What God made, and the day of rest.
The big ideaThe Bible tells us that God made the world, and it was good.
How it works
The Bible tells us that God made the world, and it was good.
The story has seven days. On each day God made something new, and light came first.
On the sixth day God made the animals and, last of all, people.
On the seventh day God rested. He blessed that day and made it a special day.
The first five days.
🐘day 6: animals and people😴day 7: a day to rest
The last two days.
Example 1: Count the days on your fingers
Hold up one finger for light, and two for the sky.
Three is the land and plants, and four is the sun, moon and stars.
Five is the fish and birds, and six is the animals and people.
Seven is a day to rest.
Example 2: Day and night
Look at a picture of the sun and the moon.
On the fourth day God made the sun to light up the day.
God made the moon and the stars to shine at night.
Example 3: Look after what God made
Water a plant together, or be gentle with a pet.
We can look after animals and plants, just like the first people did.
The world is a gift, so we can say thank you for it.
