Jesus Without Language

Zipphorah meets Moses as a wanderer, a runaway, and yet as a man who acts honourably and helps her and her sisters. These games play with the key elements of the story, the runaway, the shepherd life and the well full of water. There is also a make/play post for this lesson (will add link when it arrives)

Wet sheep – If you are blessed with an outdoor area and a warm day this story is a perfect opportunity for water games. Grab a selection of small tables and call them sheep, have the children try and throw each sheep some water. According to age you could add in a scoring system according to which sheep is hit. For those stuck indoors this game works just as well with blue beanbags!

I couldn’t resist adding this little ‘guess who’ inspired game to this lesson on Zipporah and her seven sisters. It’s a simple print and go game and is great for getting to know the characters.

This worksheet about Zipphorah and Moses is all about reflecting on truth. The truth of how Moses reached Zipphorah is not a cute story, and Zipphorah was my no means a simple person to meet with 6 sisters in tow – talk about a female dominated household. This worksheet is a mixture of puzzles and pondering with most activities having two elements. The worksheet can be done either independently or in a small group setting.

To complete the worksheet you will need something to write with and to turn your imaginations on!

Today’s heroes are Zipporah and Moses because they shows us the gift of history
Essential Teachers notes:
Often this story of Zipporah can feel unnecessary with such a long narrative, but it’s the story of Moses downfall and redemption, it’s the humanisation of a man whose face will one day shine from his direct contact with the divine. Without this story Moses can be seen as a man who just happened to be immensely blessed at every turn. This story would also work well as a script with a narrator and 4+ actors.

Lots of biblical passages involve truly supernatural acts of wonder, but this story of Zipphorah and Moses is much more down to earth, it’s simplicity makes reenactment a great tool and so this shadow puppet theatre is ideal. This is an ideal small group or pairs activity.

Zipporah meets Moses at an interesting point in his life, she sees him through his act of chivalry, and yet the man she meets is broken, on the run. This act of chivalry is what is depicted in this craft, it’s a really simple foldable that helps the kids focus on the story and retell it to others.
