Elijah and the Widow of Zarephath

 This Old Testament study is designed for older students with some worksheets and printables that correspond for younger students so they can be used in classes with several ages together or used specifically for the lesson. Most of these lessons have project printables for younger students that I have been wanting to add for some time.

All of the worksheets have the teacher's answer sheets included and most are in black & white.

To make the Flip Book which shows the widow's son getting sick, dying, and living again, cut on the dotted line to separate the top from bottom. Cut the bottom pictures out on solid line. Layer in order and staple as shown on the gray rectangle. Fold the Foldable Book, in half lengthwise, then fold in page 3, then fold the front cover on the line. The Spinner shows the widow using the last of her flour and oil to make the bread for Elijah. All are in color and black & white. The Spinner works best if printed on cardstock or heavier paper. 

The first worksheet is a fill in the blank. Instead of numbering these 1, 2, 3, etc., they are numbered with the verse to read first, then fill in the blanks using the Word Bank. The second has spaces for students to write the answer found in the word bank. The third worksheet was designed for those asking for cut & glue. It is an easy scripture to cut out the words and glue them in order. The students will also write out the verse. This was a suggestion from a teacher. There is a Reader Worksheet which has pictures for the students to write the number under each to put them in order after reading the summary of the lesson. There is a number code and alphabet code and a word search worksheet. The write it out has four pictures for the student to write about each and describe the text. The thought question can be used as an introduction to the lesson, or as a conversation starter after the lesson.

Cast your burden on the Lord, and He will sustain you. Psalm 55:55a

These printables can be used for this lesson and any other appropriate lesson and were kept plain intentionally for this purpose. A key verse was chosen to use for discussion, memory work, and copy work. Students can color or paint the designs on the banner, poster, door hanger and bookmark. Stickers can be added. String or ribbon can be added to the banner to hang and on the bookmark.
