In this God’s Promises to Abraham Preschool Bible Lesson, children learn about the special promises God made to Abraham. God called Abraham to leave his home and travel to a new land. Abraham trusted God and obeyed Him. Along the way, God made three wonderful promises to Abraham. God promised Abraham a big family, a land for his family, and a special blessing through Jesus.
This lesson follows directly after the Tower of Babel Preschool Bible Lesson. In the previous lesson, children learned that God wants us to listen to Him and obey Him. Now children meet Abraham, who trusted God and obeyed Him when God called him to go to a new land.
Rather than focusing on every detail of Abraham’s life, this lesson centers on one simple truth:
God made special promises to Abraham.
This post explains how the God’s Promises to Abraham Preschool Bible Lesson works, why the activities support spiritual understanding, and how the lesson helps preschoolers understand God’s promises in a simple and age-appropriate way.
Connecting to the Tower of Babel
The God’s Promises to Abraham Preschool Bible Lesson begins with a short review of the previous lesson.
Children remember:
Listen to God. Obey God.
Many years after the Tower of Babel, a man named Abraham was born.
Abraham loved God.
One day, God told Abraham to leave his home and go to a new land.
Abraham trusted God and obeyed Him.
This simple review helps children connect the lessons and understand that God had a special plan for Abraham.
Reading the Story in the God’s Promises to Abraham Preschool Bible Lesson
Next, children listen to the story from Genesis 12 and discover the special promises God made to Abraham.
Children first learn that Abraham and Sarah lived in the city of Ur and loved God.
God spoke to Abraham and made three special promises.
- God promised Abraham a big family.
- God promised Abraham a new land.
- God also promised that one day a special Savior would come through Abraham’s family.
When God told Abraham to go, Abraham and Sarah obeyed God and left their home.
Later, Abraham and Sarah waited patiently and trusted God.
Eventually, God kept His promise and baby Isaac was born.
Throughout the lesson, children hear the lesson truth:
God made special promises to Abraham.
Interactive Retelling Activity: Pack and Travel with Abraham
To help children understand the story, the lesson includes a simple retelling activity.
Children help Abraham and Sarah pack their belongings into a suitcase.
As the story is retold, children pretend to travel with Abraham and Sarah.
They march around the room and then gather inside a tent.
One night, God brought Abraham outside and showed him the stars.
Teachers use three promise cards to introduce the special promises God made to Abraham.
Children learn that God promised Abraham:
A big family.
A land for his family.
A special blessing through Jesus.
Throughout the activity, children repeat the lesson truth:
God made special promises to Abraham.
This hands on activity helps children understand the story and remember the promises God made to Abraham.
Whole Group Sorting Activity
The lesson also includes a whole group sorting activity.
Children sort picture cards under two headings:
Promised to Abraham
Not Promised to Abraham
As children discuss each picture, they learn that God promised Abraham:
A big family.
A land for his family.
A special blessing through Jesus.
This activity helps children review the story in a simple and concrete way.
Craft Activity: God’s Three Promises to Abraham
To reinforce the lesson, children complete a simple number 3 craft.
Children color the pictures showing God’s three promises and add star stickers around the top section.
As they work, the teacher reviews the promises:
- God promised Abraham a big family.
- God promised Abraham a land for his family.
- God promised Abraham a special blessing through Jesus.
The finished craft gives children a visual reminder of the lesson.
Reviewing the Bible Truth in the God’s Promises to Abraham Preschool Bible Lesson
At the end of the lesson, children review the main events.
Teachers ask simple questions such as:
Who spoke to Abraham?
Did Abraham trust God?
What did God promise Abraham?
Who was the special person God promised?
Children repeat the lesson truth together:
God made special promises to Abraham.
This review helps children remember the story and prepares them for prayer.
God’s Promises to Abraham Take Home Booklet
Each child receives a take home booklet that retells the story.
The booklet includes simple story pages, a maze activity, tracing, and coloring pages that help children remember what they learned.
Families can use the booklet at home to talk about the story and review the three promises God made to Abraham.
Why This God’s Promises to Abraham Preschool Bible Lesson Works
This God’s Promises to Abraham Preschool Bible Lesson works well because it builds naturally on the previous lessons.
Children first learned that Noah obeyed God.
Then they learned that God kept Noah safe.
Next they learned that God keeps His promises.
Then they learned that God wants us to listen to Him and obey Him.
Now they learn that God made special promises to Abraham.
The lesson uses repetition, movement, storytelling, and hands on activities to help preschoolers understand one clear truth:
God made special promises to Abraham.
By keeping the focus simple and developmentally appropriate, children leave the lesson with a clear understanding that God made wonderful promises to Abraham and that Abraham trusted God.

I would love to use the large activity for God promising 3 things to Abraham. I would like to print out the number 3 above. Would that be okay? Where do I go to do that?
This is what I exactly wanted to. Thank you for sharing your resources. I will try to my Kindergarten students.
Thanks again.
I would like the three promises to Abraham craft.
Thank you so much for making it so easy to download and access this craft. Im teaching ages 2-5 at our church, and I really wanted them to remember the 3 promises. This will be a great visual for the little ones!
Thank you so much for the fun ideas, my class loved the lesson today. Instead of unpacking the suitcase, I had them help me pack it before we went on our “journey”. When we reached out “tent” the children got in, we turned off the lights, and I turned on a star projector. I had the children come out of the tent and while they watched the stars I finished the rest of the story.
Wow, that sounds incredible, Sofie! 🌟 I love how you turned the story into a full experience — packing the suitcase together and watching the stars inside the tent is such a beautiful, memorable touch. What a wonderful way to help the children feel like they were really part of Abraham’s journey! Thank you so much for sharing your idea — I’m sure other teachers will love trying it too. 💛
I love this lesson and these crafts!! Thank you for sharing with us!!
Angel, I’m so glad you enjoyed the lesson! ✨
