Moses' Life

This lesson contains highlights in the Life of Moses and is condensed since we are told so much about him. Each event is basically a paragraph with the general information. His information is found in Exodus and Numbers.

The following posters and worksheets are included in the lesson and application pack.

The lesson pack includes these posters and the cut and glue worksheet for the genealogy of Moses.



The 10 Plagues are not discussed in depth. They are talked about in general with the other events that happened to Moses at that time. These posters can be used to show each plague. There is a list with and without graphics, a blank worksheet to write each plague and the last one to connect the number with the correct plague.

This last set of worksheets review his life. This is a cut and glue the sequence timeline in the correct order. There is a completed teacher's worksheet with the basic event listed. This can also be printed for the students if the students are keeping a notebook.

Thank you to Boo AKA Cindy Boothe for permission to share this photo and idea for Moses and water from the rock. She used Betty Luken Bible felts for the background for this diorama and a tabletop fountain. They used a dowel rod/stick to let the children pretend to be Moses 'striking' the rock.

Some events are not discussed such as the gold calf or Joshua since they are in Aaron's and Joshua's lessons. The 10 Plagues and the 10 Commandments are mentioned but are not discussed in-depth. These require their own lesson.
