Bible Crafts and Activities for Job Theme - Job's First Test

 

 

The following crafts and activities are from the first lesson of the two-lesson series about Job, titled "Job's First Test". It includes an interactive Bible lesson with crafts, games, and learning activities to reinforce the teaching concept that even when bad things happen to us or our families, we should trust God. Sometimes, God allows bad things to happen so that we can grow in our faith, or they may result from sin, not heeding warnings, or the devil's influence.

Get ready for an exciting and engaging relay race to reinforce the Bible lesson!

Form teams with the children and assign one child from each team to take on the role of Job. Imagine the excitement as the "Jobs" stand on one side of the room, while their teammates stand ready on the other. In the center of the room, place all the animal cards face down. As soon as you say "Go," a player from each team dashes forward, flips over a card, and presents it to their "Job" while announcing, "Job, all your donkeys, camels, oxen, or sheep (based on the picture) have been taken away." Keep the momentum going until a "Job" on one team has collected all four different animals. Let the race begin!

In this lesson, children will discover how Job was tested by the devil to determine if he would remain faithful to God. To kick off the lesson, children will undergo a series of tests designed to evaluate their visual and manual dexterity skills. For this particular test, children will be asked to draw a line from one picture of Job to the other without touching the lines on the picture. This activity is used to introduce the lesson, drawing a parallel to Job being tested by the devil.

To make the test even harder see who can complete the test the fastest.

God and the Devil

God: Where have you been?

Devil: I've been going all over the earth.

God: Have you noticed Job? Isn't he the best man you have ever seen?

Devil: Oh, there is nothing special about Job. He loves you because you give him everything he could ever want. If he didn't have everything, he would not love you anymore.

God: Very well, do whatever you want to him, but don't kill him.

Job and the Messengers

First Messenger: (Comes to Job and tells him the bad news.) Job! I have terrible news! Your donkeys and oxen are all gone. The Sabeans have taken them away! And even worse, all the servants have been killed! I'm the only one who escaped.

Job: (Looks shocked.)

Second Messenger: (While the first is still speaking.) Job! A fire from God fell from heaven and burned up all your sheep and all the servants! I'm the only one who survived.

Job: (Looks even more shocked.)

Third Messenger: (While the second is still speaking.) Job! Your enemies came and took away all your camels and killed all your servants! I am the only one that escaped.

Job: (Looks even more shocked.)

Fourth Messenger: (While the third is still speaking.) Job! All your sons and daughters are dead. A mighty wind came up and knocked the house in and killed them. I am the only one who escaped to tell you.

Job: (Job tears his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship and said:

"Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD." Job 1:21, KJV
