Cain and Abel: God Sees the Truth — Grades 1–3 Sunday School Lesson

Free grades 1–3 Sunday school lesson on Genesis 4:1–16. This reviewed seven-page volunteer edition includes passage-specific background, a teaching script, 45-minute plan, reproducible Bible worksheet with answer key, printable sequencing cards, and a family page. Cain and Abel bring gifts; God warns angry Cain; Cain kills Abel; God questions and judges Cain and restrains revenge. The guide does not invent a reason for God’s regard of Abel’s offering or an appearance for Cain’s mark.

Memory verse: “For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.” 1 John 3:11, KJV. This later Bible connection is distinguished from Genesis 4. The gospel is sourced to 1 Corinthians 15:3–4, and the teacher guide includes safety guidance. Read the passage in your preferred translation.
