STEP TWO: watch this video

STEP THREE:

SAY: Today we are going to talk about the word Holy. Who can tell me what the

word Holy means? (Holy: To set something apart for God) To play the game Hole

or Holy we need to set up some clay pieces. I need a few volunteers who will help

me shape the clay.

TAKE OUT a jar of play dough and encourage the kids to make the following:

• Circle

• Flat Pancake, Use Finger to Write “Holy” in the middle

• 10 Small Discs

Once all of the items have been made, place the 10 small discs inside of the circle.

SAY: As a group we are going to read the questions and determine if something is holy or

not. Each time we discuss something that is holy, we will take one of the discs and place it

on the clay marked holy. We’ll set it apart from the rest of the clay discs.

STEP FOUR:

PRINT: this sheet (one for each kiddo) https://639caa19-9177-4a03-919d-5000be386319.filesusr.com/ugd/110c10_31f1e21b65eb45beb1cac82b46bd6d1c.pdf

SAY: We are going to play “We’ve Got Rules!” We’ll see which team can put down all segments of their Leviticus Level first. Before we get started, cut out your level. I am going to divide you into two groups. Each time your team answers a question you will put down a segment of the Leviticus level, laying it end to end. The team that puts down all their segments first wins.
