We are learning Who is God as part of the homeschool curriculum for Kindergarten. Below are some activities we will be using to learn who God is. The activities we prepared for Gab includes book reading, Bible reading, a word find worksheet, singing songs and writing exercises.
These activities are not meant to be finished in one day. It is not also in sequence. Feel free to start with any activity. Ideally, the activities will be completed within a week so that you can jump to other Bible activities in the following weeks.
Finally, your child might have tough questions about Who is God. Childrensministry.com has some tips on how to respond when kids ask about God.
Who is God Learning Objective
Our goal is to provide an introduction about God and make the child familiar with God’s characteristics based on what the Bible says. This is also to establish the fact that the Bible is our guide in knowing more about God.
Who is God Suggested Activities
1. Book Reading. We bought a really nice book, Questions from Little Hearts (Little Blessings)
I can’t see you, God,
so please give me a clue;
Do you look like me,
and do I look like you?
Later, God himself answers each of the child’s questions.
You won’t find
a picture of me in a book.
There isn’t one person
who knows how I look.
But don’t be upset
that you can’t see my face.
You can look at my work
in this beautiful place.
Bible references are provided at the end of the chapter. If you don’t have a copy of this book, no worries. You can skip it and use Activity #2 instead.
2. Bible Reading. For the Bible Reading, any Bible translation will do. If you have an illustrated version for kids, that will look nice. I have a Serendipity Bible NIV
The following verses talks about God and His character. I picked 10 verses that reveal who God is. But the Bible has so much more to say about God.
