Dive into the rich lessons of I Samuel 2 with this resource designed for 1st-5th graders. With a blend of storytelling, interactive activities, and hands-on learning, this lesson plan is perfect for teaching in a variety of settings, including VBS, Homeschool, Children's Church, Children’s Bible Study, and Sunday School.

This resource helps children understand key biblical principles through the stories of Hannah’s prayer and the warnings to Eli’s sons.

Included in This Resource:

• Story Pages:

• Color Version: Full-color story pages designed for 1st-5th graders. These pages can be laminated and kept in a binder for repeated use. For convenience, print on both sides to save paper.

• Black and White Version: These story pages can double as coloring pages or you can print just the title page for additional creative activities.

• Storyboard Options:

• Available in both color and black and white, these storyboards help students visually follow along with the narrative. Choose the format that best suits your teaching needs.

• Show the Story Activity Plan:

• An interactive storytelling activity that encourages students to participate by becoming part of the story. This shortened version of the story helps maintain attention and reinforces key points.

• Visuals for Show the Story:

• A selection of visuals, available in both color and black and white, to be used with the “Show the Story” activity. Tailor your choices based on the age and needs of your students.

• Review Cards:

• These visuals can also serve as review cards. Print and cut out the cards for a hands-on recap of the story. Students can sequence the images to retell the story, either orally or in writing, making this an excellent summarization tool.

• Comic/Storyboard Review Activity:

• A creative review activity where students can illustrate and/or write about the story in comic or storyboard format. This allows them to demonstrate their understanding of the passage in a fun and engaging way.

• Gospel Presentation:

• Each lesson includes a gospel presentation to tie the story into the broader message of salvation. Students will learn about the sins committed in the passage and how they relate to the Ten Commandments, emphasizing our need for Jesus, the perfect sacrifice, who took our punishment and rose again.

Why This Lesson Works:

• Age-Appropriate Content: The lesson is specifically tailored for 1st-5th graders, ensuring the material is both engaging and understandable.
• Elevated Storytelling: This version of the story is adapted for 1st-5th graders, offering a more in-depth exploration compared to the PreK-Kindergarten version.
• Unique Review Activity: Unlike the PreK-Kindergarten version, this resource includes a comic/storyboard review activity that challenges students to creatively retell the story and express their understanding.
• Versatile Use: Ideal for VBS, Homeschool, Children's Church, Children’s Bible Study, and Sunday School, this lesson is adaptable to various teaching environments and group sizes.
• Comprehensive Materials: From story pages to review activities, this resource provides everything you need to teach I Samuel 2 in a way that resonates with young learners.

This is a fun, engaging way to teach the Bible. There is some prep work for the teacher, but the instructions are very clear and should only take a few minutes, depending on the number of children. There are seven puzzles to complete - one for each day of the creation. Students earn a key for each challenge completed. (I usually divide them into teams.) It takes all seven keys to escape the room. There is also a sign for pictures at the end.

Students LOVE doing escape rooms! This activity is ideal for a mixed group of ages and groups of between 2 and 15 children.

---------------------------------------

** NOTE**

There are literally hundreds of prophecies Jesus fulfilled. The Jesse tree does not limit them or tell everything there is to know about our wonderful Savior. With this in mind, you will find The Jesse Tree has been designed in many different ways and created with varying Bible stories and images and this is ok. I hope you enjoy the one I put together through much prayer and Bible study. I was truly inspiring to see Jesus in all the stories!
