God Speaks to MosesPraise Jesus!God Speaks to Moses Lesson 10Bible PointGod wants usto know him.Bible Verse“Taste and see that the Lord is good” (Psalm 34:8a).Growing Closer to JesusChildren willn discover what God is like,n find out how to get to know God, andn understand that they’re special to God.Teacher EnrichmentBible Basisn God speaks to Moses.Exodus19:3–20:21God spoke to Moses and promised him that Israel would be his treasured possession, hisholy people—if they would obey him. After Moses told the people what God had said, theyresponded gratefully: “We will do everything the Lord has commanded.” God responded bytelling Moses that he would come down himself and speak with the Israelites from a cloud.Why was God so concerned about people coming up the mountain to “see” him? Becausehe wanted them to realize the extent of his holiness and of their unrighteousness. OnlyMoses and Aaron were allowed to approach God, and then only as the people’s representatives, not on the basis oftheir own holiness.The law God gave spelled out how the Israelites were to honor him through their obedience. The TenCommandments contained the essence of that law. The first four commandments, having to do with our relationshipwith God, spell out the position of priority and honor that he is to hold in our lives. The last six, dealing with ourrelationships with others (Exodus 20:12-17), give us lots of guidance on how to respect others.Prayer Read Matthew 22:34-40. How does Jesus’ summary of the law correspond to today’s passage? Pray: Lord, help me obey your commandments and teach my students to be obedient, too, by Hands-On Bible Curriculum—Grades 1 & 2 109

God Speaks to MosesWelcomeSUPPLIES: “Trumpet Name Tags” handout (p. 107), scissors, markers, tape Greet each child individually with an enthusiastic smile. Thank each child for coming to class today. As children arrive, ask them about last week’s “Growing Together” activities. Use questions such as “Where did you discover that you could worship God last week?” Say: Today we’re going to learn that God wants us to know him. Hand out the name tags children made during Lesson 9, and help children attach thename tags to their clothing. If some of the name tags were damaged, or if childrenweren’t in class that week, have children make new name tags using the photocopiablehandout. Tell children that you’ll raise your hand to get their attention. They should respondby raising their hands and focusing their attention on you. Rehearse this signal, andencourage the children to respond quickly so you’ll have time for all the fun activitiesin this lesson.It’s important to say the Bible Pointjust as it’s written in each activity.Repeating the Bible Point over andover throughout the lesson willhelp kids remember it and apply itto their lives.Attention Grabbern How Do You Do?SUPPLIES: index cards, penBefore class, write easily identifiable job titles on index cards. Make enough cards forevery child to have a different one. For example, you could write these job titles on six different cards: firefighter, police officer, bus driver, doctor, teacher, and cook. (Be sure not toindicate gender on the cards; for example, use “firefighter” rather than “fireman.”)During class, have the children stand in a circle to formally introduce themselves.Start by bowing and shaking hands with the child on your left. In your best aristocraticvoice, say: How do you do? I’m [your name], and I’m so very pleased to meetyou. Then have that child introduce himself or herself to the next person in the circle,using the same words. Continue until everyone has been introduced.Say: Now that we’ve introduced ourselves, let’s play a game in which wecan pretend we’re other people.Have children sit in a circle. Have a volunteer pick a card, give a clue, and act outthe occupation named on the card. For example, a child who chooses “police officer”might say, “I help children when they’re lost.” Then that person might pretend todirect traffic.When everyone has had a turn, ask: Was it easy to guess who everyone was pretending to be? Why or whynot? (It was easy because they gave us good clues; it was hard because I couldn’t guesswho some people were.) Do you think it’s easy to get to know people? Why or why not? (I think it’seasy because it’s fun; I think it’s hard because sometimes I get scared.) How do you feel when someone wants to get to know you? (I like it; itmakes me feel good; I get nervous.)If you have more than tenstudents, plan to have only fiveor six volunteers choose cards, ordivide the children into groups offour to six.Hands-On Bible Curriculum—Grades 1 & 2 111
