Mark your location on a wall map of
the world with a wet erase marker (if the map is laminated) or a map pin. |
|
Ask each child to mark their favorite
place to visit, longest trip taken, etc. |
|
After each child has placed a mark on
the world map, ask if anyone can locate the lands described in the Bible. |
 |
|
Use a wet erase marker to draw
a square around the lands of the Bible. |
|
Tape up a map of the Bible
lands and explain that this map is an enlargement of the square you
drew on the world map. We use laminated maps from Rose
Publishing titled "The Holy Land," and "The
Middle East." |
|
Use a Bible drill to familiarize the students with
the places Abraham visited. Give the students the Bible
reference. First one to find the verse reads the passage and
marks the location on the map. |
