• The Beginner's Bible App  Stories:  Adam & Eve (Genesis 2); The Sneaky Snake (Genesis 3) (This app is good for several reasons.  As the text is read, each word is highlighted, so it's excellent for beginning readers.  This is an app version of The Beginner's Bible, so it's good to have the printed book for kids to use at home too. In class we wait until the text has been read and then take turns with the interactive parts.)

Sneaky Snake Song

Tune:  Skip to My Lou

God made Adam, then made Eve,

God made Adam, then made Eve,

God made Adam, then made Eve,

They lived in the Garden of Eden.

Eat the fruit from any tree,

Eat the fruit from any tree,

Eat the fruit from any tree,

Except the one in the middle

The sneaky snake told a lie,

The sneaky snake told a lie,

The sneaky snake told a lie,

You don’t have to mind God.

Say:  WHAT?!  Is that true?  No!

Eve took a bite from the No-No tree,

Eve took a bite from the No-No tree,

Eve took a bite from the No-No tree,

And shared a bite with Adam.

Adam and Eve didn’t mind God!

Adam and Eve didn’t mind God!

Adam and Eve didn’t mind God!

Did they really love Him?

Say:  The Bible says that if you love God you will keep his commandments.  That means you’ll mind Him.

Adam and Eve had to move away,

Adam and Eve had to move away,

Adam and Eve had to move away,

The Garden of Eden is closed now!

Vocabulary

Middle – Where is the middle?  Where does the No-No tree belong?
