Sunday School Activities About Joseph

Children's Worship Bulletins are educationally and theologically sound

Activity directions:

1. Give each child a bulletin and a pencil.
2. Instruct the children to complete the puzzle, "Joseph's brothers sold him to some merchants."
3. Have the children add the answers from each of the three panels in the puzzle (5 + 6 + 9 = 20) or count the total amount of money shown in the puzzle (20).
4. Explain to the children, "Now that we've finished the puzzle, let's hear the story about Joseph. Raise your hand when you hear for how many shekels Joseph's brothers sold him."
5. Read aloud Genesis 37:1-28.

1. "Open your Bibles or look at the handout of Genesis 45:1-15. Choose a verse that you'd like to memorize. For example, I'll choose part of verse 15: 'And he kissed all his brothers and wept over them.'
2. "On your sheet of paper, draw a blank line for each letter of each word of your verse. Be sure to leave space between the words. For my example, my blank lines would look like this (draw on the white/blackboard):
3. "Next, add at least one letter clue to each word.
4. "Then, choose a code number from the keypad shown in the puzzle for each letter in your verse and write it under the blank line. In my example, it would now look like this (add the letters and numbers to your illustration on the white/blackboard):
   
5. "When your team has completed their puzzle, turn it in."
