This lesson teaches about Joshua. The lesson continues to explain
the Big Picture. I discussed the land division for the 12 Tribes as part of the
Old Testament overview. The main application though is Joshua’s statement “As
for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” So we did a puzzle and worksheet
to see how to apply that to our house/life. Keep in mind these lessons are
slightly longer with very different application reviews.
The (left) worksheet is a discussion starter to talk about serving the Lord. I printed the puzzle on cardstock and put the pieces in sandwich bags. It reinforces the thought about serving Jesus. These are black & white only.
There are a lot of posters with the visuals for this lesson.
I also used this Bible Timeline File Folder Game. I made the pictures into stickers (which they love!) and the students added to it each week. Even though we studied Jesus and Acts after this quarter, rather than removing any pictures, I printed those pictures already on the page along with a couple that we wouldn't have as it's own lesson.
Click here if you want to print the one I used with some of the pictures already in place. This includes the completed teacher's visual also.
The original file has a teacher's visual completed. and a student file folder without any pictures on the timeline. All pictures will need to be cut and glued or made into stickers to use.

The file includes visuals for Joshua 1-6:
Rahab, The Jordan Crossing and The Battle of Jericho.
There are 35 visuals, so all are not shown.
