Noah's Ark - Love God, Love People - Nothing Else Matters

Sound Group
• Demonstrate how the different instruments can be used. What do these
sounds remind you of? How can you make big sounds with these
instruments?
• Have kids decide when to add sound effects during the story. What did God’s
voice sound like? What did Noah hear when the animals were inside of
the boat? Assign specific kids to create specific sounds during the story, if
necessary.
• Help kids operate the storm recording. When did the rain start and stop? Did
the rain come quickly or slowly? How loud was the rain?
Movement Group
• Invite volunteers to play the parts of Noah, Noah’s Family, and the Animals.
You will act out your parts as the narrator reads the story. The Sight Group
will help you with your costumes, and our director(s) will help you think of
where and how to move.
•
Invite a volunteer or two to act as the director(s) and a leader to act as the
narrator. The narrator reads Noah’s Ark from the Spark Story Bible. Think of
the animals. How do they move? How do they get into the boat? What does
Noah do when the rain starts? Decide who comes on the stage when.
Present the skit
Gather the kids near the stage area. Have the Sight Group check the set and be
ready with any additional props. Have the Sound Group position themselves off
stage and be ready with their instruments. Instruct the actors who begin on stage
to take their places while the other actors stand to one side of the stage with the
director(s). Invite the narrator to stand near the director(s). Everyone else takes a
place in the audience.
We’re about to begin a grand adventure! Come with me to Bible times, where we
will meet a man named Noah. Watch and listen carefully, because the adventure
is about to begin. Cue the narrator to begin reading the story on page 20 of the
Spark Story Bible.
Following the skit
Gather the kids to debrief the story. Who was the most colorful animal in our
skit? Allow kids to respond to this and the following questions. Who listened to
God and built the big boat? (Noah) Who did God keep safe on the boat? (Noah,
Noah’s family, animals) Point to the picture on page 25 of the Spark Story Bible.
What happened when the flood was over? (Noah, his family, and the animals came
out. God put a rainbow in the sky.)
God put a rainbow in the sky as a promise never to flood the whole earth again.
God helped Noah’s family fill the earth with all kinds of people. We are some of
those people. We are God’s new creation!
