Teaching Tie-InShow the sample craft and say:

Today we’re making lighthouses. Have you ever been to a lighthouse? A lighthouse shines a bright light in the dark so sailors can see where they're going. In fact, a lighthouse is sometimes the only light around, just like sometimes we’re the only ones around shining our light for God. That means that sometimes we may be the only ones around who love God. Noah certainly was the only one around who still loved God and stood for Him back in his day. It must have been tough! What do you think it means to stand for God? Have you ever gotten in a situation where you were the only one standing for God? Tell us about it!

Lone Lighthouse (V.1)

Class Time Directions1. (Optional) Using scissors, cut the outer lip from the

paper plate.

2. Flip the plate over so the white underside (the bottom) is facing you. Then glue stick the large green circle to the center of the plate.

3. Take the Styrofoam cup without the hole in the bottom and apply a bead of craft glue to the top rim. Then turn it upside-down and carefully center and press onto the green circle. There should be an even band of green around the outside of the cup.

4. Arrange your pebbles along the green band and glue into place with craft glue.

5. Take the plastic lid with the hole in it and snap it onto the soufflé cup.

6. Apply a bead of craft glue to the bottom rim of the other Styrofoam cup (the one with the hole in the bottom). Then turn the plastic soufflé cup upside-down and carefully center and press the lid onto the bottom of the cup.

7. Apply a small pool of craft glue to the bottom of the soufflé cup. Then take the other plastic lid, turn it upside-down, and carefully center and press it onto the bottom of the soufflé cup.

8. Cut out the roof circle. Then cut along the line to the center of the circle. Then overlap the ends to form a cone and glue stick together. The roof cone should be sized to fit snuggly inside the upside-down plastic lid.

9. Apply a bead of craft glue around the inside edge of the upside-down plastic lid. Then press the roof cone into the glue.

10. Cut out the Bible verses and each of the windows and glue stick to the outside of the second cup below the soufflé cup.

11. Now assemble your lighthouse. Turn on the LED tea light and place it on top of the first Styrofoam cup. Then carefully slide the other cup over top of the first cup so the tea light pokes through and lights up the soufflé cup.

Tip Corner

• Pour craft glue into soufflé cups, for every 2 children, and use craft sticks cut in half to spread it.

• To save class time, cut out the roof circles and windows completely.

• Just a reminder—make sure all pre-prep tools and basic supplies that could be dangerous to children, such as a paper cutter, are put safely away before VBS.

Super Simple IdeaEach day, at least one super simple option is included, which is a pre-made craft kit from Oriental Trading Com-pany (1-800-875-8480 or visit www.orientaltrading.com) that goes along with main concepts of the day.

As an alternative to the Lone Lighthouse, try the following craft kit.

• DIY Mini Flashlight Key Chains (IN-57/9303)—Manu-facturer does not recommend for children under 3 years of age.

Verse and Song TimeThis section is for those who have extra time after the daily craft and/or science experiments are completed.

Memory Verse ReviewTo review today’s verse, play the appropriate Scripture song from the Memory Verse Songs DVD (available with the purchase of a Super Starter Kit or at answersbookstore .com [contemporary: 11-4-069; traditional: 11-4-063]) and have children sing along. Then play a review game with them. Use your arm as a volume indicator. Hold your arm out to your side and lower it for “soft,” raise it high for “loud” with variations on the loudness throughout. Chil-dren say the verse based on the volume you indicate with your arm. Change the volume before the kids say the verse, or as they’re saying it. Choose one or two children to also control the volume while the others say the verse.

Theme Verse: "But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord." Genesis 6:8

Juniors/Primaries: "Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong." 1 Corinthians 16:13 (NKJV)
