https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4e/ef/dd/4eefddf2e2f013a7b0d4b545ef034cbc.jpg

Game/activity:

1. Use pillows or legos to build “Jericho’s city walls” and use the horns you made to march around the walls and knock them down. Ask children these questions…

1. Who was the man in our Bible story?

2. What was Joshua’s army supposed to do?

3. What was the army supposed to blow while marching?

4. Do you think Joshua’s army felt silly marching and blowing their horns?

2. Play a “which is stronger” game with your kiddos. Call out a variety of animals, two at a time and have them choose which is stronger. (ex; elephant or hippo/ grizzly bear or tiger). Remind your kiddos that all these animals are strong in their own way. This week’s lesson is how God gives extraordinary strength. That means God helps us do things we would never be able to do without God’s help.
