Your Classroom Materials – Everything You Need
Print one W1 worksheet per child; keep this two-page guide. Bring a KJV Bible and large crayons.
Optional supplies: large paper shapes or drawings for the game below. No purchases required.
Prepare and teach
Read the passage before class. Bible idea (original explanation): God created the heaven and the
earth.
Learning goals: recognize the main story idea; participate in the three activities with support; answer
or point in response to the story question. Do not grade pencil control as Bible understanding.
Read every instruction aloud. Offer pointing, a finger trace, a spoken response or a scribe. One page
is designed for about 5-8 minutes, with breaks as needed; attention varies. Trace one short section
or color one or two areas if the child prefers; completing every mark is not required.

Creation thank-you circle: children choose a created thing to name, point to or draw. Explain that the
worksheet garden shows creation as a whole; optionally read Genesis 1:20-25 for the animals.
Optional additional 15 minutes: repeat the game in a new turn order, let children retell with gestures, then draw one
detail. Essential home lesson: 15-25 minutes using a short KJV reading, one worksheet task, the story question and
memory verse. Times are estimates.
Accuracy and care
Do not describe the earth as a god or turn an illustration into a scientific scale model.
Artwork and modern application pictures are learning aids, not Scripture or proof of exact historical appearance. Do not
portray God as a human. Keep prayers optional; no frightening reenactments, forced touch or unsafe materials.
Teacher check: understands independently / with help / not yet. Next time I will: ______________________________
