Sunday School Sunday - God to the rescue

Today's activity comes from the story of "God to the rescue" from the Jesus Storybook Bible.

In this story, God speaks to Moses through a burning bush!

So, we're going to make that burning bush today!

First, we'll need a brown paper bag.

Next, draw flames to a fire on the front.

Now, let the kids color the fire red, orange, and yellow!

Next, cut out the fire (making sure not to cut the bottom of the bag while doing it).

Write something for the kids to remember about the story like, 

"God speaks to Moses" or "The Burning Bush".

. . .

I did this activity with an inner-city group of kids, and when they were finished making their burning bush craft, we turned out the lights except for a lamp on a table. 

We would bring each person's burning bush to the lamp, holding it over the lamp, 

and shake it like it was on fire. 

The kids FREAKED! The got so excited every. single. time. we did it!
