Part I vs. 1-31
Researh for older students: In this chapter Jesus celebrates the Feast of Tabernacles. Have them look up information about the Feast of Tabernacles and do a report on it. A good link is: www.biblicalholidays.com/tabernacles.htm Some things their reports should cover is: What did the Jews of Jesus day do to celebrate this feast? Where is this feast found in the Old Testament? How does this feast point to Jesus? Will we be expected to take part in this feast? (Scriptures to cover: Leviticus 23:34, Zechariah 14:16-21, Micah 4:1-3)
Project: To experience how Jesus lived during the Feast of Tabernacles make a Sukkah. At www.jewfaq.org/holiday5.htm there is an article titled “Building a Sukkah”. Sukkah is Hebrew for booth. (Also be sure to read Leviticus 23:34) This article gives directions on how to build a real Sukkah if you and your family would like to. Your children would probably enjoy such a project. If you cannot afford the materials mentioned, use your imagination, perhaps even a large cardboard box. You can put your branches on top of it. Maybe for that week you can let the children do their lessons outside in their Sukkah.
