Let’s say hello to Eve! is our first bible story in a new series all about women in the Bible . Eve was the first woman in the Bible so we are beginning with her. It’s a good place to start!
In this story we focus on a few things
- God made Adam
- God made Eve
The Bible Story is based on Genesis 2: 4 -24
Let’s say hello to Eve Bible Story
In the storybag have puppets or dolls to represent Adam and Eve (don’t worry too much about whether or not they are wearing clothes)
Say hello to Adam! Now Adam was a real person who lived a long, long, long time ago. He was very special because he was the very first person ever! He wasn’t ever a baby! He wasn’t ever a toddler! So how did he get to be the first person ever?
The Bible tells us that God made Adam. God had already made the birds and the fish, the sun, moon and stars. God had already made all the trees, plants and flowers. He had already made the elephants, tigers, lions and all the other animals. Everything in God’s new world was beautiful. It was all very good! God had made all these things by just speaking.
But then God did something different. He made Adam out of the dust. And God breathed life into him.
Now Adam needed somewhere to live so God made a beautiful garden for Adam. He gave Adam a job to do, ‘Look after the garden,’ God said. He gave Adam one rule to keep,’ Don’t eat the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden,’ God said.
But when God looked at Adam in the garden there was something that wasn’t good! ‘It isn’t good for Adam to be alone’, God said. There were lots of beautiful plants and amazing animals but they weren’t enough.
So God made Eve, the very first woman to be Adam’s best friend. Are you ready to say hello to Eve? Hello Eve!
Adam and Eve weren’t just the very first man and the very first woman, they were the very first family. God loved them and gave them the very best place to live. And they were happy!
If you want to tell the next part of the story then there is an idea in this post that covers Genesis 3.
