COMMON GROUND:
Props: globe, World Map (it can simply be a picture on your phone)
Place a globe or a photo of all the continents on the table. Then begin to show the different continents and seas. Mention different countries and the animals that are native to those countries. For example: "Australia is known for kangaroos."
Ask: How many animals do you think are in the world? (Allow for answers) Scientists estimate that there are more than 8 million kinds of animals! Do you know how they were created? Let's find out!

Read the Word:
Props: A Bible
Let's start reading at the very beginning! The first book of the bible is Genesis. It tells us about the beginning of the universe, when only God existed. No one created God. God has always existed. The Bible tells us that God created everything! Let's see how that happened!
Genesis 1:1-19 (ERV)
The Beginning of the World
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. At first, the earth was completely empty. There was nothing on the earth. Darkness covered the ocean, and God’s Spirit moved over the water.
The First Day—Light
Then God said, “Let there be light!” And light began to shine. He saw the light, and he knew that it was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness. God named the light “day,” and he named the darkness “night.” There was evening, and then there was morning. This was the first day.
The Second Day—Sky
Then God said, “Let there be a space to separate the water into two parts!” So God made the space and separated the water. Some of the water was above it, and some of the water was below it. God named that space “sky.” There was evening, and then there was morning. This was the second day.
The Third Day—Dry Land and Plants
Then God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered together so that the dry land will appear.” And it happened. God named the dry land “earth,” and he named the water that was gathered together “seas.” And God saw that this was good. Then God said, “Let the earth grow grass, plants that make grain, and fruit trees. The fruit trees will make fruit with seeds in it. And each plant will make its own kind of seed. Let these plants grow on the earth.” And it happened. The earth grew grass and plants that made grain. And it grew trees that made fruit with seeds in it. Every plant made its own kind of seeds. And God saw that this was good. There was evening, and then there was morning. This was the third day.
The Fourth Day—Sun, Moon, and Stars
Then God said, “Let there be lights in the sky. These lights will separate the days from the nights. They will be used for signs to show when special meetings begin and to show the days and years. They will be in the sky to shine light on the earth.” And it happened. So God made the two large lights. He made the larger light to rule during the day and the smaller light to rule during the night. He also made the stars. God put these lights in the sky to shine on the earth. He put them in the sky to rule over the day and over the night. They separated the light from the darkness. And God saw that this was good. There was evening, and then there was morning. This was the fourth day.

Memorize:
Let's memorize the first verse in the bible, "In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth."
Like Jesus
Before God created the heavens and the earth, nothing existed except Him! No one created God. God has always existed and will always exist. So why did God make the sun, moon, earth, starts, people and animals? The reason why is so that they could show how WONDERFUL God was! That means they were created for His Glory!
The Bible says that Jesus is Lord over all of creation. Everything was created by Him and for Him. HE has always existed, and He holds everything together. (Col.1:16-17)
The first thing God ever did was create. And since Jesus created everything (ask your child) what have you ever created? What would you like to create?
