  • Foldable Ark Pattern, one copy per child plus extras
  • Crayons, markers, or colored pencils
  • Tape 
  • Bibles or the Superbook Bible App

Hand out a Foldable Ark Pattern to each child, along with crayons, markers, or colored pencils. Have children put their names on their arks, color them, then follow the instructions on the sheet to assemble them. As children work, lead them in a discussion with the following questions: 

  • Do you have a favorite promise in the Bible, and can you share it with us?
  • Have you ever trusted a promise God gave in the Bible, and can you share what it was?
  • How can the story of Noah and the ark help you have peace when you are frightened? 
  • How is Jesus like the ark to us?

Conclusion: Noah, his family, and the animals were safe in the ark. God sealed them inside and preserved or saved them from harm. We can trust God to keep His promise of salvation to us when we have faith in His Son, Jesus! Let your ark be a reminder to you that God loved Noah so much that He designed an ark to save him. God loves us so much that He sent His Son to Earth to die for us, to forgive our sins, and save us!
