Creation – Day 1
Teacher – Hi Larry, how are you today?
Puppet – Fine, considering…
Teacher – Considering what?
Puppet – I’m a Monkey!
Teacher – You’re a what?
Teacher – Err, Uhh, I was a monkey.
Puppet – What are you talking about?
Puppet – Oh yea, I came from a monkey.
Teacher – Where did you hear a silly thing like
that?
Puppet – At school.
Teacher – Well, whoever told you that obviously
didn’t read the Bible. We were all
created by God.
Puppet – So I didn’t come from a monkey?
Teacher – No, although sometimes you act like one!
Puppet – Hey!!
Teacher - For the
next couple weeks, we are going to learn all about the creation of the world.
Puppet – I bet it took a long time to create
the whole world.
Teacher – No, it only took 6 days! Today we are going to learn about day 1.
Puppet – What happened on day 1?
Teacher – I am getting to that.
Puppet – Well hurry up!
Teacher – Okay, why don’t you go sit down and listen while
I tell everyone what God did on day 1 of creation.
Creation
Day 2
Puppet – Hi, Are we learning more about creation today?
Teacher – We sure are.
Puppet – You know what?
Teacher
– What?
Puppet – I’ve been studying!
Teacher
– You Have!!!
Puppet – You don’t have to act so surprised.
Teacher – What have you been studying?
Puppet – I know what God created the second day.
Teacher
– Wow, can you remember what He created the first day?
Puppet – Um, Uh, well, I know what God created the second day!
Teacher – Can anyone tell Larry what was created the first day?
Right, God
created light and dark.
Puppet – Oh yeah, I knew that.
Teacher
– Okay, what did God create the second day?
Puppet – FIREMEN!
Teacher
– Firemen?
Puppet – Yeah, God created the firemen.
Teacher
– I think you mean firmament.
Puppet – I do?
Teacher
– Yes, God created the firmament on the second day.
Puppet – What is a fir-ma-ment?
Teacher
– Well, God divided the water so there was some in heaven and some on
earth. The firmament holds the water in
the sky.
Puppet – Oh, so when did God create the firemen?
Teacher
– We will find out later when God created man.
Man learned how to be firemen, God did not create them that way.
Puppet – Wow, I can’t wait to learn more about that firmament
thing.
Creation
Day 3
Freddie: I brought a friend
today.
Teacher: Oh really? Who is
it?
Freddie: It’s Billy.
Teacher: Hi Billy.
Billy: Hi.
Freddie: I brought Billy to
hear about Creation.
Teacher: That’s great, we are going to learn about
Day 3 today.
Billy: My teacher at school said that the world was
made Millions of years ago by a giant explosion.
Teacher: Does that make
any sense?
Billy: My teacher said that Science could prove it.
Teacher: The Bible says that God Created the Heavens
and the Earth. We learned that on day one.
Freddie: And God created
the firmament on day 2.
Billy: What’s the firm a a
what he said?
Teacher: The firmament separates the water from the
sky.
Billy: So what did God do on
day three?
Freddie: Wait a minute, I think I know, on day 3 God
created the, the, the, whatever He created after day 2.
Teacher: Let’s see what the Bible says?
In Gen. 1:9, Vs.
9, And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one
place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
Vs. 10, And God
called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters
called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
Vs. 11, And God
said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the
fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon
the earth: and it was so.
Vs. 12, And the earth brought forth grass, and
herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was
in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. Vs. 13, And the
evening and the morning were the third day.
Freddie: Just like I said, dry land trees and grass,
and plants and stuff.
Billy: What’s next?
Teacher: You’ll have to come back next week to find
that out.
Billy: I knew there was a catch. You know it makes
a lot more sense when you read the Bible.
Freddie: I can’t wait to find out how God made man.
Billy: My teacher said that we came from monkeys.
Freddie: That’s silly, why don’t we keep coming back
to see what the Bible says about it.
Billy: That sounds great, see you next week.
Freddie: Bye kids.
Puppet
comes up wearing sunglasses.
Teacher – What are those for?
Teacher – Of course I know what they are for.
Puppet – Then why did you ask.
Teacher – (frustrated) Why are you wearing sunglasses in the
building?
Puppet – Oh, we are learning about the 4th day of
creation, right?
Teacher – Yes.
Puppet – Well, I just thought I would be prepared. I am “in costume”.
Teacher - Oh, why don’t you
tell everyone what God created on the 4th day.
Teacher – good.
Puppet – That is why I am wearing glasses!
Teacher – Okay, what else?
Puppet – Stars….like me.
Teacher – Like you?
Puppet – Yea, I’m a star (puppet bows)
Teacher – Whatever!
Puppet – He made the moon too.
