The lesson “Joshua and the Walls of Jericho” teaches children more about the importance of trusting God. After reading the story about Joshua and how he fought the battle of Jericho, the children will state at least two instructions God gave to the Israelites and explain what it meant for them to trust God. Each child will discuss what it means for he or she to trust God in his or her own life and will pray, asking God to help him or her follow even when it becomes difficult. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 6-8 years, and is the 24th lesson in the 1st Year Core Curriculum Set and part of the “God is With Us” unit.
