Noah, Abraham and Isaac Overview

This is lesson three in a 13-week series that I used in my class. I wanted one quarter to introduce the Old Testament with a basic timeline of the people and events. The students can learn what happened in the Old Testament and how those events lead to Jesus.
These lessons are a combination of the Life Overview Series and other lessons. They have been updated and tweaked since I taught these. I will show you what I used to blend several posts into 13 lessons. It was basically pick and choose and you can change any to fit your needs or wants. For instance, I always teach Esther so that is one of the lessons. And I picked Daniel as the last lesson. Those can be substituted if you prefer another.

 

This lesson teaches Noah and Abraham with Isaac, so it is not in-depth. The lessons blend and tell the Big Picture. Keep in mind these lessons are slightly longer with very different application reviews.

 These are the Information Anchor Charts I used and there are some visuals included also.

This Descendants of Abraham is a simple code activity worksheet. This will help you discuss the scriptures and phrases that God told Abraham about his descendants. They love these codes!

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 its 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.
