Adam and Eve and the Fall

ADAM AND EVE AND THE FALL

 

Objectives:

1.   Children should be identify Adam and Eve, the Holy Forefathers.

2.   Children should be able to tell the story of the Fall.

3.   Children should identify Satan, the snake.

 

Possible Lesson Plan:

1. Open with prayer.

 

2. Scripture Reference: Genesis 3.

           

3. Learning Game: Skit – Have the students each take a role in the story: Adam, Eve, Satan, God. The rest can be animals. Have them re-enact the story as they remember it after reading it with you.

 

4. Discussion: Why did God create people? Why did Adam and Eve sin? Why did God let them? Do we ever disobey our parents? God? Why is it so easy to disobey when we know better? Why do we choose to disobey? What happens when we disobey? What excuses did Adam and Eve make for disobeying God? What excuses do we make?

 

5. Make Egg People: Take 2 L’eggs eggs for each student. These will be Adam and Eve. Give each student 2 hunks of modeling clay for bases. For each, remove the short, fat end of the egg and discard. Press the rounded end of the larger half into the base. Decorate the egg as a face with eyes, nose, mouth, and ears made of felt, beads, paper, etc. Fill eggs with potting soil. Add a scattering of grass seed on the top. Water. Place in sunlight and keep watered and the grass will sprout and become the hair!

Alternate craft idea: 

1. Alternate Craft idea: Tree and Serpent. Cut out trunk from brown construction paper and either use real fall leaves or cut leaves from the patterns or use leaf stickers. Have children glue to blue construction paper and add cotton ball clouds and Easter grass at the bottom. Add lifesaver fruit and a gummy worm serpent. Finally place Adam and Eve figures below the tree. You can either have each child draw a man and a woman OR use the figures from the icon above, enlarge, print, cut out, and glue on.

 

6. Close with prayer.
