Life of Moses: Map It! File Folder

We will be using this file folder Life of Moses: Map It! each week for the entire Moses quarter. The map is not meant to be to scale, and basically I only added the places that will be in our lessons for Moses.

Moses: Water From a Rock & Victory over Amalekites

Today's lesson is Moses gets water from the rock. The more I looked at this lesson, the water from a rock is one paragraph with a huge impact! I concentrated more on the victory over the Amalekites. Which is interesting. There are so many different ways to go with the victory. God takes care of Moses and the Israelites, his friends watch over him and help Moses when he needs it, they fight the battle together... Anyway, there is so much we can learn from this one!

Moses: The Bronze Snake

Today's lesson is Moses and the Bronze Serpent. I have a MOSES booklet that I used as a review for Moses since this is the last lesson for Moses. We also made the bronze serpent to go with the lesson.

Moses: Aaron's Gold Calf

 Today's lesson is Aaron's Gold Calf. God told the people they were not allowed to have idols. Today's project is a Play Doh gold calf that I made before class for each student, then we smashed them during the lesson and talked about things we could worship as idols today, and God still says "NO!"

Moses: Burning Bush

Today's lesson is Moses and the Burning Bush. You can see a more condensed version here.

The above link also has the directions for the burning bush visual you see in the next 2 photos below. I set tables up and I am adding a visual for Moses each week. And, if you can find my leprosy visual and take home at Michaels, the kids LOVED it!

Moses: Birth - Marriage

 Today's lesson starts our Moses series! I will set up a table/tables and add a visual each week so the class can see the life of Moses all in order, and the kids that miss a class will still be able to see what we learned. And it will help with reviewing his life in order. Today we are starting a map and they will have a cut and glue workbook for this quarter. Today's take-home is a slider that has the birth of Moses in order that I put together before class and we will use it during the lesson.

Moses: Manna & Quail to Eat!

We are studying Moses and today we will discuss God continuing to take care of the Israelites after they leave Egypt. I set up an area with felt for the ground and tossed oyster crackers on it for the kids to pick up. The printable project for today is a discussion starter and can be used for just about any lesson.

Moses: 10 Plagues Part 1 of 3

We continue with Moses and start the 10 plagues! The 10 plagues lesson was my daughter's favorite lesson she remembers me teaching as she was growing up! Some of the visuals I have used for years! I don't mind putting money into visuals, since they last for so long and they really make a huge impact for the kids! There is a small one-page booklet for the take-home. There are extra worksheets to review the plagues also.

What is a File Folder Game?

Please check back often! I was given permission to copy and share a lot of lapbook / file folder games by someone who wants to remain anonymous. I have added more lesson files because I love lapbooks! These will be added every Wednesday in 2026, and on Mondays in 2027. They will be added randomly in 2024 and 2025. I have also created a lot of file folder games (mostly for preschool) that teach colors, shapes, etc. that can be used with Bible lessons, and these will be added the next couple of years. These are especially fun keep handy to use for early arrivers, but there are so many uses for these!
