The story of Joseph, found in Genesis 37-50, is filled with many ups and downs. He went from being sold into slavery by his jealous brothers, to being unfairly thrown in jail, to interrupting the Pharaoh's dreams, and eventually helping save his family when he became 2nd in command of Egypt. Through each high and low, God never abandoned Joseph—He was always with him and had a plan! When you're teaching your Joseph's story in Sunday School or VBS these activities will be a great addition to your lesson plan!

Kid-Size Coat of Many Colors

When I'm planning Bible lessons, I like to use items that will grab my student's attention. It's amazing how engaged your students will be if you have a fun attention-getter! This Kid-Size Coat of Many Colors Robe is great for your Joseph Sunday School lesson. You can put it in a bag or box and have students pull it out before the lesson to guess about whom they will learn. (Or have a volunteer come up and wear it and have them help you act out the story.) There are so many possibilities for it!
