| FARM animals |
Make different animal sounds. Ask, "What animal
makes that sound?" Ask, "Do you know what the animal is
saying?" Point: We don't understand animals, what if we
suddenly couldn't understand other people?
Note:
I didn’t realize I hadn’t prepared for this enough. I knew I had 2 buckets of little animals at
church and thought I would just pull out some of them and talk about what they “said”. First animal was a giraffe, next was a deer,
and most of the others just said, “ROAR!”
It’s good to use FARM animals.

| Legos and Blocks |
While the children are building towers as tall as they can, ask
them questions, wait for their answers, and then discuss.
- Do you need to use your hands (eyes, arms) to make this
tower? Yes? Who gave you your hands? God did?
- Do you need light? Who
made the light? God did on Day 1.
Point: God provided all
I needed. AND He provided all the people
building the tower needed. They thought
they did it all by themselves!
Share if you can expand on this or have additional ideas.
Song(s)
The Tower of Babel
Genesis 11
Tune: On Top of Old Smoky
We’ll
build a great city from bricks that we bake.
All of the
world will think we are great!
We’ll
build a tall tower that reaches the sky.
All of the
world will see just
how high.
All good
things come
from God up above,
But we don’t
even thank him.
It’s all
about us.
***********************
Uh-OH!
So God
changed the way they talked and discussed.

Tower of Babel Song
Tune: He’s Got the
Whole World in His Hands
In the whole world they talked the same.
In the whole world they talked the same.
In the whole world they talked the same.
They were proud and forgot about God.
We’ll build a tower to the sky from brick we make.
We’ll build a tower to the sky from brick we make.
We’ll build a tower to the sky from brick we make.
They were proud and forgot about God.
We’ll build a great big city from bricks we make.
We’ll build a great big city from bricks we make.
We’ll build a great big city from bricks we make.
They were proud and forgot about God.
We’ll stay in the land of Shinar on this plain.
We’ll stay in the land of Shinar on this plain.
We’ll stay in the land of Shinar on this plain.
They were proud and forgot about God.
God came down and changed the way they talked!
God came down and changed the way they talked!
God came down and changed the way they talked!
Then He scattered them all over the Earth.
Remember to thank God for what you can do.
Remember to thank God for what you can do.
Remember to thank God for what you can do.
All your blessings come from Him.

YES and NO People Song:
There are YES people.
There are YES people.
There are YES people who say,
“Yes, I’ll do the right thing! YES! Every day!”
There are NO people.
There are NO people.
There are NO people who say,
“NO, I WON’T do the right thing! NO! I'll do it my way!”
Point: We need to mind
God and do what he says. The people
building the tower were supposed to move to lots of different places instead of
all just staying there.
