The Free Noah's Ark Lesson
Noah's Ark as a fifteen-minute lesson: the story to read aloud, one question, one verse, one activity, and a page that goes home. Free.
Put your email in the form below. The files come back in about a minute, in US Letter, A4 and a low-ink version, and there’s nothing to prepare beyond paper and a pencil.
This is lesson two of twelve.
The other eleven are in the Starter Pack, $24 for a family or $59 for a classroom.

Coloring page
The same ark scene in line art, on the back of the picture sheet.

Genesis 9:12, quoted word for word, with three hand motions for 3 to 5 and three harder ones for 6 to 8.

A 3 to 5 child draws one animal from the ark. A 6 to 8 child puts four story boxes in order.

A dinner question about the rainbow, a bedtime prayer, and the habit of saying “God keeps his promises” whenever you see one.

The lesson lands better if the story is already in the room, so read Noah’s Ark at bedtime first, then teach it at the weekend. The Noah’s Ark coloring page is free on its own too, and it’s the same scene that prints on the back of the picture sheet.
