We’re Learning… I can obey God.
Bible Story: Noah’s Ark ● Genesis 6-9

As a family, read “Noah’s Ark” (Genesis 6-9) from a children’s Bible. (CLICK HERE for children’s Bible recommendations.) 

After reading the Bible story, complete the activity together.

Song Activity:

• Say, “Let’s sing a song to help us remember we can obey God!”
• Lead your toddler in singing the song below to the tune of “If You’re Happy and You Know It.”

  God wants us to obey, yes He does! (clap, clap)
  God wants us to obey, yes He does! (clap, clap)
  God wants us to obey, each and every single day.
  God wants us to obey, yes He does! (clap, clap)

  God wants us to obey, yes He does! (stomp, stomp)
  God wants us to obey, yes He does! (stomp, stomp)
  God wants us to obey, each and every single day.
  God wants us to obey, yes He does! (stomp, stomp)

  God wants us to obey, yes He does! (“Hooray!”)
  God wants us to obey, yes He does! (“Hooray!”)
  God wants us to obey, each and every single day.
  God wants us to obey, yes He does! (“Hooray!”)

NOTE: You can also put all three actions together for a fourth verse. (clap clap, stomp stomp, “Hooray!”)

• Continue the activity for as long as your toddler is engaged.
• After the activity, say, “Wonderful job singing! Who can obey God?” Encourage your toddler to say, “I can obey God!” Then lead your toddler in prayer:
  “Dear God, thank You for loving us. We trust You know what’s best, and we want to obey You. Please help us obey You and follow You in everything we do. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
