Genesis 1 · Grade 3
Six Days of Creation
Read the Story
Genesis 1 tells us how the world began. God made everything by His word. When God spoke, it happened!
Day 1: God made light and separated it from the darkness. Day 2: God made the sky. Day 3: God gathered the waters into seas, made dry land appear, and filled the land with plants and fruit trees. Day 4: God made the sun, moon and stars. Day 5: God filled the seas with sea creatures and the sky with birds. Day 6: God made land animals, and then He made people.
People are special. God made man and woman in His own image. He blessed them and gave them the job of caring for His creation. When God was finished, He saw that everything He had made was very good.
