Remix JAM Sessions Creation Teacher Guide

Welcome!

We will be studying the Six Days of Creation. I realize there are many different viewpoints on creation. We won’t be getting into them. Whether you believe the six days were literal days or you believe in a combination of creation and evolution or whatever scientific truths you hold, I believe we can all agree that God in his infinite power created the world.

Week 1

Jesus Session: Day One. God created light and separated light and dark creating day and night. We introduce the unit Bible verse. Learn it!

TIP: Set up a buddy system with older and younger kids. make groups of 2-3 for the entirety of the six weeks. Encourage older kids to help.

Art Session: Our crafts for this unit will all be able to be joined together at the end. We will be making the 6 days of creation on 6 inch round construction papers.

Music Session: We introduce “God Made the World.” Be sure to learn the new song!

Week 2

Jesus Session: Day Two. God created the atmosphere which will be represented by clouds, sky, and oceans.

Art Session: If you don’t want to use glitter, blue crayons/markers are fine.

Music Session: Separating melody and lyrics can be helpful in the beginning, but ultimately it’s the combination that helps them remember.

Week 3

Jesus session: Day Three. God made land and separated it from the water. He created plants, trees, flowers fruit, vegetables. Pretty smart how he created food before animals.

Art Session: Remember the template is in Week 1. Today, plants and trees.

TIP: If you don't have the supplies, you can always get creative. No pipe cleaners? Just use crayon? 

Music Session: Think about memorization.

Week 4

Jesus Session: Day Four. On this day, God created the sun, moon, and stars.

Art Session: Any circle shaped things work here. Straws, pencil erasers, etc..

Music: Show students how they will be standing on stage. The sooner they understand this, the more fluid it will be.

Week 5

Jesus Session: Day Five. God made fish and other sea creatures and he made birds.

Art Session: Use the cut-outs or you can use stickers.

Music Session: Let parents know what to expect next week. Here’s a template for a note to send home.

Week 6

Jesus Session: Day 6. God made land animals and people!

TIP: If you have spare time, you can show this video about creation.

Art Session: Self portraits are so fun.

Music: Smile!

TIP: When your class has learned a song but you're not scheduled to sing it in church, do your own Mini concert for family. Have parents stay at pickup for the kiddos to sing their song.
