But God knew Elijah and knew that his heart was devoted to serving. He healed people, went up against the evil queen and king, and often had to run away only known or cared for by God. Review some of the significant events in Elijah’s life. Discuss his conflict with the wicked king and queen and how God cared for him by the river. Remind students of who Elijah was (especially if following up on previous introductory lesson). Explain that today we are going to see someone who never had to die, but went straight to heaven! It was Elijah! (If you have already discussed Elijah, this can be the final follow up). Then, take a balloon or two (helium-filled) and let it go to watch it float into the air. With older students, you may be able to hold a piggyback race or have them link arms underneath a third person to carry them around. All three must gallop around the playing area to “race” their chariots. Two students are in the back holding one hand on the shoulder of the student in front. Start out with a “chariot race” where kids are working in teams of three. Bible Lesson Opening:Ĭhariot race and off into the sky…take students outside for a couple of simple games. Optional Coloring Sheet: The picture above is from our Elijah Coloring Pages. Materials Needed: Small paper plates or cardboard made to look like steering wheels, craft captions, string, decorative materials (markers, stickers, etc.). Target Audience: Kindergarten-6 th Grade (adaptable older or younger)

Lesson focus: Everything comes to an end, but GOD is everlasting and faithful and will make sure we are always in good hands and leadership. This Bible story would be a perfect lesson for Sunday School or a Family Discipleship setting. In this lesson, we see him turn over the responsibility to Elisha and then take off to heaven, away to the sky without having to die. But he knew that he would not be around forever and eventually had to hand off his duties to someone else.
