We meet Abraham in Genesis because he was special to God. God liked his faith and promised that he would be the father of many generations to the whole nation of Israel! Abraham’s sons and grandsons were the beginnings of Israel, and they have special chapters in the Book of Genesis. Let’s learn their names by jumping rope in this fun Bible game!
“Father Abraham & Sons Jump Rope Rhyme” Bible Game
Application: Being able to name the four generations of Father Abraham, which take up the book of Genesis and know the most important stories about them.
Materials needed: Jump ropes, enough for each student, or they can take turns if you have more kids than ropes.
Object: To skip all the way through the rhymes without missing either the words or a skip.
Instructions:
Have children start out skipping rope with the slower big-jump, small-jump steps. Either you or one child can learn this and skip to it:
A-braham and Sarah have I”¦saac.
I-saac weds Rebek”¦.ah!
Rebekah has E-sau and Ja”¦cob!
Jacob mar-ries Ra”¦chel!
Rachel fi-nally has Jo”¦seph!
And this is the line from A-bra-ham!
Double time: One skip for each name
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph!
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph!
Many great stories are written about these men and their wives. They’re all found in Genesis, the first book in the Bible! What a fun way to learn their names with this creative Bible game!
