Finding Baby Moses - FREE Sunday School Game

The bible story of Moses is one that shows the courage, determination and love of one mother to save her son. While she chose to break the law and not turn him over to the Pharaoh's cruel law, she ultimately not only saved her own son, but the entire Israelite nation!

God was with Jochebed as she made the decision to hide him in a basket in the Nile River. Although she didn't know that her little baby boy would grow up to part the Red Sea and lead the Israelites to the Promised Land, she did know she loved him and took a chance to save his life.

If only we would take a chance and step out for God!

How would our life change if we only took that first step to trusting God whole heartedly!

Before explaining the game, take time to listen to the remarkable song by Brit Nicole to get you into the chance-taking mood.

You can also get the FREE bible story of Moses to teach your kids.
 

Finding Baby Moses Sunday School Game

The only thing you'll need to play this game is a paper picture of a basket and some tape.

You can either print out the picture of Moses' basket (above) or draw one yourself. It doesn't have to look pretty. Kids don't mind.

I drew a picture of a basket about 4 inches long and 3 inches tall. I colored a blue blanket on top and cut it out.

I simply told the kids what it was and they accepted the poor looking basket as what it was :)

To play the game:

Have the kids turn to one wall or put their head down on a table and close or hide their eyes. Use a piece of tape on the paper basket to hide the paper basket under chairs or tables, along walls, behind curtains, or anywhere else you can find.

Once hidden, let kids find baby Moses.

Whoever finds the basket gets to hide it next.

If hidden too hard, you can give clues or play 'hot' or 'cold' until they find it. You'll be surprised at how much they love this game - I was.

Have fun and enjoy teaching about Moses!
