Food & Fun
This or That?
Read these Old Testament scriptures and ask your friends and family these silly questions. Then try to think of your own!
Heavenly Father commanded Adam and Eve to care for the land and animals (see Genesis 1:26).
Would you rather care for a garden or a pet?
After Moses parted the Red Sea, the Israelites danced and sang to thank the Lord for freeing them from Egypt (see Exodus 15:1, 20).
Would you rather learn a dance or a song?
The Lord commanded Noah to bring two animals of every kind onto the ark (see Genesis 6:19).
Would you rather pet a giant snake or a grizzly bear?
When the people tried to reach heaven by building the Tower of Babel, God changed their languages so they couldn’t understand each other (see Genesis 11:7).
Would you rather speak every language or write in every language?
The Lord helped David defeat Goliath because of David’s faith, even though David wasn’t as big or strong as Goliath (see 1 Samuel 17:45–49).
Would you rather have super strength or super speed?
