This thread focuses on the story of Abraham's "near" sacrifice of Isaac.
Genesis 22
Post your lessons and ideas here.
There's not much posted in this forum because the "sacrifice of Isaac" is not a story that shows up in many Rotation Model scope and sequence lists (list of stories to teach). That said, the Writing Team did write a terrific set on this story! See the links below.
Note to our Supporting Members 
Here is a list of all the workshop lesson plans in the Writing Team's Abraham and Isaac: God Will Provide lesson set. Check it out!

Mold “witness stones” from Cloud Clay to explore ways in which Christians today are witnesses to encounters with God. Use the “Take Home Sheet” to explain the Bible story of “Abraham and Isaac: God Will Provide” to families.
Incorporate materials symbolizing segments of the Bible story “Abraham and Isaac: God Will Provide” into individual or groups weavings.
Children review the story in a fun speed-read quiz, then play two fun "run around" games that illustrate two key points in the story (points to ponder tucked in). The closing activity features a way to create an alternate version of the venerable "Father Abraham" movement song that helps retell the story.
This unique Bible Skills & Games workshop uses a lot of sand to help students understand how Abraham's faithful life gave rise to billions of faithful lives. This workshop also includes some math computations that invoke a little used multiple-intelligence for stirring and remembering our faith story. Especially good for older children.
Explore interactive Bible story software about this story, including a wonderful music video-reflection about the near-sacrifice, and prepare your students to receive two phone calls from God at the beginning and end of the lesson!
Focusing on God's gift of the Ram, students will assemble and bake traditional "lamb turnovers" known around the world by various names, such as knish, pierogi, and emapandas; then "Bake a Bible" turnover for a sweet finish.
Students will complete and then perform 2 creative scripts about how God provides for us, sends help, and strengthens us, and then close with a special dramatized prayer.
Children will watch a terrific animated DVD. They will learn the events of the bible story and discuss how the modern day storyline presented in the video is affected by the what the children learn and take away from the biblical story of Abraham & Isaac's near sacrifice.
Lots of ideas.... Drama Props, Movies, PowerPoint, Puppets, Software, Story Bibles, Story Books, and Storytelling Props to enhance the lessons in the rotation set.
