Biography of Moses Unit Study

Your kids can learn about the Old Testament prophet Moses’ life story with this fun biography of Moses unit study.

Children are concrete thinkers. They love story, and read-alouds are wonderful. By adding crafts and a notebooking / narration tool, like a lapbook, to a book we can create a unit study that will help make an abstract story more concrete for our kids. And, we can turn learning about a story from a biblical worldview into a Bible study.

Moses’ Biography

Moses, God’s chosen prophet during the time of the Exodus, was a humble man who believed God. He knew God face to face, wrote five books of the Bible, and led God’s people from slavery. God’s Word treats Moses as a significant figure–mentioning Moses almost 700 times. Our children will grow in faith and knowledge as they learn more about Moses, who was protected by God as a baby, who fled the consequences of his sin at age 40, was called to serve God at age 80, and finally died at age 120–overlooking the Promised Land God banned him from entering.

This fun unit study will help your children learn all about the man God chose to serve him and his people, the Israelites.

Biography of Moses Unit Study

The story of Moses, God’s prophet, is exciting. It’s the story of God calling a people to himself. Through Moses, God led the Israelites from slavery in Egypt to the edge of the Promised Land. God spoke through Moses to teach his people who he is and how to worship him. Even as the man who knew God face to face, Moses remained humble, caring for God’s people even as they grumbled. Today, we still read the words of God through Moses in the first five books of the Bible.

Your unit study on Moses, the man who knew God face to face, includes a fun, 95-page biography, Who Was Moses?. Your children will learn about the life, times, and impact of God’s important prophet.

• Who Was Moses? by Danika Cooley | Who Was Moses? (Christian Focus Publications, 2024) is a fun way for kids to learn about the man God called to be his prophet, to write the first five books of the Bible, and to lead God’s people out of slavery in Egypt during the Exodus.

Christian History Matters for Our Kids.

History matters. Now, more than ever, we see how important it is for our children to know and understand history and the Bible.

Here’s why:

• God is the sovereign ruler of all things. It’s important for our kids to see his hand in the history of nations and in the lives of both peasants and kings. 
• Christian history is the story of our family history. Our kids get to see how people who love Jesus follow him.
• Understanding history can help our kids learn historic and biblical theology. They learn what the Bible says and what that means for us. They also see when the study of Scripture has taken important turns that have changed the Church.   
• Reading Christian biographies and history can be a wonderful way for kids to think outside their own time and culture. God’s Church spans centuries and includes people from every nation.    
• Christian biographies help kids consider their own faith, walk with Jesus, and the impact their witness may one day have on others–and on history. 

Elementary-aged kids need middle grade resources that are fun, a little sassy, and that teach valuable lessons. 

The Who What Why Series is the perfect resource to teach your kids about history, while helping them apply biblical truths to their lives today.
