The Floating Axehead

When the students at Gilgal needed to make an extra room and decided to build it themselves, they did not expect to witness a floating axehead! In this story we read about a miracle where a lost and sunken axehead floated to the surface of the water!

We have all lost things, and I’m sure many of us have turned to God to ask Him to help us find them. God cares enough about the little things in our lives to get involved and help out.

As a parent, this is a reminder to care about the “little things” that are important in my children’s lives and to be involved. If lost things aren’t too small for God, then paying attention to a story, or playing a little game for a few minutes, should be important enough for me to step away from the “busy” and engage in the little things too.

p.s. Yes, I know – a very different take on the story, and more for the parents this week!

2 Kings 6:1-7

Materials & Equipment

  • Printer
  • Paper
  • Colouring Tools

Instructions

  • Cut out the axehead, fold it in half. 
  • Place the popsicle stick in place – DO NOT glue the popsicle stick to the axehead. You want it loose enough that it can fling off the stick.
  • Glue around the stick and glue axehead sides together. 
  • Now, kids can act our loosing the axehead while working hard cutting up some wood.
