Flashbacks of Bullwinkle & Rocky the Squirrel
Lesson Snapshot
BOTTOM LINE:
God wants us to follow the Bible.
OBJECTIVE:
Kids will learn that we should listen and obey God’s Word.
KEY PASSAGE:
Numbers 22:21-38, Balaam’s Donkey
MEMORY VERSE:
“The grass dries up. The flowers fall to the ground. But what our God says will stand forever.” Isaiah 40:8 (NIrV)
SUMMARY:
It might get lonely for a cowboy in the Old West, just him and his horse. He might even start talking to his horse. While Balaam traveled by donkey, the donkey started talking to him. And what he said showed Balaam that he had been disobedient and gone his own way.
Craft
Have the kids make talking donkey puppets using brown paper bags and brown construction paper. Draw, cut out, and color the top half of the head of the donkey with the construction paper, and glue it to the bottom of the paper bag to make the puppet.
