April 13 –The Manna: God Provides Food

Big Idea: God gave His people food and water while they were in the desert.

Story Scripture: Exodus 16:1—17:7

Bible Verse: “The Lord sent manna from heaven.” Exodus 16

At Home Ideas:

Gather Manna
Spread a large, clean sheet or blanket on the floor and scatter popcorn on it. Let your child collect the “manna” as a treat. Remind them that God’s people had to gather the manna every day to eat.

Taste Test
You will need a variety of foods for your child to taste, i.e. sweet foods, salty foods, and sour foods.
Talk with your child about the wonderful variety of foods God has given us. Allow them to taste test different foods one at a time. What are their favorites? Least favorites? Remember to thank God for all foods!

April 6 –The Red Sea: God Rescues His People

Big Idea: God rescued His people from the Egyptians by miraculously opening the Red Sea.

Story Scripture: Exodus 14

Bible Verse: “God’s people went through the Red Sea on dry ground.” Exodus 14:29

At Home Ideas:

Can You Do It?
Place a shallow pan of water on a table where your child can easily reach it. Give your child a straw and have them blow strongly on the water in the pan to try and part it like the wind that God sent on the Red Sea. Have them tell you what happened when God sent a wind to blow on the waters of the Red Sea.
