Teaching preschool children well takes preparation! Get help from seniors or others in your church.
* Every child hears that Jesus loves them regularly either with a puppet saying their name , "David Jesus loves you."
- * I begin with a standing up fun action song. The next songs the children usually sit for.
- The words are at the end of the Lesson Plans for your convenience.
- The lesson includes 3 fun action songs from Noah's Ark CD.
- An action rhyme or finger play - often from Noah's Ark CD.
- Simple Bible verse
- Prayer
- Story Activity related to Bible story - it helps them to remember. They use these to play "church" at home.
- Make story visual and have variety.
- I have found it easier to establish a routine for the lesson time where toys are out of reach or else to teach in a toy free room.
- We have very young children who stay for the story if they are not crying too much, as usually they soon get interested in the fun props and settle.
- Obviously we don't let children become distressed and will call parents to sit with them if necessary or take them to another area.
- I have a mat or cushions where the children get used to going to for story time.
- Snap the story along quickly to keep the children focused. Their concentration is short at this level. (my class is 18 months to 5 years.)
- Do the story in a variety of ways: for example use dolls which acts story, use drama - we all join in - a book, flash cards, magnet board, story on ice block sticks, attach pictures to pegs on a line. Make a Big Book. Flip puppet which can flip up or drop characters down. Use the puppets from web.
- For a change make them stand by sticking to a little box or stand in a slit.
- There is no one way fits all! Just use the ideas that work for you and add your own style and props.
* If this material is useful, or you have suggestions, we would love to hear from you!
* Bible Story Booklets:
- * Suggestion. In my own class every week, each child takes home a book - it helps them
- to remember the Bible story and also their family gets to hear, as they read to the child.
- These can be printed with or without a cover. Missionaries can tie the book together.
