Bible Verse:

"For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and under-standing." Proverbs 2:6

Scripture References: Genesis 5-11 - Noah and the Ark and the Tower of Babel

Teaching Concept: When we listen to God and follow his commands we will be rewarded for our obedience, but if we don't listen to God and do what we want instead, we will suffer the consequences. Children learn more about wisdom and how they can gain wisdom through the examples of more wise and foolish builders.

What you will need:

This series of lessons uses Maxim Enterprise PlaySkool ABC Blocks with Bag (40-Piece) and PlaySkool C/N Blocks (80-Piece).

Paper

Elmer's Rubber Cement (Optional)

 

What to do:

1. Before class print out the block patterns, cut them out, and glue them to the ABC Blocks. If you don't have blocks, you can just print out the patterns onto card stock and then cut them apart, and have your children use the pieces like a flat puzzle.

*Note - If you use the Elmer's Rubber Cement, you can remove the pictures without damaging the blocks. The images will pill off, and you can rub the remaining glue off the blocks with your fingers. When using rubber cement, place glue on the block and the back of the image. Let the glue set for at least half a minute and then attach the picture to the block.

These patterns are available in three different levels of difficulty and are available to members on The Resource Room:

Use the following review questions to play one of the following games.

 

Game 1 - Building a Tower Game

Object of the game - to build the tallest tower

How to Play - Divide your children up into teams. Place some blocks or paper cups in the center of a table. Take turns asking the groups of children questions. If the team answers a question correctly, they get to add a block to their tower. If they are incorrect, they must remove a block or cup from their tower. If the tower falls over, they may not rebuild it, but start from what is left standing.

If you have older children, you can divide your children up into two teams and see which team can build the tallest tower by answering questions correctly.

2. Let your children take turns throwing the cube to find out how they can get wisdom.

3. After the child has thrown the cube, read the word on the top, ask the following question corresponding to that word and have the child look up the Bible verse to see if he or she has answered correctly.

Keep playing until all the words have been reviewed. If a child throws a word that has already been review, just ask him the corresponding question to see if he or she knows the answer.

Listen and Do - Listen to whom? Do what? The Bible tells us to listen to God's words and do what they say.

"Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:" Matthew 7:24

Look - Look for what? - The Bible tells us if we should look for wisdom like we search for treasure.

'Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; 4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hidden treasures;" Proverbs 2:3-4

Fear - Fear who? - The Bible tells us that we should fear God. When we respect God we can become wise.

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." Proverbs 1:7
