While many like to start the biblical narrative from Adam or Noah, I have a particular love for the old man Abram, the father of faith. This introduction lesson was difficult to write games for but here a few that may be suitable for your group.
Six stand – The idea behind this game is following instructions just as Abram did, even when they don’t make sense. You’ll need at least one dice for this game, more if you have a large group. The children sit in a circle and take turns rolling the die, the aim of the game is to roll the numbers 2-6 in order. when an individual rolls a 2 or 3 they kneel, a 4 or 5 has one foot flat on the floor, the other leg kneeling, and a number 6 lets the child stand. If you roll a 1 you return to a sitting position. a 4 or 5 is useless if a 2 or 3 wasn’t already rolled, equally a 6 is useless unless you have rolled a successful 4 or 5.
Blind directions – One child is blindfolded and whispered some instructions, for example, take 3 steps, turn any direction and repeat. The other children don’t know the instructions and need to stand around the space not moving. the first person reached by the blindfolded participant swaps places and is given new instructions. Tor older kids add in star jumps, crawling, and longer strings of directions, eg, 6 steps, turn right, crawl for 5 seconds, turn left, 3 start jumps, walk backwards 2 steps, turn right, repeat.
| The story of Abram is the root of not only our faith, but many others around the world. The beginning passage however is quite simple, it has a great promise made only in words, without concrete objects or analogies. This craft brings our attention back to the character God chose. |  |
| For the wonderful Carol who requested this on facebook. This is my little nativity scene. It took me about half an hour to make up from scratch and while it’s not robust enough to store from one year to the next it is rather darling. |

The worksheet for Abram is an introduction to the story, introducing the concept and characters rather than drawing out deep meaning. It looks at the key verse of the passage and then has a little game the children can play in pairs. The most important part of the sheet comes first, with a discussion question about the motivation of Abram to follow God’s instructions. If you have older children then try asking extra questions about how Abram discerned who was leading him, and how his family may have reacted.
To complete the Abram worksheet you will need something to write with, perhaps a bible (the sheet uses NIV translation), and some dice and counters for the children.
