This resource gives you everything you need to teach Joshua 6 and to help preschoolers and kindergarten students to remember. The lesson focuses on the fall of the walls of Jericho as the Israelites obey God's command to march around the city and shout when Joshua gives the word. Students will learn about God's faithfulness to His promises.

Included:

• Story pages with color. I laminate these and keep them in a binder. I also print on both sides to save paper.
• Story pages in black and white, which are great for coloring pages
• A storyboard in color (great for booklets and to help students retell the story.
• A storyboard in black and white (also a great coloring page or booklet) I often send these home with students so parents can see exactly what the students learned and maybe even retell the story with them.
• Puzzles -a 9 piece and a 4 piece. Another great way to retell the story. Simply cut the puzzle pieces out and have students put them together. Once they see the completed image, you can ask about the pictures and how they fit into the story.
• A counting activity (with answer key) using the pictures from the story. I love to put many skills to use. Students can count the objects and people and tell why they are important.
• A word search activity (with answer key)
• Joshua 6:27 flash cards for the memory verse. KJV but editable for a different version if you prefer
• Joshua 6:27 memory verse poster. Again, it is the KJV but editable if you prefer a different version.

1. How to prep:

I printed and laminated the story pages the evening before. I also printed the coloring page and the memory verse activity sheets the evening before.

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 can put the puzzle together and retell again if there is time.

5. Students can also work on the word search or counting activity, depending on the age.

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.

4. Easy to understand instructions for printing

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, counting, and reading
