The following questions and answers were developed for our Vacation Bible School so that we could help kids learn about Jesus from a fresh perspective (namely, from the perspective of the Exodus).
To make these easier for the littler kids, we made parts of the answers bold, and those represent shorter phrases that are easier for the smaller children to memorize. For the older kids, we encourage them to learn the entire answer.
