This resource gives you everything you need to teach Numbers 20 and 21 and to help preschoolers and kindergarten students to remember. The lesson focuses on the Israelites complaining, Moses striking the rock in disobedience to God, the snakes that bite them and God's salvation from the punishment He sends.

1. Title Page - Color

4. The story of Numbers 20-21 Black and White
5. Order the events - Activity (color, cut, and glue)

This lesson takes me an hour to teach.

1. How to prep:

I printed and laminated the story pages the evening before. I also printed the coloring page and the Order the Events activity sheets the evening before.

Finally, I made sure I had enough glue sticks and scissors.

2. I read the story pages. Students can color while I read to help them focus.

3. I showed the story cards (just smaller versions of the slides that students take home) to students and asked them to repeat as much of the story back to me as they can.

4. Students color the Order the Events activity.

5. They cut out each box. I have found it's helpful to cut this part of the paper off completely before they have to cut. It's easier for little ones who are just learning to cut. There is a line across the page to show where to cut.

5. Since they are not reading yet, I read the boxes and they show me which picture goes in the box.

6. They glue the picture in the box.

7. I finish with the dice activity. Students roll the dice. When the dice lands, students look at the picture on top. I ask, "What is that picture? When did that come up in the story?"

Why should I choose this resource?

1. The story comes from Scripture but is summarized for young learners. The Word of God is not compromised in the process.

2. There are a variety of coloring pages for students to do during the lesson to help them listen to the story but still busy with a non-linguistic activity so their brains do not have competition between the 2 activities.

3. There are plenty of activities to keep them engaged. (Note: Our church has a worship leader that comes in to teach songs for a few minutes so that is scheduled into our time.)

4. Easy to understand directions throughout the slide when in edit mode.

5. Colorful and engaging pictures to help tell the story for pre-readers or early readers.

6. A chance to work with the story while practicing coloring, cutting, and gluing.
