No Prep Plans: Pharaoh & Power-(Leadership Comparison Board) Grades 6-8

No Prep Plans: Exodus Volume 1 – Moses & Freedom
Pharaoh & Power
Bible Study + Project (Leadership Comparison Board)
Grades 6-8

Explore one of the Bible's most compelling leadership contrasts as students compare Pharaoh's pride and worldly authority with Moses' humility and dependence on God. Through Scripture investigation, research, project planning, and personal reflection, students will create a Leadership Comparison Board that examines two very different approaches to leadership and challenges them to consider what kind of leader they want to become.

Designed for Grades 6–8, this engaging project-based lesson combines biblical literacy, critical thinking, collaboration, and meaningful faith application while encouraging students to connect ancient biblical truths to their own lives.

Part of the No Prep Plans: Old Testament Series, a growing collection of project-based Bible studies designed to help middle school students engage deeply with Scripture through research, creativity, collaboration, and thoughtful personal application.
