Sabbath Nature Treasure Hunt

Here is a really fun treasure hunt that you can do this fall with your family. It's great for the Sabbath if you need a special activity!

1. Find 3 different leaves. Share together what their characteristics tell you about God.
2. Look for a bird. Consider God's care for all His creatures. Can you think of a Bible cerse that talks about birds?
3. Look for tree limbs or tree trunks that are shaped like a letter of the alphabet. Which Bible name (character or place) begins with that letter? (this was a favorite for us!)
4. Spend some time looking at the lake. What Bible story do you think of that speaks of water?
5. Find a nature object that looks like some type of animal. What "animal" texts can you find in the Bible?
6. Look for any kind of bug. What is the bug doing? How does that bug help its environment?
7. Look for an object lesson from something you see on your walk. Each person may see a different object lesson or you may have one per group. Share your object lesson(s).

I just going to say straight up that I'm partial to Samuel David (my son)... a constant reminder that God hears. The names Daniel (God is my Judge) and Joshua (Jehovah is God) do, however, run a close second.

Of course, you are welcome to the name 'Samuel David' ;)

Thanks, Amy. This will be a handy exercise for my tiny tot... I'm always open to new ideas for Sabbath. :)
