From The Animated Stories From the Bible™
Joseph’s Reunion
By:
M. G. Ron Johnson, Pamela McClure,
Tony Salerno, and Katherine Vawter
Although most of the answers to each activity can be found by watching the “Joseph’s
Reunion” video, there are some additional facts that can only be obtained by referring to the
scriptures indicated in the Bible. You may want to read and discuss the entire biblical account
of “Joseph’s Reunion” (Genesis 41:54-46:29) with your child or family. Scriptures used in the
activity book are taken from the King James Version.
Nest Entertainment, Inc. hopes that this activity book will make your investment in The
Animated Stories from the Bible™ even more valuable as you use it to help your child develop
a greater love for reading the Bible.
LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY
The activities in this book are designed for three levels of difficulty from the perspective of
eight to ten-year-olds. An activity rated at one symbol will be easy for this age group. A two-
symbol activity will match their achievement level while they will find the three-symbol activity
more difficult.
