Tower of Babel

This Old Testament study is designed for older students with some worksheets and printables that correspond for younger students so they can be used in classes with several ages together or used specifically for the lesson. Most of these lessons have project printables for younger students that I have been wanting to add for some time.

If you say this is a game, they will love it! This is super simple. Print, cut the blocks (just cut them straight across the edges). Let the students glue a block for every correct answer. The questions can be any Bible facts or the lesson, or a review of what you have been studying.

The 3-D scene is super easy to prepare and fun for the kids and can be used as a visual, too! Color and black & white are both included.

To create the 3-D scene,

1. Print on paper or cardstock, although cardstock works better.

2. Fold the paper in half.

3. Cut on black dotted lines on each side of the tower. Cut on black dotted line to cut the people away from the scene.

4. Fold bottom of scene forward on gray solid line. Fold forward on top line. Fold backward on the inside line.

5. Cut the people on the solid lines and fold on the dotted lines. βοήθεια? is Greek for help.

Print and cut out the Accordion. Fold like an accordion. Start at the bottom and unroll for the students to ‘build’ a tower.

To make the Flip Book, cut on the dotted line to separate the top from bottom. Cut the bottom pictures out on solid line. Layer in order and staple as shown on the gray rectangle. Fold the Foldable Book in half lengthwise, then fold in page 3, then fold the front cover on the line. The Spinner and Foldable Book are in color and black & white. The Flip Book and Spinner work best if printed on cardstock or heavier paper.

The first worksheet was designed for those asking for cut & glue. It is an easy scripture to cut out the words and glue them in order. The students will also write out the verse. This was a suggestion from a teacher. There is a number code and alphabet code worksheet. The picture review has been updated. The Write it out! has three pictures and the students will write about each picture. The thought question is intended as an opening for the lesson but can be used afterwards to discuss different languages and what problems were caused by not understanding each other.

Do not boast about tomorrow! You do not know what the day will bring. Proverbs 27:1 (paraphrased)

These printables can be used for this lesson and any other appropriate lesson and were kept plain intentionally for this purpose. A key verse was chosen to use for discussion, memory work, and copy work. Students can color or paint the designs on the banner, door hanger and bookmark. Stickers can be added. String or ribbon can be added to the banner to hang and on the bookmark.

All of the worksheets have the teacher's answer sheets included and most are in black & white.
