My Sunday School teacher told us how to divide the bible into 17 time periods, BACKGROUND: I have not gone to a sunday school class in 14 weeks give or take, there were kids aged 13 who could answer it (i'm 18).

Now here is what I do remember the question is can you fill in the blanks for me I forgot them and don't want to look like a idiot again.

- Creation
-Flood
...
last three were as follows
-Formation of church
- Message to Christians

was wondering if some one knows that the church is a non denominational Church of Christ

P.S Ignore my spelling/grammar(i'm a math/econ major not a English !!!!!)
 
I'm sorry you haven't been able to go to services for so long and weren't able to find the material you requested. Below I have the list you were looking for and included the hand movements that are for younger children learning this information. Maybe you can use it to help others.

17 Time Periods of the Bible
List by Waldrons, hand movements by Ed Smith family.

Before the Flood - Hands and arms shaping the world.
The Flood - Arms out, palms down and swing back and forth from center out - on level plane.
Scattering of the People - Wiggle fingers and the hands “wanders” away from you.
First Fathers - One hand outstretched as if holding a "staff" .
Exodus from Egypt - Two palms together and then "separate" the Red Sea.
Wandering in the Wilderness - One hand palm up with fingers of the other hand "wandering over the other palm, while the palm is also moving in a semi circle.
Conquer and Divide the Land - Action of drawing arrow back from the bow and releasing the arrow. Then one hand “slicing” the other hand.
The Judges - One hand flat, palm down and the other in a fist hitting hand as if a gavel.
United Kingdom - Hold hands together.
Divided Kingdom - Separate fisted hands one above the other.
Judah Alone - Make top fisted hand disappear behind your back.
Captivity - Two fisted hands held up together in front of chest as if chained together, palms facing you.
Return From Captivity - Open palms brought to chest.
Years of Silence - Finger to lips.
The Life of Christ - The sign for Christ in International Sign Language – Each middle finger touching the other palm back and forth (representing the nails).
The Beginning of the Church - invert fingers laced together and hold up showing all fingers upward.
Letters to the Christians - “Write” on the palm of the other hand.
