Pharaoh Says (Simon Says)
Play the child's game Simon Says but instead of saying "Simon says ...", say "Pharaoh says ..." Explain to the kids that the Pharaoh was the King of Egypt. And he had made the Israelites slaves. A slave had to do whatever the King and the King's people said to do. The King and the King's people could work them all day and really fast and could be mean. Invite the kids to play Pharaoh Says with you explaining that you will be the Pharaoh and they will be the slaves who must do whatever the Pharaoh says.
Musical Prayers (in your Lesson, page 27, also a Check-In Activity)
This is a game we are scheduled to play during Check-In but is also a neat activity to do in class after you have taught the story. You can review with the children through this game what they can do when they are sad.
When we are sad it is human nature to withdraw, feel sorry for ourselves, get mad, lash out at others, hoard our resources, etc. Encourage the kids that when they have a problem, God is there to help and they can cry (talk) out to Him just like the Israelites did.
Good Point Reminder: Remind the kids as you teach the lesson that God saved Moses when he was just a little baby. And now the Israelites are crying out to God to save them and God asks Moses to go and free the people. Remind the kids that if Moses had not been saved, he wouldn't have been able to help the Israelites get free. God knew that Moses would do this even when he was just a tiny baby. God knows us and knows what we can do for Him even when we are little and He promises to help us just like He helped Moses as a baby.
Ask the kids what they think will happen next week. How will God uses Moses to save the Israelites? Do they think Moses will be scared?
