8 Favorite moses games & bible story crafts for preschool kids

Our preschool sunday school class has learning about God’s power through the study of the Moses Bible story! Here’s a look at 8 Moses games and crafts that have been a kid-favorite the last few weeks.

Moses Games & Exploration Stations

The first 15 minutes of our 45-minute class on Sunday mornings is spent in exploration stations that connect with our big idea. Our Moses unit is no different!

Our unit anchor chart doubles as a velcro dot puzzle during station time.

The top shelf in our library station showcases books about Moses that are easy for our little readers to grab and curl up next to a pillow and read!

Another one of our Moses games in our exploration stations is match. Match is always a winner with my preschoolers! 🙂 This Moses game is perfect for reviewing the vocabulary from the Moses Bible story and the lessons we’ve learned so far.

 

float the Nile Moses game

Hands down, our favorite part of our first week was our Float the Nile game!  We play this game as a whole group and each kid gets a different color baby Moses or their own game board if you have more than 3-4 kids. Each player draws a question card. You read the question. If the kid answers it correctly, the “float” their baby Moses down the river based on the number on the card.

It was great comprehension practice for our pre-readers and they loved getting to “float” their baby Moses! 🙂

 

Moses & The Burning Bush activity

When we learned about Moses and the burning bush, we learned that God is powerful to use a bush to speak to people.

During our craft time, we made our own burning bush using 1″ squares of red, orange and yellow tissue paper. We rolled the tissue paper around the end of a crayon and glued it on the bush.

I wasn’t sure how my 3 and 4 year olds would do with the traditional tissue paper craft, but they did so great!  Even my youngest boys were able to do this after I showed them one time!  And they LOVED this and kept begging for more pieces to cover their flames!

 

Moses & the 10 plagues game

We took two weeks to talk about the Plagues of Egypt…even though my SS curriculum guide says just one week.  It’s just so much to pack into one week!  The first week, we talked about all of the plagues, but focused in on the frogs!

I totally thought I had frog stickers, too, and was in a panic when I realized I didn’t. So, at the last minute, I hole punched green construction paper for pretend frogs. YA’LL…. all the giggles! It was like they had real frogs all over the table or something! Sometimes our plan B is just as good or better, right? 🙂

The second plague week, we focused on the stubbornness of Pharoah and the how far God’s power went to save His people…God will never give up on us! We matched the pictures to the words. I did precut the circles for them, just to make it faster. And we worked on finding the first letter of the words to help us match the pictures!

Moses & the red sea craft

We had so much fun with our red sea craft during this Moses bible unit. While I got everything set up, they colored Moses. Then, I added glue stick glue to the “path” part of the picture and the kids each pinched sand on top. We poured the extra back in the sand container and had our dry land!

Then, we used puffy paint (equal parts shaving cream and Elmer’s glue and blue food coloring) to paint the red sea walls on either side of our dry land!

Check out the Red Sea wall on this one!!

moses & the 10 commandments craft

Our last week of studying Moses, we learned about how God used his power to speak to the Israelites and to write on stone tablets with his finger!

They each chose 2 commandments to trace the words, cut, crinkle up and glue!

All of these Moses games and crafts, plus many more activities (like this Manna from Heaven game) can be found in my Moses Bible Unit!
