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 called Moses from the bush and
promised to be with him.
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.

Play / Apply / Grow
Listen-and-pause: look at a paper bush while the teacher explains that it burned yet was not
consumed. Use paper only, never fire or heated objects.
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
No fire demonstrations. Do not draw God as a person in the bush or teach that any unusual sight is a divine command.
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: ______________________________
