Joseph Sold Into Egypt
 

When teaching about Joseph's coat of many colors, take brown paper sacks and cut them to make "coats" for the children and let them paint or glue colorful strips onto the sacks. You need to cut a hole for their arms, head and cut them up the front. The kids love this activity! (Idea by Missy)
 

I tell the story to the kids and I then pass out a rock to each child to represent the rock that Joseph used as a pillow (preferably smooth and a little smaller than the size of your fist). We talk about the rock and how uncomfortable it must have been to sleep on it. I then pass out water-based markers (in case of a mistake you can just use a wet Q-tip, or run the whole rock under running water), and have the children draw pictures of what Joseph saw in his dream on their rock. I then take them outside and lay them on newspaper and spray them with either liquid plastic or some kind of clear spray paint (to keep the marker from coming off). You will need a few hours for them to dry so plan to do this in the beginning of class, or keep them until the next appointed time and give them back then. (Idea by Alisha)
