Sunday School Ideas - Two Bible Crafts to Incorporate Into Your Lessons

Children's liturgy is the perfect place for the youth of your religious congregation to gather together and learn about the teachings of the Bible. But coming up with exciting and interesting Sunday school ideas can be a difficult task. Here are two Sunday school crafts to share with your class.

Finger Painting Bible Craft

This Sunday school idea is perfect for your Sunday school curriculum. You'll need the following:

*Plastic pots of diluted finger pants
*Large sheets of paper for each student
*Plastic table covers
*Paint smocks

After explaining to the children's liturgy that God gives us many things to enjoy, make sure that their clothing is protected with a smock. Now hand out the paper and instruct the children to draw, with their fingers, the things that they are thankful for. These could include flowers, their family and friends, books, favorite toys, etc.

Set aside the sheets of paper to allow to dry. Then show the art class, noting how many things there are to thank God for sure that students clean their hands thoroughly, and send them back to their Bible Crafts designs to share with their families.

Growing Seeds Sunday School Craft

This Bible is for business to help your class learn Bible verses based on the size of the heart. You need the following for each student:

* Styrofoam cups
* Potting soil
* Craft sticks
* Quick germination of seeds (maize, beans,peas or maize)
*Felt-tipped pen

Help your children's liturgy fill the cups up about three-quarters with the soil. Then help them plant three or four seeds at a depth of about 20 mm. Water the soil, and then have your class write their names on one end of their craft stick. On the other side of the stick, write "Your word is like a seed" and insert it into the soil. By the following week, the seeds should have germinated, and the kids will be able to take their plant home.

The Sunday School lesson of this idea is that the Bible says that we must maintain the heart the word of God in us. So we have to learn verses by heart. , Memorizing verses of the Bible, the Word of God grows like a seed in our hearts.

Home School - How do your children a proper education

As homeschooling parents, I would give my children the best education possible. But what makes a good education?

Good is a subjective term, I can tell you what I think a good education. I think in terms of results.

What I want my children out of their education?

I love my children to learn. I want my children happy, by "experts" to develop the topics that interest them. I want to wake up to ask my children whatto meet that day. I want my child to research or ask me for help, how to write a word because he is writing a story. I would ask my daughter how to solve a problem of algebra, because it is the study of bacteria. You should be able to read magazines and a sense of them. You must be able to be able to separate the wheat from the chafe when does everything. My children need to understand how their community and country, and has no idea what happens in the world. My childrenshould be able to adapt to new technologies and changing social, political and physical environment. I want my children to be good contributing members of society.

What kind of education to achieve this?

I am convinced that the worksheets, the bells of the school and the long hours not to promote in schools the way to a love of learning in children.

The game is important for learning. A book called Einstein never used flash cards tells how little playing time makes children happy andchildren "catch up" with their colleagues in the second class, even if they are dancing lessons, swimming lessons, piano lessons, and a kindergarten curriculum rigid.

A blurb in the 20th called in January 2009 issue of Science Report Calls for New Look as written outside of school about what is important to learn science in an informal context and that science is learned in many different contexts. The schools are burdened with many requests for teaching, andLove of learning can not stand the bureaucracy of the school.

An article in the February / March 2009 issue of Scientific American Mind called the serious need for the games is a point that "free, imaginative play crucial for normal social, emotional and cognitive development. We are more adequate, more intelligent and less he said. "

I have read many books and articles, the best way to promote the love of learning in children, and I developed my program of home schooling for my childrenOn the basis of this.

The minimum

Children have a minimal amount of "work" they need to do any work. Need to practice their piano every day, but I'm just playing with them for five minutes, okay. You should read every day. Do not track my daughter to read, because she reads all the time. My son is not a bookworm again, then I sit down with him and have him sleep with me for fifteen minutes every day. My son has a number of write every day, and my daughter needs to writeSales every day. You also need to do some type of physical activity every day. Both children need some kind of math to do every day, even playing Monopoly with her dad or keep score in a game of Scrabble.

In addition to the minimum requirements, I set some goals for them. My daughter has at least one book report per month. My son has set some goals to give learning.

All these activities are their responsibility. If they do their minimum, you get to play, orwhatever.

Documentation

When my children a documentary by the History Channel, NOVA, or want to watch Discovery Channel, I leave them. I watch the show with the kids, so I can answer questions that could, but when my 7 years old, takes a documentary on string theory to see him get to watch. The children collect an amazing amount of information, and they understand much more than I expected.

The library

We go to the library a lot. Ifchildren want to play with the animals of the jungle of plastic, let them. If you want to find how long a ladybug, I leave them.

Excursions

When children ask to go to the Museum of Science, the program, and I take it. My husband and I take plays that seem appropriate. In essence, if the children show a continued interest in a topic, if it is reasonably within our means, we will try to help them what they need to make sense.

My husband and II

My husband and I love to learn and show that for children. They see us read regularly. They see us upset when we learn new things. My children see us become a near obsession when we get into something new.

Does it work?

So far it has. My children love to learn.

Back to School Ideas for using digital camera

school back in session. In most elementary classrooms around the country, see digital photos of their teachers, students on the first day.

What can you do with these images? Do you need new and fresh ideas?

Here are some ideas:

* Create a bulletin with individual photos and then create a collage of learning that happens in the classroom. This could be a project for a year!

* Take a picture of the first dayto show each month for each child, as they change throughout the year.

* Put the pictures together in a presentation to Curriculum Night will be used during the open house.

* Have each child fold a sheet of construction paper in half like a card and put his photo on the back. Describe yourself and decorate the cover. If you keep the secret about them at work, the teacher could go out together to go with the class, and have suggested that their classmates to do so.A good way to get to know each other forever!

* Make trading cards with pictures and important information on the front and the interest on the back.

* Make a "Brown Bear, Brown Bear see who you are done?" Book with classmates. "Sarah, Sarah, what do you see?" Pupils in alternation with the book home so families know their child's class has become.

* Create schedules for the class of image to follow. photo sites and activities in the building and classrooms.

* Ask students totake photos from around the home, and memorable time with family and friends to take the case to eliminate the words: "I do not know what to write" complaint.

* When it comes to images in the classroom rules, which looks at the correct behavior in order to strengthen the rule. This could include a display of school at the appropriate label, playground cafeteria, library, dining, etc.

* Have students work in teams or group table? Instead of just hanging with a group,have the presence of the group so interesting and use it as a label group.

* Put another baby picture in the newsletter every week and write an article on him.

These are just some ways the school year with a digital camera to get started. The camera can therefore play a crucial role in the classroom.
