Taking Food to my Brothers

I have been teaching the 3 year old class on Wednesday night where we are studying the life of Joseph. Tonight we learned how Jacob had asked Joseph to take food to his brothers. When Joseph's mean brothers saw him, they took his beautiful coat and threw him in a well or pit. I made an arrangement of Going on a Bear Hunt for this lesson. We had to do this multiple times in class tonight. It was a huge hit!!

Here is a river. I have to swim across the river.

Here are my brothers. I have to give the food to my brothers.

We went all over the classroom doing this (I was exhausted afterwards!!). You could also use this with David and Goliath when David takes food to his brothers in the army. I hope your little ones enjoy it as much as mine did.
