During Faith Camp, we taught Joseph’s story. First we reviewed the family history and reviewed the Bible story surrounding Joseph’s life. On the whiteboard, I assigned Jacob’s twelve sons (twelve tribes of Israel) to their respective mothers. Basically, I explained that Joseph was Jacob’s favorite son from his favorite wife. All of us could easily imagine how the other brothers felt about Joseph.
We have a few chants we do as Cadence calls, including the one below. After the Bible Story, we did the chant, made paper bag colorful coats, and then played suitcase relay. I bought two Hawaiian shirts to represent Joseph’s colorful coats. I use two large shopping bags; in addition to the Hawaiian shirts, I put in large t-shirts, pants, and a robe. Kiddos love suit-case relay. I like to do several activities, crafts, or games to reinforce a lesson.
Chant:
Joseph and his colorful coat
Got him tossed into a moat
Then one day he ran the show
And his brothers home they did not know
Sound Off, One, Two!
Round Off, Three, Four!
Cadence Call: One, Tow, Three, Four, One, Two, Three, Four!
