Free Baby Moses Bible Lesson for Preschoolers

Oct 26, 2009

Sunday School teachers can use this free Sunday School lesson baby Moses to teach preschool aged students about Moses' humble beginning and God's protection.

This lesson teachers the much loved baby-in-a-basket story of how Moses escaped death as an infant thanks to his loving mother and protective heavenly Father. Sunday School teachers may wish to read the entire story of Moses babyhood aloud from a children's Bible or play a recording of the story while the children are coloring.

Begin the Baby Moses Lesson with a Family Activity

Sunday School teachers can set up a “Make a Family” activity center by providing paper, crayons, glue sticks, and already-cut-out magazine pictures of babies, children, and families. Children working at the center may want to draw pictures of their own families or they could create a simple collage using the provided pictures.

Read the Baby Moses Story to the Sunday School Class

Sunday School teachers can tell the children that today’s Bible story is about a baby named Moses. Teachers may read the story directly from a preschooler-appropriate children’s picture Bible or tell the story in their own words. Teachers may choose to print out coloring pages of baby Moses in order to illustrate the story.

Continue the Baby Moses Sunday School Lesson with a Mural, Basket, or Acting Activity

Sunday School teachers may choose to make a simple story mural. Teachers can tape a large piece of blank newsprint or other large paper to the wall at a height that can be easily reached by the children, or simply put large pieces of paper on the table. Teachers should then divide the paper into four sections and label each as follows:

Teachers should explain the four sections of the mural and have children work in four groups to draw a picture (with crayons) to go with each part of the story. When they are finished, Sunday School teachers can tell the story with the children, using the pictures as a guide.

Teachers can help the class make play dough baskets. Using play dough, teachers can show the children how to roll dough into long snakes and coil the snakes into baskets.

Sunday School teachers may choose to have wiggly students act out the story of baby Moses. Children can be dressed in long scraps of fabric draped over their bodies and heads with a long fabric strip for a belt.

Sunday School teachers can ask children to volunteer to play Moses’ mother or father, Moses’ big sister, and the king’s daughter. A baby doll may be used to play Moses, and any basket can be his bed. Act out the following scenes in the story:

Conclude the Baby Moses Sunday School Lesson with a Reflection and Prayer

Sunday school teachers should tell the children that God is their heavenly father and He loves them and cares for them every day. Teachers should assure the children that God carefully watches over and protects them the same way He watched over Moses as he drifted down the river.

Sunday School teachers should remember that the theme of the lesson is “God protected baby Moses, and He protects me, too,” and frequently remind the children how God takes care of them by giving them families who love them and take good care of them. Close by sharing a prayer together; thanking God for His protection and love.
