Samuel's Life

This overview lesson about Samuel’s life can be done in one session. The events briefly discussed are his parents, God speaks to him, the Ark of the Covenant, Samuel the judge and prophet, Samuel anointing Saul and David as kings.

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

This is a Samuel's Life Sequencing Timeline. There is a completed one (right) for a teacher's visual, if you are keeping a notebook and just want it as a chart, or you do not like the cut and glue. If the students only put glue above the dotted line, they will have a lift-the-flap with the information under each photo.

This Samuel Fact Spinner/Wheel is also included to review some of the events in Samuel's life.
