Noah and the Flood by Jennifer Tolbert
This is the story of how God shut Noah, his family, and the animals into the ark and sent the floodwaters, just as he said he would. Too late is a terrible feeling. For the people on Earth who refused to hear Noah's warning, it was just that--too late.
Noah's faith allowed him to save himself and his family. Noah is an example of faith and obedience. Key Concepts: 1. Sin grieves God. 2. Obeying God is very important. 3. God never forgets those who are faithful to Him. Noah was saved by faith. Memory Verse
Genesis 9:16
“Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind.” Songs
Books of the Old Testament

Begin Class with Songs, Games, Table Activity, or Sharing Time
Open Class in Prayer Introducing the Story Ideas 1. Make simple rain sticks: Allow the children to make simple rain sticks as you wait for class to begin. As you tell the story, tell the kids to shake the rain sticks anytime they hear the word "rain" in the story. (Idea from TruewayKids.org) 2. Animal Match-up: Print out cards with 2 of each animal on it. Let the kids play a game of "memory" to pair all of the animals up. SAY: Today, we are going to talk about how God sent a mommy and daddy of every animal into the ark to rescue them from the flood. 3. Noah's Ark Stem Kit: Better for older kids. Challenge the kids to build their own ark using materials you provide. At the end of class, test to see whose design can hold the most weight (use pennies or plastic animals). You can purchase this kit from Oriental Trading. Story: Last week we discussed how sin had entered the world and was slowly creeping in and stealing the hearts of God's people. Over time, more and more people turned to evil instead of good! So many people had become evil that they couldn't even think of a good thought! Except for one man, Noah! Noah built the ark, just as God told him too. And God sent a flood, just like He said He would! READ Genesis 7 or show the power point Noah Builds an Ark, part 2. EMPHASIZE that:
Trueway Kids: Noah's Ark (Video and Printables)
Saddleback Kids: Noah's Ark (Video) God's Story: Noah's Ark (Video) Minno: Who is Noah? (Video) God is...
Challenge the children to come up with "God is" statements based on this story such as God is faithful, God is powerful, etc.
