3 51 Noah Builds the Ark Geesis 6:5-22 BIBLe BACKGROUND FOR LEADERS A Drastic Solutio to a Huge Problem God s statemet i Geesis 6:7 grew out of pai ad was a sorrowful ackowledgmet that to make thigs better, most of the earth s populatio would have to die. The people that God created had so tured agaist him that he had to start over with the few who remaied faithful. Fortuately, oe righteous ma still loved God. The word traslated righteous i verse 9 idicates that Noah sought both to worship ad obey God ad also to live i fairess with his huma eighbors who did t share his values. Noah was a shiig example of goodess i a dark world. Cosider the immesity of the task Noah udertook. The ark was oe ad a half times the legth of a football field, as wide as a high-school basketball court is log, ad as tall as a five-story buildig. There were to be three decks iside ad may rooms to house all the differet aimals. All of this was to be built of a particular kid of wood (which we ca t idetify precisely) i a arid area where wood likely was ot pletiful. to sacrifice i worship without wipig out a species (Geesis 7:2-3). We do t kow how ofte Noah was discouraged or if his eighbors ad family ridiculed him. But we do kow that he did everythig just as God commaded him. Ad that s a great example of faithful obediece for all of us. The Jesus Coectio Jesus obeyed God i every tur ad detail of his life. Whe we look to Jesus ad follow his example, we re obeyig God. What a beautiful way to live! Whe has God directed you to do somethig? It ca sometimes seem scary, but it s also excitig because God reveals his faithfuless ad stregth whe we obey him i the thigs he asks us to do. Take comfort i kowig that whe you obey, God will give everythig you eed to carry out his plas. Ask God what he wats you to do. You ca write your prayer here. A Uique, Sea-Worthy Vessel Obviously o oe had ever built a floatig zoo of that size. Fortuately, God kew what he was doig. Moder shipbuildig experts have cofirmed that the dimesios give i the Bible would be ideal to esure that a large woode vessel would remai itact ad upright while adrift i heavy seas. I additio to carig for his family, Noah was give the resposibility of housig ad feedig two of every kid of aimal i the ark (Geesis 6:19, 21). I a amazig miracle, God led all the aimals to the ark at just the right time. Ad the reaso there were seve pairs of certai aimals was so that Noah would have aimals Grades 3 & 4 Lesso 5
4 52 GETTING STARTED Istat Arks Supplies washable markers large poster board ruler scissors tape Teacher Pack Istat Ark cards Istat Arks Easy Prep Cut apart the Istat Ark cards. Hag the poster board o a smooth wall. Istat Arks What You ll Do Welcome kids warmly as they arrive, ad ask them how their week wet. Have kids form six groups, ad ivite a willig child i each group to be the Artist (he or she wo t be allowed to look at the group s istructio card). The give each group oe Istat Ark card, makig sure the Artist i each group does t see the card. Say: Each group has a picture o a card that represets your group s directios for creatig a picture. We ll go i order of the umbers o the cards ad whe it s your group s tur, sed your Artist up to the poster board to draw. Artists will use a ruler ad a marker to draw accordig to the directios he or she hears from the group. Pause to allow groups to study their cards ad to allow for ay questios about the istructios. Say: Everyoe else i the group, work together to tell your Artist how to draw just the dark black lies you see o your card. Let s start with the group that has card umber oe. If kids have trouble traslatig the pictures o the cards, use these istructios as a guide: Card 1: Draw a log, horizotal lie across the middle of the page. Card 2: Draw a horizotal lie that s cetered iches below the first lie ad is half as log as the first lie. Coect the top lie to the bottom lie o each ed usig lies that curve slightly. Card 3: Draw a horizotal lie that s cetered about 3 iches above the first lie, ad agai, about half as log. Draw two vertical lies coectig the eds of this lie to the lie below it. Card 4: Draw four vertical lies equally spaced withi the top rectagle. Card 5: Draw a lie cetered about 3 iches above the top lie, ad about 2 iches shorter tha the top lie. Do t coect the eds. Card 6: Draw a slated lie extedig from each ed of the top lie dow just past the top corers of the rectagle. Ask: Group Six ca see o their card how the drawig is meat to look. What eeds to chage o our drawig to make it match what you see o the card? If the drawig does t look quite right, flip the poster board over ad allow kids to try oce more. Lesso 5 Grades 3 & 4