Lesson 10Say: It can be a lot of fun getting to know people and making friends.There’s one friend who really wants to know each one of us better thananybody—and that’s God! God wants us to know him. Today we’re going tofind out more about getting to know God. Let’s look in the Bible to find outhow some other people learned about God.Encouraging children to participatein the story and point out wherethe characters of the story aredemonstrating the Bible Point willhelp kids discover how the storycan be applied to their lives.Bible Exploration & Applicationn Moses on the MountainSUPPLIES: Bible, CD player, newspapersHave the children sit in a circle. Open your Bible to Exodustrack 519:3–20:21, and show children the passage. Let the children usethe Learning Lab items to help you tell the story.Say: This story takes place near a mountain, so let’sbuild a mountain. Have the children crumple newspaper intowads and pile the paper wads in the center of the circle.Hold a stackable clown on top of the paper mountain, andsay: Moses went to the mountain to talk to God. Godcalled to him and said, “Tell all the Israelites to remember how I took care ofthem and released them from being slaves in Egypt. Tell them that if theywill obey me and keep our agreement, they will be my people.”So Moses went down the mountain (move the Moses clown down), calledthe people together, and told them what God said. All the people agreedto follow God.When Moses told God that the people wanted to obey him, God said, “Iwill come to you in a thick cloud, Moses, so the people themselves can hearme when I speak with you.”Then God told Moses to tell all the Israelites to spend three days preparing themselves. They washed their clothes and got ready to meet with God.Let’s pretend to wash our clothes and ourselves to get ready to meet withGod. Act out washing with the children.God said the people must not come too close to the mountain becauseit was a holy place. Let’s use the Chinese jump-rope to show the line thepeople couldn’t cross. Have the children help you encircle the mountain with theChinese jump-rope.When the people were clean and ready to meet God, they gathered nearthe line. Have children line up the stackable clowns around the Chinese jump-rope.Retain the clown that represents Moses. There was thunder (have the children stomptheir feet), lightning (flash the classroom lights), and a thick cloud. All the peopleknew that God was there. They shook all over because they knew that Godis great and mighty.God called to Moses and told him to come up the mountain. So Mosesclimbed the mountain to meet with God. Hold the Moses clown at the top of themountain again. While Moses was on the mountain, God gave him rules to tellthe people below. The rules explained how God wanted them to live. Here’sthe first thing God said: “I am the Lord your God, who rescued you from112 Hands-On Bible Curriculum—Grades 1 & 2
God Speaks to Mosesthe land of Egypt, where you were slaves. You must not have any other godbut me.”God wanted the people to know that he is the only real God. He wantedthe people to know that he was the one who had rescued them from aterrible life in Egypt.Then God explained that the people shouldn’t worship idols—they shouldworship only God. He asked them not to use the name of God thoughtlessly.He said one day a week would be set aside for the people to worship; theyshouldn’t work on that day. Then he told Moses to tell the people to obeytheir parents, to not kill people, to make marriage a special promise, to nottake anything that didn’t belong to them, to tell the truth all the time, andto be happy with the things they had.Moses went back down the mountain (move the Moses clown down themountain) and told the people all the rules God wanted them to follow.When the people saw lightning and smoke rising from the mountain, theywere scared. They heard thunder, and then they shook because they wereso afraid. Have children shake the clowns. They stood far away from the mountain. The people said, “Moses, you must speak to us yourself. We’ll listento you. But please don’t let God speak directly, or we will die!” How wouldyour face and body look if you were that scared? Have the children show youscared faces and fearful postures.But Moses said, “Don’t be afraid. God wants you to respect him and obeyhis rules and do right. God doesn’t want you to be scared of him.”Ask: What do you think the people learned about God? (That