OT 03 The Fall of Man

Reference: Genesis 3

Story Summary:
   After making Adam and Eve, God placed them into a garden. He told them they could eat from any tree in the garden except for one, the Tree of the Knowledge of the Good and Evil. If they ate from that tree, they would die, God said.
   One day, the devil, in the form of a serpent, came to Eve. The serpent tempted Eve to eat from the forbidden tree. Eve believed the serpent instead of God. She ate the forbidden fruit and gave some to her husband, Adam.
   Because they had done evil, God cursed Adam, Eve, and the serpent.

Big Idea and Motions: When Adam and Eve sinned, all people were cursed.
Adam - pretend to itch your beard
Eve - pretend to brush your long hair
Sinned - two thumbs down
All people - gesture your arms in a wide circle
Cursed - punch your palm

Verse / Motions: 1 Corinthians 15:22, ESV - For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
Adam - droop your body and look sad
All - gesture your arms in a wide circle
Die - cross your arms in an X over your chest, bow your head and close your eyes
Christ - form a cross with your forearms
All - same as before
Made alive - thrust your hands in the air and jump up