5 53 Talk With Kids Lead kids i this discussio. Ask: Whe you started drawig, what did you thik the picture might be? What made it easy or difficult to obey the istructios? What makes it easy or difficult to obey istructios at home, at school, or aywhere else? Say: Obeyig istructios was importat i this activity to be able to draw a picture of the ark a big boat. I the Bible, Noah had to follow God s istructios exactly to build the ark. God gave Noah clear istructios, while our istructios for drawig the ark were more difficult to uderstad. Sometimes it s easy to obey God ad sometimes it s difficult, but GOD WANTS US TO OBEY either way. Let s lear more about Noah ad why God wated him to build the ark. 2 BIBLE EXPLORATION All Aboard! What You ll Do Say: Today we re goig back i time to the days before the giat flood. Have kids fid ad poit to Noah o the Bible Timelie. Say: I Noah s time, the world was t a very ice place. All the people i the world, except Noah ad his family, were evil ad it made God sad. God decided to sed a flood that would wipe away all livig thigs ad basically start over. Because Noah was close to God, God wared him of what was comig ad gave him istructios for buildig a ark. The ark was a massive boat desiged to save Noah, his family, ad a small portio of the world s aimals from the flood water that would cover the etire earth. Ask: What do you thik of God s pla to give the world a ew start? Say: I this activity, you ll have the opportuity to help Noah prepare for the flood. You ca choose to work at oe of four statios. At Statio 1, you ll make a chart to show how big the ark actually was, comparig it with objects we kow about today. At Statio 2, you ll prepare a shoppig list for supplies to be take oto the ark. At Statio 3, you ll build a simple model of the ark. Ad at Statio 4, you ll decide how to care for the aimals o the ark. Allow kids to each choose oe statio ad move to it. The statios are desiged to appeal to differet learig styles, ad kids will aturally gravitate toward the activity where they ll feel most comfortable. If a statio is over- or uder-represeted, ivite willig kids to move to aother statio. All Aboard! Supplies Bibles pes paper washable markers tape scissors brow paper grocery bag cardboard shoebox craft sticks 1 copy of each of 4 sigs (at the ed of this lesso) Teacher Pack Noah s Ark poster Bible Timelie All Aboard! Easy Prep Set up the followig statios i differet parts of the room, each with a Bible, pes, paper, markers, ad the additioal items listed below: Statio 1: How Big Was It? sig Statio 2: Shoppig List sig Statio 3: Shipyards sig, tape, craft sticks, scissors, cardboard shoe box, brow paper grocery bag Statio 4: The Floatig Zoo sig Grades 3 & 4 Lesso 5
6 54 Say: At each statio, you ll fid paper ad pes for writig or drawig your plas. Save a piece of paper to make a poster to preset to the rest of the group. You ll also fid a Bible at each statio. Begi by takig turs readig Geesis 6:14-22 to lear more about Noah ad the ark. The discuss how your group will approach your project. Make sure everyoe i your group is ivolved. You ca use the Bible to check out facts ad details. You ca also use this Noah s Ark poster. Hold up the Noah s Ark poster. It has directios to help each group with its assigmet. Tape the poster to a wall at kids eye level. Allow kids up to 15 miutes to work. Remid them of their assigmets as eeded. Circulate amog groups to offer help ad ecouragemet as eeded. Guide kids with these hits: At Statio 1, kids ca draw a picture comparig the size of the ark with a ma, a bus, a buildig, a football field, ad so o. At Statio 2, kids ca estimate how much hay ad water might be eeded to supply all the aimals. Or they ca discuss what differet kids of food may have bee take aboard. At Statio 3, kids ca build a model of the ark, showig the three decks. Kids could the use tape ad craft sticks to make ad coect a roof to the body of the ark. At Statio 4, ecourage kids to be creative i thikig of how Noah