How to play
- Drag the borrowed jars into the room without overlapping them; turn a jar if that control is available.
- When every jar fits, close the door and watch the story scene.
- Drag the event pictures into order, from borrowing vessels to paying the debt.
Learning through play
Children practise fitting shapes into a shared space and planning around pieces already placed. The final sequence asks them to recall the events in 2 Kings 4:1–7, keeping the packing puzzle distinct from the reason the oil was provided.
For Sunday school, homeschool or play at home. Younger children can play alongside an adult.
About the Bible story
Elisha told a widow to borrow empty vessels. She poured oil until the vessels were filled, then sold the oil to pay her debt. The room layout and jar shapes are a model.