God is powerful; that God can make thunder and lightning; that God has rules.) Does God want us to be scared of him? Why or why not? (Yes, becauseGod might hurt us if we don’t obey him; no, God loves us.)Say: God wanted the people to understand him and realize that it’simportant to follow him. The Israelites learned a lot about God. They learnedthat there is only one God and he is very special. And they learned thatGod has important rules for them to follow.Play “Obey My Commandments” (John 14:15) from the CD (track 5). Encouragechildren to sing along and clap with the song. Song lyrics are at the back of thisteacher guide.Say: God gave us commandments so we could learn about him. Godwants us to know him. Let’s find out more about getting to know God.Return the stackable clowns and Chinese jump-rope to the Learning Lab.The children will learn more aboutthe Ten Commandments in alesson next quarter. This lesson’sfocus is to teach children that Godwants them to know him.Bible InsightThe covenant God madewith Moses outlined God’smoral, civil, and ceremoniallaws. These laws establishedthe form for Jewish worshipin the Old Testamentand directed the life ofGod’s chosen people forthe remainder of the OldTestament period. TodayChristians no longer followthe ceremonial and civil lawsoutlined in Exodus, but theTen Commandments aretimeless truths.n Becoming Like GodSUPPLIES: Bible, paper, tape, crayonsGive each child a sheet of paper. Distribute the craft sticksevenly among the students. Have the children arrange the craftsticks on their papers to form a picture of God or one of hischaracteristics or to spell a word about God. Have children maketape loops to attach their craft sticks to the paper. While childrenare creating their pictures, ask:Hands-On Bible Curriculum—Grades 1 & 2 113
Lesson 10If students answer an open-endedquestion with responses such as“I don’t know” or “I’m not sure,”encourage them to dig deeper bysaying, “Pretend you do know,” or“Take a guess anyway.” Stimulatefurther discussion with suchquestions as “What else could thatmean?” or “What other ideas cometo your mind?” What do you know about God? (God is kind; God is loving; God is powerful;God is good; God can do miracles.) How do you know what God is like? (From what I learn in church; from whatmy mom says; from what the Bible says.)Say: Listen to what the Bible says about God. Read James 4:8a andEphesians 5:1 from an easy-to-understand version of the Bible such as the Hands-OnBible in the child-friendly New Living Translation. We’re going to come close toGod and see how we can imitate God.Give each child another sheet of paper and a crayon. Say: This sheet of paperstands for you, so write your name at the top of it. Now put your sheet ofpaper on top of the paper that tells about God. Then rub the side of yourcrayon across the page. Demonstrate this for the children.Give children a few minutes to rub their crayons across the page. Let them usedifferent-colored crayons if they want to.When their pictures are finished, say: Now the papers that represent youshow a picture of what God is like. That can happen in real life, too. You canshow what God is like. The closer you get to God and the more you learnabout God, the easier it becomes to imitate God. God wants us to knowhim, and it makes God very happy when we become like him.Children may take the pictures home with them. Return the craft sticks to theLearning Lab.HANDS-ON BIBLEHave children open their Hands-On Bibles to Exodus 19 and findthe “Whadya Say?” activity located nearby. Say: Moses went up ona mountaintop so he could hear God clearly. The Bible says Mosesheard God speak directly to him out loud. God speaks to us, too,but usually in different ways, and especially through the Bible. Let’sread together.Read through the activity together with the class. Encourage volunteer readersto participate, too. Pause after each section, and look up the Bible verse or verseslisted there. Then have the children spread out across the room so no one is touchinganyone else. Have children take a moment to pray silently about a specific need,problem, or desire they have. Then ask: Why is it important that we listen to God? (Because he tells us the right thingsto do; because he’s important; because he’s always with us.) What is one way we can listen to God? (We can pray; we can listen to whatGod says in the Bible.)Say: God wants us to know him, so it’s important that we learn how to listento him. The more we know about God, the more we imitate God, so other peoplecan get to know him, too.Close in prayer, thanking God for listening to our prayers. Ask God to help us tolisten to him more, day by day.114 Hands-On Bible Curriculum—Grades 1 & 2
