Temple
Definition:
The temple was a place to go to worship God and offer sacrifices. It is where God lived among the Jews.
What God said about it:
· The temple was in Jerusalem.
· God gave instructions about how to build the temple to David and Solomon.
· The Ark of the Covenant was inside the temple.
· Deut 12:13-14 says the only place to worship God was at the temple in Jerusalem.
I also had drawings of the temple here, but I didn't want to violate any copyright laws. I'll attach a photo of the card later, if I remember. This is the text, though.

Passover Vocabulary Card
Passover
Definition:
Yearly festival that reminded the Israelites of how God used Moses to bring them out of Egypt.
What God said about it:
· Exodus 12 gives the Israelites rules about how and when to eat the Passover.
· God wanted the Israelites to remember every year how He had brought them from Egypt and saved them from slavery.
· Jesus ate the Passover with the disciples.
I know these are basic, but this isn't a lesson, merely a reminder of things the kids should already have been taught. Again, on mine, there is a drawing of the food and a man painting door posts with blood.

Prayer lesson
This is a generic lesson, teaching kids how to pray and why we pray. It can be used in any number of situations, so I am posting it seperately.
Prayer
Make prayer posters – I can pray when? I can pray where? I can pray about? Teacher makes the poster, and gives the kids ½ sheet of paper to let the kids illustrate the answers to these questions.
Make door hangers – “Quiet please. I’m praying.” (Or something along those lines.) Allow the kids to write the sentences and color or add stickers to door hangers. Discuss how we pray to God and why.
