Engage your kinesthetic learners with this interactive 3+ hour Bible study lesson on the Tower of Babel! Written for older students in grades 4-8, this lesson uses hands-on activities, cooperative projects, and creative exploration to help students understand a key biblical truth: While the people of Babel made a vain attempt to reach UP to God, Jesus came DOWN to us—because He is the ONLY Way to the Father. ❤️
Lesson Highlights:
❇️Key Word Vocabulary: Students will learn the various meanings of the term "babbling".
❇️Color-Coding Genesis 11:1-9 – This color-coding activity helps students identify and underline repeated words and key phrases such as “Come, let us”.
❇️Building Problems Activity – Students experience communication barriers firsthand with one of two cooperative, no-talking challenges:
✔️Build a Chicken
✔️Build a Tower
By participating in cooperative projects without being able to speak, students experience the challenge of a communication barrier to understand how multiple languages would have slowed the progress of the Tower of Babel. [Suggestions for modifying these projects are included in the lesson.]
✝️ What Have I Learned about Jesus Today?
At the end of this lesson (and every lesson in this series), we invite students to ponder the thought-provoking question: "What have you learned about JESUS today?" In this lesson, students learn that while we often vainly attempt to get UP to God through human effort, it is only because Jesus came DOWN to us that we can make our way to the Father. Jesus is THE WAY and the only way to God.
