Kindergarten Scripture Study | Chapter 6: Genesis 7-9: Noah, the Flood and Covenant
Parent and teacher guide with separate answers. Model one item from the student lesson and allow independent work. Record individual results privately, never on a public page.
Day 1: Genesis 7:1-10: Entering the Ark
Instructional approach
Read Genesis 7:1-10 with a parent or teacher. Identify who speaks to Noah, what instructions are given, and who enters the ark. Read the actual passage rather than accepting a drawing as complete evidence. This is a Scripture reading lesson, not a scientific simulation of a flood.
Worked demonstration
Ask: Who receives the instructions? Read the opening verses and answer ‘Noah.’ Point to the verse supporting the answer.

- 2. Who gives the instruction? Answer: Yahuah
- 3. What is the large vessel called? Answer: ark
- 4. What book contains this account? Answer: Genesis

Award one point per core question. Accept a reasonable equivalent oral response or labeled picture, and reteach missed concepts before reassessing.
Day 2: Genesis 7:11-24: Waters and the Ark
Instructional approach
Read Genesis 7:11-24 with guidance appropriate for a young child. The passage describes the waters and what happens during the flood. Ask the student to identify events from the text. Avoid making unsupported claims about dates, geology, or animals beyond what is written.

Day 3: Genesis 8:1-14: Waters Decrease
Instructional approach
Read Genesis 8:1-14. The text describes the waters receding and Noah sending birds. Identify the sequence of events with the verses. Encourage the student to say what is known from the account and what remains unknown rather than adding imaginary scenes.

Day 5: Genesis 9:1-17: Covenant Sign
Instructional approach
Read Genesis 9:1-17 in full. The passage speaks of the covenant and the bow in the cloud as a sign. Identify the people to whom the covenant is described and the sign named. Read the full passage before simplifying it for a child. Do not import later customs.
