Noah's Ark
A Family, An Ark, and a Rainbow
The Story
Genesis 6-9
Noah was a good man who loved God when everyone around him had forgotten about Him. One day, God told Noah something surprising — He was going to send a great flood!
God gave Noah very specific instructions: build a HUGE boat called an ark — longer than a football field! Noah worked for many years, trusting God the whole time.
When the ark was ready, God sent two of every animal to join Noah's family. Can you imagine — elephants, giraffes, lions, and tiny beetles, all on the same boat!
Rain poured down for 40 days and nights! But Noah's family and all the animals were safe. When the floods went down, a beautiful rainbow appeared — God's promise that He would never flood the whole earth again.
What Can We Learn?

God Keeps His Promises
The rainbow is God's sign that He always keeps His promises.
God Cares for All Creation
God saved the animals too! He cares for everything He made.
Memory Verse
“I have placed my rainbow in the clouds. It is the sign of my covenant with you and with all the earth.”
