The stories of Abraham are some of the most beloved in the Bible. It’s important that your children begin hearing these stories and learning their truths. One of the best and most proficient ways of reviewing Bible stories with children is by asking the ever famous 5 “W” questions – who, what, when, where, why and how (for extra measure). Here are 2 sets of questions that follow the 5 “W”s along with their answers for the stories of “Abraham’s Journey” and “God’s Promise to Abraham” found in Genesis 12 and 15. You can ask the questions or you could have a nice hand or finger puppet do the asking. Have fun!
