God decided on the fourth day to create lights for the sky. He called the waters “seas,” and the dry land “earth.” He placed plants all over the land – flowers, trees, and grass. The third day, God gathered the waters together and made the dry land appear. He called the place above the waters “heaven.” Day Three: On the second day, God made the earth and the bright, blue sky. That was the first day of God’s creation. From now on, when it’s dark, it will be ‘night’ and when it’s light, it will be ‘day’.” Day and night passed, and then it was morning again. Day One:įirst, He said, “Let there be light!” And just like that, there was light in the darkness. In the beginning, there was nothing but darkness: no earth, no sky, no sea, and no animals. These are the things God made on each of those six days. Intro:ĭid you know that God created the whole world in six days? He did! This is the story that is in Genesis chapter 1 of our Bible. Feel free to read it out loud with your child. Here’s a short rendition of the creation story for kids. The creation story is found in Chapters 1 and 2 of Genesis, in the Holy Bible. Need to tell the story of creation in words that children can understand? Specifically, small children in preschool or kindergarten. The team with the most points wins.Needing a quick educational lesson to go along with the creation story for kids? This short numbers and counting to ten lesson is perfect for your homeschool or classroom. Whether a child earns a point for their team depends on whether they draw something correct from the designated day of creation and how well they portray it.

Give more time to groups that lack confidence or have a more tenuous understanding. Set a time limit for drawing, depending on the skill level of your group: for example, to make the game really challenging give kids just 15 seconds to draw. This game also help test their creative side, as if you say 'Two,' the second day of creation, the child must somehow think of a way to represent the heavens accurately. If you say, 'Six,' the child must draw some sort of land animal or person. For example, if you say, 'Three,' then the child has to draw something that represents dry land, the seas or vegetation. Based on that number the child must draw something that God created on that day. Each number represents a different day of creation from Genesis. Each time a child comes up to the board, say a number to them from one to six. Have kids from each team take turns coming up to the board. This game helps kids remember what God created on each distinct day of creation.
