Lost in the Forest

Stories with Esther & Poppy for GIGI Kids

“It’s getting dark,” said Kate, looking up at the sky. “It’ll be night soon. Should we try to come back the way we came?” “I don’t think so,” said Naomi. “We might somehow end up deeper in the forest.

The castle didn’t seem so important anymore. Suddenly, there was a snap of twigs ahead of them. “What-what was that?” Kate stammered. “I don’t know,” Naomi whispered.

Today's story is found in the book of Genesis 11:1-9. All about the greatest tower in the world back in bible times: The tower of Babel.

Jambo! Bonjour! Konnichiwa! We’re saying hello in different languages.

What language do you speak? If you’re listening to this story, you are hearing it in English. Some of you can speak other languages, like Mandarin, or Spanish, or maybe even Arabic!

Well, this story is about a group of people who could all speak only one language—but it wasn’t a good thing! Let’s find out why…

After the big flood that covered the whole earth, God told everyone on board to spread out all over the world. The animals got off the ark and went to find new homes, in the mountains, the lakes, the forests and the deserts. Noah and his family got off the ark too, and as the years went by, the family grew and grew until there were lots of people living on the earth once again.

But they didn’t adventure across the earth. They all stayed together. This wasn’t what God had told them to do.

One day, this big group of people decided to find a new home. They moved all their things into a big desert area, and made lots of bricks to use for homes.

But then, someone had an idea.

“Hey, everyone!” said a person. “Why don’t we build a city with a tower?”

The people liked this.....

To listen to the whole story, find a comfortable chair or cosy corner and enjoy!
