Story of Moses for Kids: A Short Summary
Moses was born when Pharaoh ordered Hebrew baby boys to be thrown into the Nile. His mother hid him in a basket in the reeds, and Pharaoh’s daughter found him and raised him (Exodus 2:1-10). Years later God spoke to Moses from a burning bush and sent him to free Israel (Exodus 3). God sent plagues on Egypt and brought His people through the Red Sea (Exodus 14) and gave Moses the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20). Our five lessons follow this story.

I’m looking for materials for 5 30-minutes lessons on Moses and the founding of the nation of Israel and the founding of America…. to use as the basis for vacation Bible school next year. Ages 4 through 6th grade
Thank you so much. Are these free? If not, what is the cost and where/how to pay?
I am a Sunday School teacher, that has a class made up of 8 kiddos , ranging from age 4 to 12. I appreciate the wonderful and creative ideas that Ministry To Children offers. I have not had to purchase any class materials, in the four years that I have been teaching. It really makes a difference. To a smaller church. Thank you and God bless you!
This website is very useful! In Albania we find it difficult to find materials for kids ministry. Thank you for sharing the materials.
Be blessed!