God Speaks to Mosesn Magnetic AttractionSUPPLIES: Bible, sweet treat such as mini marshmallows or gumdropsDivide the class into three groups. Give each group twomagnetic marbles. Have children explore what is uniqueabout these marbles (that they are magnetic; that they sticktogether). Have children experiment how far apart they canput the marbles and still have the marbles pull together.Invite the students to roll one marble past the other and see how close the marbleshave to get to pull together.Say: When we praise God, we are growing closer to him. We pull closer toGod, and he pulls closer to us.Now have the whole class come together and pool their marbles. Designate one marble to represent God. The other marbles represent children in the class. Roll all of the“child marbles” toward the “God marble” until all are connected. Ask: What did the child marbles do when they got close to the God marble?(They stuck together; they pulled closer together.) What do you think God wants us to do? (Stick together; come closer to him.)Say: God wants us to know him! The more we know God, the closer weget to him. Listen to what our Bible Verse for today says about getting toknow God. This comes from Psalm 34:8a: “Taste and see that the Lordis good.”Ask: What do you think God is like? (God is probably nice; God is good.) How can we get to know God by finding out what he is like? (We can talkto people about God; we can come to church.)Return the magnetic marbles to the Learning Lab. Then hand out a sweet treat, suchas a mini marshmallow or a gumdrop, to each child. As each child receives his or hertreat, have the child suggest one word that describes what he or she thinks God mightbe like. Answers might include “big,” “strong,” “loving,” “good,” or “sweet.”Say: Just as the marbles drew closer together when we moved themtogether, we draw closer to God when we find out what he is like. Our littlesnack can remind us that God is good! And that means we will want to comeback and learn more and more about God.See p e 5.agWarningThis product contains magnets.Swallowed magnets can attracteach other through opposingintestine walls, causing seriousinfection and death.

(I learned that God is good;I learned that I can be like God; I learned that God wants me to getto know him.)Say: We’re sitting in a friendship circle. Think about yourbest friend. Each of us will tell what we like most about our best friend. Thething I like most about my best friend is Complete the sentence. For example,Hands-On Bible Curriculum—Grades 1 & 2 115
Lesson 10you might say that what you like most about your best friend is that he or she is verykind. When you’ve completed the sentence, have the child on your left complete thesentence. Go around the circle, and let every child share.Help first- and second-gradersunderstand that they can get toknow God without seeing himbecause they have faith that he isreal. Remind them to praise andthank God as often as they ask forthings in prayer.Say: God wants us to know him as well as weknow our best friends. In fact, the Bible calls us God’sfriends. Listen to what Jesus says. Read John 15:15 fromthe Hands-On Bible or another easy-to-understand version.Ask: How does it make you feel to know that Jesusconsiders you a friend? (Good; special; like Jesus caresabout me.) What do good friends do to show that they’re friends? (Theyplay together; they laugh; they do nice things for each other; they talk on thephone.) What can we do to show that we’re friends with Jesus? (We cando things that make Jesus happy; we can love Jesus; we can go to church; wecan pray to God.)Say: Those are great ideas. When we believe in Jesus, he becomesour best friend here on earth and our forever friend in heaven. Let’spray to God, our heavenly Father, and thank him for wanting to befriends with us.Pray: Dear God, thank you for sending us Jesus to be our foreverfriend. Help us get to know you better. You are so good! Thank youfor giving us the Bible to teach us about you and your Son, Jesus. InJesus’ name we pray, amen.Growing closer to Jesus extendsbeyond the classroom.Photocopy the “Growing Together” handout (at the endof this lesson) for this week, and send it home with yourchildren.

Consistent with Moses 1, two Jewish texts from the Second Temple period also recount how Moses received the stories of the Creation and the Fall in vision.
