Bx OT 1 and 2 Flookburgh School

This afternoon I had a great time with the pupils of Mr. Ross's class at Flookburgh School.  I started Bible Explorer with them.  As there are only 4 Fridays before Easter it was agreed that today to start us off I would do a double lesson with a 20min break between.  So we worked our way through Genesis up to the point when Joseph is in prison and the baker and butler have had their dreams and Pharaoh has too.  Joseph has been presented before Pharaoh and told him what the dreams mean.  Following the short break we continued to tell the story with Joseph as Prime Minister of all Egypt and receiving his own brothers before him asking for food.  Concluding this story we move 400 years to tell the Moses story and how he was told by God to go before Pharaoh and ask him to let the Israelites go from slavery.  During each story part we introduced new hand signs to help the children remember the points of the story.  We concluded today with the death of Moses and the people of Israel ready once again to take over the land.  Next week Joshua and Judges.
