Lesson Structure and Overview:
★ Lesson 1 – Who Are the People of God?
Pupils explore a Bible timeline and focus on Noah’s story. They learn how Christians believe God guided Noah and what this reveals about faith and obedience. Pupils use a ‘New Discoveries about Noah’ worksheet to note what they learned from the full Bible account.
★ Lesson 2 – Understanding Feelings in the Story of Noah
This lesson focuses on how Noah might have felt during key moments. Children take part in a role-play or written hot seating task to imagine Noah’s emotions and develop empathy through discussion.
★ Lesson 3 – God’s Covenant with Noah
Pupils learn about the meaning of ‘covenant’ and explore the promise God made after the flood using the symbol of a rainbow. They create posters showing how Christians might care for the world today.
★ Lesson 4 – Christian Promises and Modern Covenants
This lesson links the concept of a covenant to Christian wedding promises. Pupils watch a short clip of a wedding ceremony, explore simplified vows, and write their own Christian promises to add to a class display.
★ Lesson 5 – The Call of Abram
Children hear how God made a promise to Abram and what Christians believe about trust and faith. Pupils reflect on Abram’s feelings and complete a thought bubble activity imagining his thoughts when called by God.
★ Lesson 6 – What Does It Mean to Live a Life of Faith?
The final lesson reviews the stories of Noah, Abram and others. Pupils create a ‘Faith Strength’ poster in small groups, showing how Bible characters demonstrated trust in God and how these examples can inspire Christians today.
