Day One
(click for a printable pdf of this)
Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
God called the light “day” and the darkness “night.”
Together these made up one day.
Genesis 1:3, 5
Bible:
Say: “God created everything. He started by making day and night on the very first day. The Bible says that God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light. God called the light ‘day’ and the darkness ‘night’. Together these made up one day.”
Read about Day One in a children’s Bible story book.
Activities:
- You can make a day and night picture like the one above or you can use the printable pdf. I will be giving you one each day this week so you can either make a Creation book or cut out the circles and cover in plastic so you can use them to let your child put them in order.
- Talk about and act out things you do at night – bathe, sleep, read, watch tv, etc.
- Talk about and act out things you do during the day – work, school, play outside, etc

Thank you, God, for making the day for work and play. Thank you, God, for making night for rest. Thank you, God, for making the whole world!!
