Ark & the Tent
|
I wonder why it takes so many layers of roof to protect the tent?
|
As the Israelites flee, they continually rebuild their tent with the ark at every new camp. Each element of the tent has a sacred meaning and placement. This story from Exodus 25-31, 35-40 allows the children to understand the history. This story is found in Godly Play and Young Children and Worship has a similar story entitled, "The arc and a tent for God."

Our 1st through 5th grade children learned about the Ark and the Covenant, they got to see where it was protected within the Tabernacle. They also recreated an editable version!
