How to Make Bible Crafts Relating to the Tabernacle, Temple, and the Ark of the Covenant - "Work for the Lord" Bible Lesson

 

The following crafts and activities come from the Bible lesson "Work for the Lord". In this lesson children learn that the Israelites used their talents and wealth to build a temple for God. God givesus special abilities and wants us to use our talents to work for him. God wants us to work hard at whatever we are doing, not for the praise of men, but of the Lord.

I have been using your site for the last few years and I think it is great. I sometimes have trouble putting my lessons together and this site has been a great help. Thank you for putting it up. I've been teaching for 39 years and I still need help. Also I love that I can get the KJV lessons which are rare nowadays. Again thank you. Penny, Liberty Baptist church Eadton MA

 

Children color the activity sheet with the Bible verse and then glue pictures of things they can do, and then discuss how they might do those activities as if they were doing them for the Lord.

Place your children into teams of twos and give each child a piece of paper with a description of the work being performed. Let the teams take turns acting out the scene and have the other children guess what they are doing. Remind your children that they can't say anything while they are acting. (If you have very young children, have older children or adults act out the scenarios and let the children guess what they are doing.)

2. In class have your children cut the strips apart and try to find the strips that complete the Bible verse. Once a child thnks he or she has found the correct strips, ask him or her to look up the verse in the Bible to see if it correct. If it is, have him or her glue the strip to the sheet.

*Note - Before your children start you can have them try to figure out the verse without the strips by filling in the blanks to make words.
