Genesis 11
Something to say
The children of God decided to do something amazing! They decided to build a massive tower that would go all the way to the sky. A tower to heaven. Ask the kids if they have ever seen any really tall buildings? Show some pictures on a powerpoint.
The problem wasn't that they wanted to build a building. The problem wasn't that they wanted it to do be amazing. The problem was the reason they were doing it. They figured they could get to God by themselves by building a tower up to him. They thought they would be happy and didn't need God's help. This made God sad. Firstly because his children has turned their backs on him and secondly because he knew a tower wouldn't make them happy or get them close to him. The only way back to God would be through Jesus. God needed to come first.

Something to show
Pictures of really tall buildings like the Eiffle tower, Pyramids, World Trade Centre, The Shard, Burj.
Something to pray
Lead the children to ask the Holy Spirit to help them remember that God is number one and that he is always the most important thing in our lives.
A verse to remember
He must become greater, I must become less. John 3:30
