Best Old Testament stories for 6 graders?

jinadovi · 09-18-2007, 07:50 AM

Hi everyone...
Looking for some ideas/inspiration for my Sunday school class this year. I'm finding that all the teachings in the book are geared toward Jesus and his teachings. Was thinking it would be nice to also share an Old Testament story each week because it seems that the children just don't know the Old Testament stories. They know Noah's ark and Adam and Eve and Moses...after that, it gets real slim.

I will have 19 sessions through the year, so I wanted to get at least 15 stories gathered so I can share with the class. They have bibles, so I can refer them to the chapter/verse.

For example:

King Solomon's choice (where the women were fighting over the baby)
Samson and Delilah
Abraham and Issac
David and Goliath
Sodom and Gomorrah

What's your favorite?
Thanks so much!

Joseph and his coat of many colors
The story of Esther

Daniel in the lions den
Daniel and his 3 friends
Jeremiah, the crying prophet
Jonah and the whale
