The Story of Creation
One of the most loved preschool bible stories is the story of creation. I find that the children enjoy it when I encourage them to act it out. They pretend to be the sun, moon and stars on the fourth day; the fish and the birds on the fifth day, and so on. I like to use lots of visual aids as well.
Story T.I.M.E.
In the beginning... there was a big mess. G-d said let there be light, and there was light. G-d differentiated between light and darkness and at the end of the first day, G-d looked at his progress and said it was good.
On the second day, G-d parted the waters. G-d created the water above - the sky - and the water below - the oceans. At the end of the second day G-d looked at his progress and said it was good.
On the third day, G-d created the earth, plants, and flowers. At the end of the third day G-d looked at his progress and said it was good.
On the fourth day, G-d created the sun, the moon and the stars. At the end of the fourth day G-d looked at his progress and said it was good.
On the fifth day, G-d created all the creatures that live in the seas and in the sky. At the end of the fith day G-d looked at his progress and said it was good.
On the sixth day, G-d created the animals living on the land and humans. At the end of the sixth day, G-d looked at his creation and said it was very good.
On the seventh day, G-d rested!

Disscussion T.I.M.E.
When discussing this preschool bible story I address the following issues:
God created the world in a certain order. How come G-d decided to create the world in that specific order?
G-d rested on the last day of the story of creation. We also need a day of rest. Why is it important to rest? We rest our bodies, our minds, our souls. Often it is a day to be with our families. What do you like to do on your day of rest?
Many religions use their day of rest to take the time to thank G-d for his creation. We give thanks for our bodies, our food, our homes. Ultimately, we do not own anything; everything we have are gifts from G-d.
G-d asked the people to work the land and to protect it. G-d gave the world to us as a present and it is our job to take care of the world. What are some of the things we can do in order to protect all of G-d's creations?
