Memory verse: Genesis 6:22 (KJV)

Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.

  • What does Genesis 6:9 say about Noah?
  • What does God tell Noah to make in Genesis 6:14?
  • What does Genesis 6:22 say Noah did?
  • With a grown-up, what does Hebrews 11:7 say about Noah’s faith?

Read Genesis 6:9-22 and Hebrews 11:7 with a trusted grown-up, explaining older KJV wording gently. On separate paper, list one instruction God gives Noah and Noah’s response, with verse references. Then choose a safe household task and follow its instructions together. Explain that this is an illustration: a person’s instruction is not automatically God’s command. Children may ask questions and seek help from a safe adult if an instruction is unsafe. Discuss the Flood as a serious judgment without graphic pictures or reenactments.