Teacher – Very good, you actually learned something on your own.
Puppet – Yea, aren’t you impressed?
Teacher – Yes I am.
Puppet – Well, I am going to go sit down and listen to find out
more about day 4.
Teacher – Okay, Bye.
Creation
– Day 5
Puppet – Hi everybody!
Look what I got (shows a sand dollar).
Teacher – Wow, that is pretty neat. Do you know what it is?
Puppet – It is some kind of sea creature.
Teacher – Well, it does live in the ocean. It is called a sand dollar.
Puppet – It doesn’t look like a dollar to me.
Teacher – No, but it has a neat story behind it.
Puppet – (turn over sand dollar) I don’t see any story behind it.
Teacher – I can tell you all about Jesus with that sand dollar.
Puppet – I gotta hear this.
Teacher – Okay, let me have it (take sand dollar). Here you see an Easter Lily and in the
center is a star. The Wise Men were led
to Jesus by a star.
On the other side is a Christmas poinsettia. These remind us of Jesus birth.
Puppet – That’s a good start.
Teacher – It gets better.
See the holes here? There are
four for the nail holes in Jesus hands and feet and one more for the spear that
was thrust through his side.
Puppet – Wow that’s pretty neat.
Teacher – And look at this. (Break Sand Dollar open)
Puppet – AHH! You broke
it.
Teacher – Inside are five doves to go spread the gospel.
Puppet – Wow, I am going to show that to my friends. They need to know about Jesus. God was pretty smart to put so much that
reminds us of Him in the world.
Teacher – You know what?
This fits in perfect with day 5 of creation.
Puppet – Really? What did
God create on day 5?
Teacher – Let’s
see what the Bible says: Gen 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly
the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the
earth in the open firmament of heaven.
Gen 1:21 And God created great whales, and every living
creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their
kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was
good.
Gen 1:22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and
multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
Gen 1:23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
Puppet – Yea, Sand Dollars live in the ocean so God made them on
day 5.
Teacher – You are exactly right.
God made the sea creatures and the birds.
Puppet – Cool! I can’t
wait to learn about day 6 next week.
Teacher – Okay, we will see you next week. Don’t forget to bring a friend.
Creation
– Day 6
Puppet – Hi, I know what God created on day 6!
Teacher – You do! What did
He create?
Puppet – He created man and animals.
Teacher – Wow, you are right. The Bible says:
Gen 1:24 And
God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle,
and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
Gen 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind,
and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after
his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after
our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the
fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every
creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the
image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be
fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have
dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every
living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Gen 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb
bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree,
in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be
for meat.
Gen 1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl
of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there
is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
Gen 1:31 And God saw every thing
that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the
morning were the sixth day.
Puppet – But there is something that I don’t understand.
Teacher – What don’t you understand?
Puppet – My teacher at school was telling us that dinosaurs lived millions of years ago before people, but today is the last day of creation and we haven’t learned about dinosaurs. Did they really exist?
Teacher – They sure did exist.
They were created on day 6 also.
Puppet – You mean man and dinosaurs existed at the same time.
Teacher – Yes, they did.
Let’s see what the Bible says about dinosaurs.
Job 40:15 Behold now behemoth,
which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
Job 40:16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and
his force is in the navel of his belly.
Job 40:17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his
stones are wrapped together.
Job 40:18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass;
his bones are like bars of iron.
Some people think
the behemoth was a hippo. The Bible
says he moveth his tail like a cedar. A
cedar is a tree. That doesn’t sound
like a hippo to me.
Puppet – Do you
think it was a dinosaur?
Teacher – I sure do. That
sounds like a big animal much more powerful than a hippo.
Puppet – Wow,
that would be cool to see a dinosaur.
Teacher – Well, I
wouldn’t want to get too close.
Puppet – Yea, I
guess it is a good thing they are extinct.
Teacher – Oh, but
they are not extinct.
Puppet –
They’re not?
Teacher – No,
Let’s go back and see what the Bible says.
Isaiah 27:1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and
strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan
that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
This verse is talking about the future.
How could God slay the dragon that is in the sea if there isn’t a
dragon in the sea? There are still some
species of dinosaurs living today.
Puppet –
Wow! My teacher said they were extinct.
Teacher – Well,
if scientists and teachers would just read the Bible, they could find out all
about creation and dinosaurs and all that neat stuff. They just don’t want to believe God.
Puppet – I
would rather believe God than man.
Teacher – Me too.
Puppet – So are
we all done learning about creation?
Teacher – Yes,
but next week we are going to have a party.
Puppet – A
party???
Teacher – Yes, on
the 7th day God rested so we are going to celebrate creation and
have a party.
Puppet – I love
parties, I will see you all next week!