could ve situated the aimals. For example: How did Noah keep the birds cotaied, or did t he? What kid of waterig system could Noah have created? Which aimals does it make sese to place ext to each other? After 10 miutes, tell kids to begi wrappig up their projects. After aother 5 miutes, have each group make its presetatio to the etire group. After each group s presetatio, lead everyoe i a roud of applause. Talk With Kids Lead kids i this discussio. Ask: What was it like to obey the istructios give for your projects? Explai. Compared with your istructios for your projects, how clear were God s istructios to Noah? Explai. What do you thik might have made Noah s task iterestig or borig ow that you kow more about the ark? What ca you lear from Noah s obediece? Say: Noah kew that he could trust God, so he cotiued to obey God util his task was complete. He did t give up o obeyig God o matter how hard it might ve bee. GOD WANTS US TO OBEY, ad we ca lear a great lesso from the way Noah obeyed God. You ca choose to obey God, eve whe it is t easy or whe it s hard work. Lesso 5 Grades 3 & 4
7 55 3 WEAVING FAITH INTO LIFE Navigatioal Chart What You ll Do Have kids form pairs, makig sure ew parters were t i the same groups durig the last activity. Say: Boat captais usually have somethig called a avigatioal chart. It s a chart that tells them where to go ad where ot to go sort of like a map for the ocea. Let s make charts to help us avigate our lives to obey God. The first thig boat captais must do is figure out what obstacles might be i their way. Let s figure out some obstacles we might ru ito whe we try to obey. Distribute pes ad today s Bible Truth Sleuth pages, ad have kids fid the Navigatioal Chart. Have each child complete the left side of the chart, titled Obstacles. Let kids fiish writig, ad the have them discuss their aswers with their parters for a few miutes. Ivite willig kids to share their aswers. Navigatioal Chart Supplies Bible Truth Sleuth pes Navigatioal Chart Easy Prep Tear out the Lesso 5 pages from each Bible Truth Sleuth studet book. Say: Next, captais must figure out possible ways to get aroud those obstacles. We ll do that for our lives, too. If others create obstacles i our lives, how ca we still obey God? Our Key Verse, Acts 5:29, says: We must obey God rather tha me! (Acts 5:29). Repeat the Key Verse with me. Lead kids i sayig the Key Verse. Now, work with your parter to thik of ways to fill out the right side of the chart, titled How to Obey. Give kids a few more miutes to talk ad write. Say: After captais have made their avigatioal chart, they use it to create a map that ll help them remember what obstacles to watch for ad how to get aroud them. Let s do that, too! O your Bible Sleuth Truth page, uder your chart, you ll see the begiig of a map. Draw pictures to represet the thigs you listed uder Obstacles. Those are your obstacles to avoid. Allow time for kids to draw. Now you ca draw a dotted lie from Start to Fiish, makig your way aroud the obstacles. Alog your dotted lie, write the Key Verse to show that followig God is the way to get aroud your obstacles. Allow time. Talk With Kids Lead kids i this discussio. Ask: What discoveries did you make about thigs that ca be obstacles to obeyig? What did you write for thigs you ca say to someoe who s tryig to get you to do wrog? Tell about the people you ca tur to for help i obeyig God. What else ca help you avigate aroud the obstacles you came up with? Grades 3 & 4 Lesso 5
8 56 Say: Obeyig God meas trustig that God kows what s best for you. Noah kew that eve though obeyig God meat a lot of work, God s directios to build the ark would save him ad his family. Ulike people, God will ever ask you to obey somethig that s wrog. GOD WANTS US TO OBEY him because it s best for us. Whe we obey God, we chart the best course for our lives. 4 LASTING IMPRESSIONS Daily Challeges Supplies Bible Truth Sleuth Daily Challeges What You ll Do Say: Let s thik about how GOD WANTS US TO OBEY this week ad make a pla of actio.

Talk to God whe it s difficult to obey, ad ask for his help. Make sure you choose a Daily Challege as well, ad tell kids what you chose. Kids will be more iclied to follow through o their commitmets whe they see you doig the same. Talk With Kids Ask: What s a practical way you re goig to do your Daily Challege?
