Lesson 28 - Numbers 16-17, Numbers 20 - Opstand

This lesson we will learn the following 'step' which can be learned to the children to remember as truth for their lives


Related Step text to learn: Dank God onder alle omstandigheden
Related Step Bible text: ΒΆ And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole. (Luke 17:11-19)

Activities

Here are some ideas for activities you can do with the children to process this lesson in a creative way


  1. Lees eerst het Bijbelverhaal voor over Mozes die op de rots slaat.
  2. Lees met de kinderen Joh 4:6-14
  3. Pak een vol en een leeg blikje. Ons leven is als het blikje. We moeten eerst van het levende water drinken dat de Here Jezus ons wilt geven. Vul 1 blikje voor ong 1/4 zodat hij schuin rechtop kan staan. 
  4. Lees: Als iemand dorst heeft, laat hij tot Mij komen en drinken. Wie in Mij gelooft, zoals de Schrift zegt: Stromen van levend water zullen uit zijn binnenste vloeien. En dit zei Hij over de Geest, Die zij die in Hem geloven, ontvangen zouden; want de Heilige Geest was er nog niet, omdat Jezus nog niet verheerlijkt was. (Johannes 7:37-39)
  5. Als we van het levende water hebben geproefd wil hij ons Zijn Geest geven die in ons komt wonen. Zijn Geest zal ons helpen om dit levende water niet alleen voor onszelf te houden, maar het mag uit ons vloeien zodat we mogen leven naar alle stappen die we steeds al behandeld hebben! Het is niet makkelijk om te leven volgens de stappen. Het is alsof we moeten balanceren door het leven, maar de Here geeft ons Zijn Geest om ons hierbij de kracht te geven. 
  6. Zorg dat alle stappen die tot nu toe zijn behandeld zijn opgehangen en kijk welke stap ze nog weten. Draai deze om als ze hem weten. Zo mogen we iedere stap uitleven als stromen van levend water die uit ons binnenste mogen voortvloeien.

Games to Memorize the Steps with Drawings

Steps Memory

Turn cards over and match illustrations with corresponding Bible verses.

Steps Memory

Supplies:
  • A6-sized steps with illustrations and Bible verses on the front. The back is blank.
  • A4-sized steps with illustrations and Bible verses on the front. The back has the title of the step.

Preparation:
  • Form teams in pairs or groups.
  • Place a set of A6 steps with their backs up in random order on a table or on the floor. This forms the "Memory" part of the game.

Task:
  • Let the children play in teams or pairs against each other.
  • Players take turns flipping two cards from the "Memory" section, trying to find a matching set of an A4 card and an A6 card.
  • If a player finds a matching set, they show both cards to the group and identify the Bible verse and illustration.
  • For an extra point, they can also try to guess the corresponding title of the step to be learned.
  • If the cards do not form a set, they are flipped back with the back facing up, and the next player takes a turn.
  • The game continues until all matching sets are found.
  • The team or player with the most correct sets and titles wins the game.
Searching Steps

Hide cards with Bible verses and illustrations for children to find.

Searching Steps

Supplies:
  • A6-sized steps with illustrations and Bible verses on the front. The back is blank.

Task:
  • Divide the children into teams.
  • Let one team hide the A6 cards, making sure to count how many cards they hide.
  • Allow the other team to search for the cards in the hidden area, optionally setting a time limit.
  • Once a team finds a card, they must identify the corresponding step.
  • The team earns 1 point for correctly naming the step and 1 point for finding the step.
  • If a team doesn't know the step, the other team can guess and, if correct, earn 1 point.
  • When all cards are found or time is up, switch roles, and the team with the most points at the end wins.
Guess the Step

Guess which step matches a displayed drawing.

Guess the Step

Step Choice Challenge

Choose a drawing and provide hints, make a drawing, or use a 'forbidden word' to convey the step's meaning.

Steps Choice Challenge

Preparation:
  • Form two teams.
