This week, we will study Nehemiah. After Israel disobeyed God, they had been punished by being carried into captivity and having cities destroyed. Nehemiah was responsible for helping to rebuild Jerusalem. The full story is found in the book of Nehemiah. Some of the key points we will study are:
Building Block walls
Use building blocks (or household objects) to build a wall around an object.
Next, ask your child to knock down some of the walls. You could use toys to be the enemy and knock it down.
Help your child to repair the wall. Make sure to talk about the account of Nehemiah as you do so. Talk about how Nehemiah must have felt.
Race to the Gates
There are several gates mentioned in chapter 3 of Nehemiah. For this game, we will use four of them (there is a printable page included in the lesson). Sheep, Horse, Fish, and Fountain.
If you want to add more gates to make the game more difficult, feel free.
Print out the page with pictures that represent the gates. When you call out the gate, your child/children must rush to that gate.
Learn about some distant land
For pre-schoolers, even the next city can seem a long way away. Help your child to learn that Nehemiah was in a distant land.
You can look online at photos of Susa, which is in modern-day Iran. Find in on a map and show how far Nehemiah had to travel.
You could also learn about a culture different from your own. Find some information online or at the local library. Visit a restaurant serving from another culture. Visit a family who has moved from another country.
Help children learn about Nehemiah’s role as cup-bearing to the king with this easy to make craft.
