Here is one of the [tag]children’s Sunday school activities[/tag] I do with older [tag]Sunday school[/tag] students. I use it when studying the Ten Commandments. It is a memorial to the journey the Hebrews made in the desert.
Sunday School Activities for “Moses and the Ten Commandments”
Before Moses got the [tag]Ten Commandments[/tag] from God, the Hebrews had to walk in the desert a very long time, and it was hot. But God took care of them.
This activity is a memorial to that journey. If we put it at home somewhere where we can see it, let it serve to remind us that God takes care of us in tough times also.
Give each student a baby food jar with lid and a spoon. Put the different colored sand bags down on the table where they can share.
Show them how to spoon in different colors to make layers.
Explain:
– brown sand represents the dry ground
– green sand represents what little vegetation they could find in the desert
– blue sand symbolizes the sky and how it rarely rained
– yellow sand symbolizes the sun
– red sand symbolizes how God fed them in the desert when there wasn’t any food
– white sand symbolizes God Himself and how he always watches over us
Note: For sand projects, it pays to put newspaper down under the work table.
