Cain and Abel, the first murder. The first “dysfunctional” family. These lessons teach kids about it in a way that is appropriate for their age level.

In the older kids’ lesson, kids are encouraged to dive into the account themselves and study it, with their teacher’s guidance. The younger kids’ lesson focuses on Cain letting his emotions explode (and has a cool object lesson)! Both lessons explore why it’s important to control our emotions before they control us.

Each lesson has a Lesson from God’s Word, a connection to Christ and Gospel Presentation, a memory verse activity and an exciting game, plus some other optional activities.
