Nursery Bible Game: Jericho Is Falling Down Song

This song is sung to the tune of “London Bridge is Falling Down.” Encourage them to do the motions in parentheses.

March around the wall today. (kids march around in a circle)
Step-step-step;
Shout, “Hoo-ray!” (shout)
March around the wall today.
God will help us. (everyone points to heaven)

Jericho is falling down, (have kids hold hands and march in a circle)
Falling down,
Falling down.
Jericho is falling down
To the ground. (everyone sits on the floor)

Adapted from Group’s Hands-On Bible Curriculum for Toddlers and 2’s.

What if Jesus taught your kids? The Bible gives us lots of examples of how Jesus did it 2,000 years ago. He used everyday objects like coins, fish, and plants to help people remember the truths he shared with them.

Hands-On Bible Curriculum does the same thing. We call them “gizmos,” and they serve the same purpose: To help kids understand important Bible truths. It worked for Jesus, and it still works today.
