Jonah and the Whale

Our Bible story this month is Jonah and the Whale.  We've read books about Jonah and talked about how he learned to obey God; retold the story using puppets and felt boards; did some Jonah coloring sheets; and sang our Jonah and the Whale song!

Jonah and the Whale Song

sing to the tune of "London Bridge"

God asked Jonah to obey
To obey,
to obey,
God asked Jonah to obey
But he said No.  (Shake finger No!)

Jonah was swallowed by a whale
By a whale,
By a whale,
Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
Swallowed whole!
(rub tummy at the end)

Jonah prayed to God above
God above,
God above,
Jonah prayed to God above
And was forgiven!
(hold hands in prayer position at the end)
