Use this as a simple Pictionary-style game to introduce Rebekah’s story and get kids thinking about key objects before you read the passage.

Materials

• Whiteboard or easel  
• Markers  
• Eraser  
• Prepared list of words from Rebekah’s story (for example: camel, bracelet, well, pitcher, servant, water, family, tent)

Setup

• Write your word list on a small card or paper for you to see (keep it hidden from the kids).  
• Split the group into two teams and have them sit on opposite sides facing the board.

How to Play

1. Explain that you will be playing Pictionary using words from today’s Bible story about Rebekah.  
2. Choose one child from Team A to come to the board. Secretly show them the first word from your list.  
3. The child then has 30–60 seconds to draw the word (no letters or numbers allowed) while **both teams** try to guess.  
4. The first team to correctly guess the word earns 1 point.  
5. Alternate teams, sending a new artist each round and using the next word on your list until several words have been guessed.  
   

Simple Application
After a few rounds, briefly connect the pictures to the story you’re about to read (for example, “You drew a camel because Rebekah gave water to the camels,” “You drew a bracelet because the servant gave Rebekah jewelry”).  

Then transition into the Bible reading, telling kids to listen for those same objects and see how God worked through Rebekah’s kindness and obedience.

Use this as a simple jewelry craft to help kids remember the gifts Abraham’s servant gave Rebekah and how God led him to the right person.

Materials

• Assorted beads (gold, silver, colored, heart-shaped, etc.)  
• Elastic cord or jewelry wire  
• Scissors  
• Optional: tape to hold one end of the cord while stringing  

Steps

1. Cut a length of elastic cord or wire long enough for a bracelet or necklace, adding a little extra for tying.  
2. Show the children how to tape or pinch one end so the beads don’t slide off.  
3. Let them choose and string beads to create their own “Rebekah jewelry” bracelet or necklace.  
4. Help them tie the ends securely (double knot for elastic; twist for wire and tuck the ends).  

Simple Application
As they work, remind them that Abraham’s servant gave Rebekah jewelry as a sign that God had answered his prayer and led him to the right woman.  

Encourage kids to think of their jewelry as a reminder that God hears prayers, guides His people, and shows His love in special ways.

Use this as a fun review game to help kids remember key facts about Rebekah’s story.

Materials

• Hats – one fewer than the number of children (e.g., 9 kids = 8 hats)  
• Music player (phone, speaker, etc.)  

Setup

• Have the children sit in a circle with one hat on each lap, making sure there is one less hat than the number of players.  
• Explain that when the music plays, they will pass the hats around the circle.

How to Play

1. Start the music and have the children pass the hats from lap to lap around the circle.  
2. Stop the music suddenly. Everyone should try to have a hat on their lap.  
3. Any child without a hat is “out” for that round and must share one fact they learned about Rebekah or today’s Bible story (for example: “She gave water to the camels,” “She was kind,” “She traveled to marry Isaac”).  
4. Remove one hat from the circle and start the music again.  
5. Continue playing, sharing facts and removing a hat after each round, until only a few children are left or you are ready to stop.

Simple Application
Explain that just like they shared facts about Rebekah, God wants them to remember what they learn from the Bible and talk about it with others.

Encourage them to tell someone at home one thing they learned about Rebekah’s faith and kindness.

Use this as a fun, edible craft to help kids remember the special jewelry Abraham’s servant gave Rebekah as a sign of God’s answer to prayer.

Ingredients / Materials

• Cereal with holes (e.g., O-shaped cereal)  
• Candies with holes (e.g., ring-shaped or bead-style candy)  
• Elastic cord or clean shoestring licorice  
• Scissors  
• Small bowls or trays to hold cereal/candy  

Assembly Steps
1. Prepare the strings

• Cut lengths of elastic cord or licorice long enough to wrap around each child’s wrist, adding extra for tying.  
• If using elastic cord, you can double it for extra strength and knot the two ends together at one side.

2. Build the bracelet

• Show children how to plan a simple pattern (for example: cereal–candy–cereal–candy).  
• Have them slide cereal and candy pieces down the string, repeating their pattern until it is long enough to fit their wrist.  

3. Tie and finish  

•  Once they have enough cereal/candy to go around the wrist, help them tie the two ends of the string together with several secure knots.  
•  Trim any extra string and gently slide the knots so they rest between pieces.  

Simple Application
As they work, remind them that the servant gave Rebekah bracelets and other gifts to show that God had led him to the right person.

Encourage kids to think of their tasty bracelet as a reminder that God hears prayers and can guide them to the right choices and people in their own lives.

Use this as a simple water-carrying demo to help kids feel how big Rebekah’s act of kindness really was.

Materials

• Large bucket or tub (to be the “well”)  
• Several cups (plastic is best)  
• Water (enough to partially fill the bucket)  
• Optional: smaller container labeled “Camel” to pour into

Activity Steps

1. Fill the bucket partway with water and place it at one side of the room.  
2. Put an empty bucket or large container across the room to represent where the camels are waiting.  
3. Give one child a cup and have them:
   1.  Scoop water from the “well” bucket.  
   2.  Walk across the room and pour it into the “camel” bucket.  
4. Have them repeat this several times, then invite a few more children to help.  
5. Pause and ask:
   1. “Are your arms getting tired?”  
   2. “How many trips do you think it would take to water a whole group of camels?”  

Simple Application
Explain that Rebekah offered to draw water not only for the servant, but for *all* his camels, which would have meant many, many trips—hard work done cheerfully and generously.  

Encourage kids to think of ways they can show that same kind of generous heart at home, at school, or at church, even when it takes time and effort.
