Long ago, when the world was brand new, after God created the blue sky, the green grass, the twinkling stars, and the big and tiny animals, too, God wanted to make something extra special: the first man and woman.
Making Adam (Genesis 1:27 ICB)
God used His hand to create the first man. He took some dust (sand) from the ground and shaped it into the very first man. Then, God breathed a “breath of life” into the man’s nose. The breath of God represents the spirit that gives life to man. God named him Adam.
God didn’t want Adam to be lonely, so He gave him a special helper (Genesis 2:18). While Adam was sleeping, God took one of Adam’s ribs to create a woman (Genesis 2:22). When Adam woke up, he was so happy. He called her a woman because she was made from a man.
The Garden of Eden
God gave Adam and Eve a wonderful home called the Garden of Eden. It was the most beautiful place.
Tree: Every tree in the garden is a fruit-bearing tree; they give food and shelter to Adam and his wife. Imagine a tree having the sweetest snacks: sweet mangoes, crunchy apples, and juicy berries.
Animals: Imagine lions that acted like house cats and bears that were as gentle as giant pillows. Adam’s first job was to give every animal its name, and whatever Adam called them became what they are. (Genesis 2:19)
The Rule: God gave them only one rule. He said, “You may eat the fruit from any tree in the garden. But you must not eat from the tree which gives Knowledge of Good and Evil. If you ever eat fruit from that tree, you will die.” (Genesis 2:16-17 ICB)
Adam’s Big Job
God gave Adam a very important job. He asked Adam to:
- Take care of the beautiful garden. (Genesis 2:15)
- Give names to every single animal, from the tall giraffes to the hopping bunnies. (Genesis 2:19)
Adam and Eve lived happily in their garden home, surrounded by all the amazing things God had made for them.

This worksheet transforms the foundational story of Genesis into a hands-on, scripture-based spiritual learning experience, with creative exercises that help shape their spiritual and academic life.
What’s Inside the worksheet?
This resource is structured to guide children through the narrative of the first man and woman with clear, easy-to-follow sections:
Animal Matching: “Connect the Name”
In this activity, children draw lines to match charming illustrations of a lion, an elephant, a bunny, and a bird to their written names. This builds word-image associations and early literacy skills. It reinforces the biblical narrative of Adam naming the animals while helping children recognise letter sounds and animal characteristics.
Story Mastery: “Fill-in-the-Blanks”
Children complete sentences about the creation of the first man and the origin of Eve. This encourages reading comprehension and memory retention. By physically writing names like “Adam” and “rib,” children solidify their understanding of the key facts within the Genesis narrative and how God uses his own hands to form man.
Fact-Checking: “True or False”
A series of simple statements (e.g., “God made everything”) with checkboxes for the child to think through. This introduces critical thinking and basic logic. It teaches children how to verify information against what they have learned, boosting their confidence in their own knowledge.
Creation Recognition: “Circle the Wonders”
A visual identification task in which kids circle items such as a cake, a Bible, an elephant, and a sun. This activity sharpens categorisation skills. It helps younger children distinguish between natural elements created by God and man-made objects, fostering a sense of awe for the natural world.
The Memory Verse: “Heart & Mind”
A beautifully framed section featuring Genesis 1:27, designed for recitation and memorisation. This helps the children develop long-term memory and makes their hearts a template of God’s word. The decorative floral border also provides a calming visual cue, making the verse feel like a “treasure” to be kept.
Tracing Words
Dotted-line guides for the words “Adam,” “Eve,” and “Eden.” Tracing helps children master letter shapes and improve their handwriting stamina, all while being rooted in the bible “characters”.
