A paraphrase of the Bible story.
“Special Words” close each story--this short sentence names one attribute of God’s from the story.
A Story Poem that sums up the plot with a fun rhyme.
Two response ideas to play, imagine, make, or move.
Menu style, as always: Use what you like, skip what you don’t need!
