"All Things Bright and Beautiful"
Written Cecil F. Alexander in 1848

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings.

Creation Cube Games

1. Roll a Match

Before class prepare two cubes. Prepare sheets of paper with all six days of creation listed with a check box next to each day. In class have your children take turns throwing both cubes at the same time. If the pictures that are facing up match, the child gets to check off that day on his or her paper and take another turn.The child that checks off all the days of creation first wins.

 

2. Collect Creation Items Cube Game

Before class collect items to represent each day of creation.

1. Day 1 - Night and Day: Small Oreo Cookies
2. Day 2 - Sky : Star, Moon, Clouds and Sun Stickers
3. Day 3 - Dry Land, Plants, and Seas: Flower Stickers
4. Day 4 - Stars, Moon and Sun: Star, Moon, Clouds and Sun Stickers
5. Day 5 - Flying Animals and Sea Life - Fish Crackers and Butterfly, Bees, and Brid Stickers
6. Day 6 - Land Animals and People - Teddy Grahams

In class have your children take turns rolling the creation cube. Give the child an item that matches the picture of the day of creation he or she rolled. If you don't want to use the items, you can use creation stickers instead.

 

3. Creation Charades

Children roll the cube and act out what appears without speaking. They might flap like a bird, swim like a fish, shine like the sun, or pretend to grow like a plant. The other children guess the Creation day.

 

4. Roll and Find

Spread Creation picture cards around the room. A child rolls a cube and races to find the card that matches the picture.

 

5. Before or After?

A child rolls the cube and identifies the Creation day. Ask the child to name something God created: the day before, the day after, earlier in the creation story, later in the creation story.

 

6. Creation Category Game

After rolling, the child names other things belonging to that category. For example, if a child rolls Day 3 - Plants, he might say trees, flowers, grass. Or he might say, whales, fish, octopus for sea creatures. This works especially well for preschoolers and younger elementary children.

 

7. Creation Movement Game

Assign a movement to each picture. Children roll the cube and everyone performs the matching action.

• Light: stretch arms out like shining rays,
• Sky and Water: sway like waves
• Plants: grow slowly from the ground
• Sun, Moon, and Stars: twinkle fingers
• Birds and Fsh: fly or swim
• Animals and People: imitate an animal Rest: sit quietly

8. What Is Missing?

Display pictures representing all seven days. Have the children close their eyes while you remove one picture. A child rolls the cube and may remove another matching picture. Children then name the missing Creation days and put them back in order.

 

9. Creation Story Circle

Children sit in a circle and pass a cube while music plays. When the music stops, the child holding it rolls the cube and contributes one sentence to the Creation story based on the picture. For example: “On the third day, God gathered the water together and made dry land and plants.”

 

10. Roll, Draw, and Guess

A child rolls the cube without showing it to the class and draws something connected to that Creation day. The other children guess what was rolled and name the day.

 

11. Creation Memory Challenge

Roll the cube several times. Children must remember the pictures in the order rolled. Start with two rolls and gradually add more. Afterward, ask whether the rolled pictures were in the correct Creation order.

 

12. Thank You, God!

A child rolls the cube and names something connected to the picture for which they are thankful: “Thank You, God, for strawberries.” “Thank You, God, for the sun.” “Thank You, God, for my dog.”
