Teaching Truth

  • Sin separates us from God.

  • God had a plan to rescue the world from sin.

Questions to Ask Your Child

  • Who wanted to stop God’s plan?

  • What was the first sin?

  • Why do you think Adam and Eve hid from God after they ate the fruit from the tree?

  • What was the consequence of Adam and Eve’s disobedience?

  • Will God forgive you when you sin? How?

Family Activity

Help your child make a ring snake by cutting strips of construction paper about 2 inches wide. Help your child turn one strip of paper into a ring and staple, tape, or glue it together. Take another strip of paper and slide it through the previously made ring and staple it into a ring. Repeat the process until you have a long chain of rings. On the first ring, add eyes and a tongue for the head of the snake. Using red construction paper, cut one more strip and make a single ring. Make this ring into fruit by adding a stem to it. Have your child grab some dolls or stuffed animals and act out the story using the paper snake and fruit.

Wrap-Up

With each lesson, help your child apply what they have learned by asking, “What do you think God wants us to learn from this story?” If you get stuck with finding the answer, refer to the weekly Teaching Truths.
