Who/What
Who - Noah’s family, God, and the tower of Babel
What - God told the people to spread out around the earth and multiply. Instead, people wanted to build a tall tower up to heaven to prove that they were just like God. This did not please God, so He made it so that every person spoke a different language. They got confused and spread out across the land, worshipping God.
What does the word ‘Babel’ mean in Hebrew? (Hint - look at Genesis 11:9 That is why it was called Babel - because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.”
Babel means ‘confusion’ in Hebrew

Who - Noah, Noah’s family, the ark, and the covenant

Roughly how many years did it take Noah to build the ark? (the Bible doesn’t exactly say, but it gives us an estimate)
Roughly 100 years!
