Here are some fun idea's for activities to do along with the study of Rebekah. As everyone knows - when kids have hands on activities to do it makes it more fun and memorable.
Read in your Bible:
Genesis 12:4, 5
Genesis 24: 1-58, 67
First we read about Abraham's servant's prayer to God asking for a wife for Isaac. We learned about how God answered this prayer with Rebekah - a woman who was willing to get water for the servent and all his camels - 10 in all. We learned about how Rebekah wanted to make God happy and went back to Cannan to marry Isaac.
Then we did lots of fun activities to reinforce these concepts:
All the chickadees made camel masks. Here are free camel masks - and other camel activities to try if you want to do more. After we all made masks, we did a skit - we had Abraham's servant, Rebekah, and 4 camels. The kids had fun being the camels and drinking all the water.
Next we learned all about camel's. We learned how they store fat in their humps. How long they can go without water. And how their feet are specially shaped to walk in the sand. We talked about how they can drink 35 gallons of water each - in 10 minutes! Talk about a lot of buckets of water to haul for Rebekah!
Our last activity was hauling water. We pretended our playhouse was a deep well where Rebekah would have had to go to haul water. We filled up a bucket with 2 gallons of water to see what a hard worker Rebekah was and how hard it was to lift all that water and then take it to the camels.
