Manna from Heaven!

We had a record high number of kids at our JAM program this week, so it was a great time learning about the Israelites wandering the wilderness and getting manna from heaven! Our message was that God always provides for us, and that He answers our prayers- just like he did for the Israelites.

After learning our story and talking about the message, the kids had 3 choices:

Make It: We followed this cool tutorial to show the path we thought the Israelites may have taken through the wilderness. We drew the path in white crayon and then covered the paper in water colors to reveal the line. 

Play It: I got this game from this awesome blog. We raced to pick up cotton balls ("manna") with a spoon - a real challenge for the littler kids!

Act It: We used Playmobil figures to represent the Israelites wandering in the desert, and goldfish crackers as the manna from heaven. The kids loved playing God and dumping that manna down!
