The Ark of the Covenant

 

This week, we are going to be learning about a temple that King Solomon built!

ACTIVITY |Temple Tumblers

 

INSTRUCTIONS: Grab some Jenga blocks and build the tower with only two blocks per level (like this). After building to the desired height, have kids take turns trying to insert the middle block using only one hand. 

ACTIVITY |Temple Design

 

• INSTRUCTIONS: Give each kid a blank sheet of paper. Ask them to draw what they believe the temple of Solomon looked like. Encourage them to draw an object that means the most to them inside of the temple.
• This is just like how the Israelites placed the Ark of the Covenant inside of the holiest place in the temple. It was the most important thing to them. While it is nice to have things we love, nothing is more important than our relationship with God — which is what the Ark of the Covenant represented.
