What am I?

Material

• Charades

Steps

1. Ask the children for the charades.
2. Talk about the importance of water, bread and meat for our survival. Ask the children if they know what would happen if we were running out of food and water. Explain that we could not live very long without food or water, as these are essential elements of life.
3. Remind them that God took care of Elijah’s survival… with the help of crows.
