The story of Jonah is a memorable one that a lot of students are likely familiar with. However, it is more than just a fish tale. Jonah is ultimately a lesson about redemption and salvation. This lesson illustrates for students the importance of second chances. Jonah and the people of Nineveh were given second chances by God, and we are, too! Itās a blessing to know that He offers us another shot time and again when we sin, and that He is with us to help us when we stumble.Ā
The wonderful thing about knowing we have second chances with God is that He provides for us. We donāt have to ājust give it another shotā or somehow pull ourselves up to fix things. God helps us and gives us what we need to accomplish His work. Just as He saved Jonah, He saves us when we fail and helps us do the right thing. Just as He allowed the people of Nineveh to repent and did not destroy the city, He allows us to repent and gave His Son to save us!

This packet was amazing for use when I had to be absent from school. I teach at a private Christian school and used this resource as part of my sub packet and it was everything I needed it to be. The kids loved it and the included craft. Will definitely recommend this resource to my fellow teachers.
Yes I love it so much
Thank-you so much for these resources. I recently volunteered to take the children under my wing during a bible study and this website is a Godsent
