Cotton Ram

• God accepted the sacrifice of a ram in place of Issac. Celebrate this ram by creating a cotton ram craft. Draw a picture of a ram on a piece of paper or use the template from the Children's Chapel.com website. Scan it to your computer and print out enough for each of your children. Print out extras in case of mistakes. Children color the ram with crayons, cut it out and glue cotton balls to it to give it its coat. Discuss the importance of the ram to the story. Hang the rams up around the room to help decorate it and show off your children's handiwork.
  
  

Altar

• Recreate the altar from the story and use stuffed toys to recreate the scene. Stack cardboard boxes up in an altar-shaped platform. The shape can vary depending on how many boxes you have and the shapes of the boxes. Find a stuffed man toy, a stuffed boy toy and a stuffed ram. Assign each to a student. Coach your students into acting out the scene using the stuffed animals as guides. Speak for God during this performance. Let each of your students have a turn acting out the scene. Ask them how it made them feel to act out the scene. Try to get them to feel the importance of Abraham's devotion to God by discussing how it would feel to give up something they loved, such as a favorite toy.
  
  

My Favorite Things

• One of the most important lessons learned by Issac was that God came first in every situation. Teach your students this lesson by making a "favorite things" craft. Hand out construction paper, crayons, scissors and other decorative items. Tell your children to write down a list of their favorite things on the construction paper using the crayons. They can color the paper any color they like and use the scissors to make decorations. Ask how many students put "God" on their list. Tell them about Issac's lesson and ask them if God is more important than everything on their list. Name a few things from the list and state that God is more important than each of them.
  
  

Tent

• Abraham and Issac lived in a tent with Abraham's wife Sarah. Help your students recreate a scene from their lives by making small paper tents. Students must cut out four pieces of rectangular paper, two sides about three by five inches and the others about three by three. Glue these together into a rectangular shape. Students create the roof by gluing two pieces of slanting paper along the long sides. Draw paper figures for Abraham, Issac and Sarah. Color them in, cut them out and glue a piece of paper on their back which helps them stand up straight. Place them next to their tent and act out scenes from their lives.
