Lesson Plan

1Opening (3 min)

Welcome to our final BibleMouse lesson this week! Let's remember what we've learned about God's wonderful world. Yesterday we talked about how God gives good gifts to Adam and Eve - and to us too!

💭 Review Question: Can you remember some of the good gifts God gave to Adam and Eve?
2Teaching (5 min)

This week we learned so many wonderful things! God made a beautiful garden. He made all the animals, and Adam got to name each one. God gave Adam and Eve everything they needed. And do you know what God said when He looked at everything He made? He said it was VERY GOOD! Let's read what the Bible says: 'God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good' (Genesis 1:31, WEB).

📌 Key Talking Points:
  • God made a perfect world with no sadness or hurt
  • Everything God makes is good because God is good
  • Adam and Eve were happy because they lived in God's good world
💬 Discussion Questions:
  • What are some good things God made?
  • How do you think Adam and Eve felt living in God's perfect world?

🙏 Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for making everything so good and beautiful. Thank You for loving Adam and Eve, and thank You for loving me too. Amen.

Teaching Notes

📚 Background:

This review lesson helps solidify the concept that God's original creation was perfect and good. At this age, children need concrete examples of 'good' things they can see and touch. The fall hasn't been introduced yet, so focus on the goodness of God's creation.

💡 Teaching Tips:
  • Use lots of 'good' and 'very good' language throughout the lesson
  • Let your child touch and manipulate the materials - this helps PK3 learners process information
  • If your child struggles with the concept, just focus on naming things God made
🤔 Common Struggles:

Some children may ask why bad things happen if God made everything good - simply say we'll learn more about that later, but focus on God's goodness today

👀 Signs of Understanding:

Child can name at least 2-3 things God made and understands that God called His creation 'good'

Extension Activities

  • Take a nature walk and point out good things God made outside
  • Look through the BibleMouse Printables Library for creation coloring pages to reinforce the lesson
  • Sing creation songs from the BibleMouse Song Collection while looking at your garden creation
