Here are some discussion topics to consider when creating your 6-8 year olds Sunday school curriculum. Creation and why God created us, the animals and the world will generate thoughtful and meaningful discussions with your students.
Bible Story:
Read the story of creation in basic language that this age can understand. There are several picture versions in children’s Bibles that are appropriate but not necessary. Paraphrasing a version of the Bible you feel comfortable with is fine.
Discussion: about the reason God made us
Why did God want to make the world, animals and people? What would it be like if God never made animals? What would the world be like if we weren’t made?
Activity:
Give each student a piece of paper divided into six sections. Have students draw the sequence of creation in order. Each picture should be and example of what God created that day. In one box for example, a sun and moon.
Discussion: about God’s timing
A week is 7 days long, what did God do on the seventh day? Why did he need to rest? Is it important for us to rest?
Activity:
Make a large lower case t on a piece of paper or posterboard. On one side of the t write resting, and on the other side, write not resting. Ask the students to come up with examples of both. For example:
Resting Not resting
Reading running
Doing a puzzle going to a party
