These are the discussions and activities that I have used when teaching Sunday school lessons of Joshua crossing the Jordan to my 12-14 year olds. They enjoy creating a memorial for the congregation and telling the significance of it–how God provides for us.
Sunday School Lessons: “Joshua crossing the Jordan”
Discussion:
Ask the students what they are blessed with.
Bible Reading:
Have the students take turns reading the story of Joshua leading the armies across the Jordan from Joshua 3-4.
Activity:
Take the students outside. Have them find 12 good size rocks. Then have them find a place somewhere outside the church to put the rocks. Together make a memorial with the 12 rocks. Let the student choose how they want to let the congregation know that the memorial is there and what it is about. They can make a sign to place by the memorial, make flyers for the congregation, or talk about it in the next church service.
Activity:
Have the students write down at least five blessings they have in their lives.
Discussion:
Talk about how to remember God’s blessings.
