Hello, I teach 4 year olds at church. I had great difficulty finding appropriate lessons for them on the internet until I found your site. I have used several of your lessons and the crafts that go with them. I love them and my children do too. They seem to understand them pretty well. THANK YOU!!!! Cindy
Paper Snake Craft
1. To make the paper snake roll a sheet of paper into a tight tube long ways. (This will make the paper easier to roll once it is cut into a smaller shape.
2. Unroll the paper and cut it into a 3 1/2" wide by 11" triangle. Color the shape to look like a snake.
3. Roll the cut paper into a snake shape so that the head end is a little wider than the tail end. Tape the tube together all the way down the length.
4. Fold the snake shape in half so that the taped side is at the fold (The belly of the snake).
5. Cut a wedge shape at the wider end for the mouth, and cut the shorter end into a tail shape as shown in the picture.
6. Cut small slits all the way down the length of the tube about 1/4" apart so that the slits cut through the tube leaving only about 1/4" of paper that isn't cut at the bottom. This will make your snake bendable.
