View and print the attached PDF of the lesson
Also attached to this post is a set of quiz questions about Abraham and Sarah's story for use in the second game of the lesson (Bible Wheel of Fortune).
Summary:
- Scripture: Genesis 18:1-15 (Note: the PDF has the wrong scripture citation)
- Sarah laughs at God's promise that she will bear a son in her old age.
Activities: Students play two fun games to explore the story of Sarah's laughter upon hearing the "visitors" tell her husband that she will bear a son in her old age: "Laugh Leader Sarah" and Bible Wheel of Fortune (a unit review game).
Note: Only questions 43-68 on the attached "game questions" for the Bible Wheel of Fortune game are about Abraham. The others review stories which the lesson writer's church had previously taught.
Additional Suggestions:
- The first game in this lesson - "Laugh Leader Sarah - is a good opener for ANY lesson about Sarah's Laughter.
- The second game in this lesson - Bible Wheel of Fortune - is a review game that presumes knowledge of the story which may only be present after students have visited other workshops in this rotation. (The game questions attached to this lesson also has questions related to other Genesis stories, including Creation, Cain and Abel, and Noah).
