Balaam Acrostic

Balaam Visual
Numbers 22-24

In teaching the lesson of Balaam, I made an acrostic. As I told the story, I use the letters to help them remember the key parts of the lesson. At the end of the lesson, I had made blank block letters for each child and had them draw pictures that represented what each letter stood for. Then, they used their letters to review the story with a friend.
