Our story this week was about how Moses was chosen by God to help free the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. One of our activities was to make bricks like the slaves did, as described in chapter 5 of Exodus. Younger grades made the bricks from cardboard boxes and experienced some of the same difficulties and challenges as the Israelite slaves. Older grades made tiny bricks from PlayDoh and then tried to make a wall with them! Grades 3-5 also talked about the 10 plagues God sent to try and persuade the Pharaoh to let His people go, and we looked up each plague up in the book of Exodus to get more practice finding books, chapters and verses in our Bibles.
