Genesis 2
God had planted a beautiful garden for Adam in a place called Eden. A river flowed through the garden.
Adam loved his new home. His job was to name all the animals and care for the garden. Adam loved all the animals, but he could not find a friend that was just right for him. So God created a woman.
Adam named her Eve. She was just right for Adam. Adam and Eve loved each other. Together they took care of God’s garden.

Singing:
A Special Book
(tune of The Mulberry Bush )
The Bible is a special book, Special book, special book. The Bible is a special book, My teacher reads to me.
It tells of people long ago. Long ago, long ago.
It tells of people long ago. And God’s great love for me.
Game:
Let’s play a game to help us remember that we are all special. If you hear me say, “If you’re special” before the directions, do what I say. For example, I might say, “If you’re special, stand up.” (Have the every- one stand up.) You’ll have to listen carefully. Don’t follow my directions unless you hear me say, “If you’re special.”
- If you’re special, hug yourself. If you’re special, shake a some- one’s hand.
- If you’re a mouse, crawl on the floor.
- If you’re strong, make a fist.
- If you’re special, pat someone on the back.
- If you’re special, hug someone. If you’re in our family, sit down.
- If you’re special, jump up and down and shout, “I’m special!”
