Elijah Goes to Heaven in a Whirlwind

These lessons can be used without the alphabet theme.

Consider these an update with new ideas and printables!

This activity sheet can be used different ways, depending on what you what to do. There was a request for more cut & glue. The kids love it, not the teachers! If you cut a line at the top of the fire, Elijah can stand next to Elisha and talk. Then, you can move him behind the chariot and horse of fire to separate them. Then the whirlwind can come down and Elijah can be held behind it and can go up towards the cloud. Also, you can use a small piece of non-fray fabric for the mantle for more hands-on. 

The kids really love using Stand-Ups! They like to retell and move everything around. These can be used for a small teacher's visual depending on your class size. There are two different graphics to print. Elijah was bald, so it was harder to find a set of men to use. 2 Kings 2:23 The second choice is from Sweet and it is only in color.

Draw a line to the correct person, event or statement with and without graphics and a cryptogram worksheet. All of these have a teacher's answer sheet.

A crossword, word search with and without graphics, color-by-number-code and a maze to 'travel' through the cities Elijah and Elisha did are included. The crossword and word search puzzles have teacher answer sheets.

 The first is a Reader Worksheet. The wording from the scripture is as easy to read as possible with sight words while keeping to the key points with easy to answer questions. The second is a fill-in-the-blank worksheet. 

I designed the Trip Strip to be a cut & glue timeline. This one shown has lines for the students to write about each event. Or, they can write the scriptures. There is another worksheet without the writing space. These can easily be used for mixed age groups. Cut and glue according to directions.

These Event Cards can be used as smaller visuals and they can be shuffled for the student to re-tell the events and lay them in order. The same full-page size visuals and pictures-to-color can be downloaded below.

There are alphabet mazes and worksheets included. These are half-sheets and can be used in Interactive Notebooks. Click here to see a free video on how to make and use Interactive Notebooks. There is a set of 5 and 10 piece puzzles.
