Genesis 2 & 3: Fall and Redemption

Following creation account is the Fall of Adam and Even. My objective for this lesson is that kids can understand what sin means, and how God sets up a redemption plan through Jesus Christ.

To keep them focused, I asked them to make a simple paper book. While I was telling the story, I asked them to draw 6 pictures on the book.

To explain how sin looked like, I borrowed the idea from Adventures in La La Land. I asked them to put their hands in dirt, and make them really dirty. They resisted and felt excited at the same time. After that I explained sin was like the dirt, and we needed Jesus to wash our sins away. So I labeled a hand soap with "Jesus", just like the blog suggests.
Here is the lesson plan:
