Spark Story Bible. Who went inside of the ark? (Noah’s family and animals) Direct older kids to find Genesis 6:21 on page 8 of the Spark Bible. How was there enough food for everyone to eat on the ark? (God told Noah what food to bring!) Do you think Noah’s family had everything they needed? Allow kids to respond. Noah’s family had everything they needed. God gives us what we need. Let’s act out a skit as if we were traveling with Noah today! Activate Faith (25 minutes) Welcome to the Ark! Set Up: • Place the paper, boxes, markers, scissors, and tape where kids can use them. • Write the word MENU on one side of a posterboard and ACTIVITIES on the other. • Set the fabric, hats, gloves, purses, sunglasses, suitcases, clipboards and megaphone where kids can choose among them. • Place the rest of the props near the stage. • Hang a bedsheet as a backdrop to designate a stage area. Place the chart stand toward the front on one side of the stage. • Make several copies of the skit script. Activity Instructions Before the skit: Today, when people take a trip on a big boat, we call it a cruise. The crew on the cruise ship makes sure everyone has what they need during the trip. We’re going to pretend that Noah’s story is happening today on a cruise ship. I wonder what that will be like. • Invite some kids to create the scenery and set the stage. What might you find on the deck of a cruise ship? How can you make a rainbow to use at the end of a skit? Invite kids to be in charge of displaying the rainbow toward the end of the skit. Where should each of the props be put on the stage? Assign one person to create a sign that says “5 months later.” Place that sign with the other props to be used in the skit. • Ask volunteers to play the parts of Junie the Cruise Director and Captain Noah (readers). Give each person a script. Read through the script, and ask if you have any questions. Choose what you want for a costume. Junie needs a clipboard and megaphone, while Noah needs a hat.

• • Recruit kids to play crew members, animals, and Noah’s family (nonreaders). The crew members follow directions and work on the cruise ship. The animals and Noah’s family will be the guests. Choose what you want to wear from the costume supplies. Ask a Shepherd to write the menu and list of ship activities with a marker on the posterboard as directed by the kids. Have the Shepherd ask kids, “What would the people and animals like to eat on a ship?” and “What things would people and animals do for fun on a ship?” Have the shepherd place the posterboard on the chart stand with the MENU side facing forward. Perform the skit: Gather the kids near the stage. Begin with Junie and Noah center stage, the crew along the back of the stage, and the rest of the actors to one side. Ask everyone else to sit in the audience. Welcome to Cypress Cruise Lines. Our next cruise is about to get under way. May I introduce to you your Cruise Director, Junie, and to Captain Noah. All aboard! Following the skit: Gather the kids to debrief the experience. Why did God tell Noah to build an ark? (to keep him and the animals safe during the flood) Direct older kids to read Genesis 7:6 and 13-14 on pages 8-9 of the Spark Bible. Encourage kids to mark the passage with a Makes Me Wonder, Makes Me Want To or I Don’t Get It Spark Bible Sticker, using a pencil to write their response in the margin. How long did Noah stay on the ark? (one year) Point to the picture on page 25 of the Spark Story Bible. What did God put in the sky as a reminder he would never flood the whole earth again? (a rainbow) Would you like to take a long trip on a boat full of animals? Allow kids to answer. Even though the trip was long, God protected Noah’s family and the animals. He kept them safe and made sure they brought enough food. God gives us what we need. Creative Drama Workshop, Noah’s Ark Rotation Leader Guide. Spark Sunday School © 2010 Augsburg Fortress.
