Today's lesson in Kindergarten was about the Wise and Foolish builders. The kids have been singing "The Wise Man Built His House on The Rock" since they were babies so this story was familiar to most of them. We talked about what a parable is and the reason Jesus told parables. We did this activity as we talked about why we should build our houses (lives) on a solid foundation (Jesus) and not on the sand! They loved this and thankfully it worked like it was supposed to. I did reinforce the house on the rock by taping the popsicle stick to the bottom of the pan before stacking up the rocks! We couldn't have that house falling too! The last time I tried this some of the rocks wouldn't stay put and the house leaned a little! I wanted it to stand firm this time. Before the storm came! The rains came down! The house on the rock stood firm! A very simple craft. Find pictures of houses and have the kids glue one on a rock and the other sideways on some sand! Another wise and foolish builders song! Found this song here I printed off some coloring pages to use as visuals to go along with the song. I put the words on the back of each picture Tune: This Old Man This wise man, he built well he built well up on a rock When the rains came down And the Floods came up This man's house stood firm and strong! Foolish man, he built wrong he built wrong up on the sand When the rains came down And the Floods came up This man's house came tumbling down!

I attended a Bible teacher's workshop and wanted to share some of the photos. The photos are mine, please excuse the roughness, I miss my good camera, but you can get the general idea. And, that is what I want to do, is share ideas for teaching Jesus! I do have permission from the women that held the workshop to share the photos. Some of the ideas you see are found in old Ideashop magazines, if you still have them! If you have specific questions on how to do something, the questions for the chart, etc, let me know and I will find out. Please allow a short time for me to return the answer. Please, keep in mind, that examples for the ideas were put all over the walls, so you will not see finished bulletin boards, etc. It is ideas for you to make! And, I did not crop the photos. Here they are, in random order: Some of the walls first Jonah & the Great Fish wall visual These creation background boards are felt and/or fabric attached to a board, and then you add pictures, etc for each day of creation. I forgot about these, until I looked at the photos... and I REALLY need to make them! The base (center) of the flower has "blessed are the..." , then students add the center over that with the answer. This is the finished flower pot. Balaam The 3 kings: Saul, David, and Solomon. You can see what I did with the 3 kings here. Solomon's Temple Info Wall Jonah tossed from the boat into the water, then... Jonah in the Great Fish (I think that might be attached with Velcro and added after Jonah is swallowed), then, next is a couple of Jonah table visuals. Joseph (above) next is Prophets. Prophets Love is the Key Number 1 Judges Facts from Acts The Cross
I am posting this lesson a little late. We did the lesson over a week ago, but later that afternoon, Jenna started running a fever and both girls were really sick for a week. I'm praising God that they are finally feeling better! We were in survival mode for a while...so, I'm a little behind on posting! The last story lesson that I did was about Abraham and Isaac. I was surprised to see that my storybook Bibles skipped right on to Joseph in one and Leah and Rachel in the other! I think there are a few important names and stories to introduce our preschoolers to in between those two stories! So, for Isaac and Rebekah, I relied on Google to help me find a children's version of the story! Here's the lesson: 1. Verse - no new verse today. This lesson comes from Genesis 24. 2. Lesson - Pray with your child about the lesson. Review the past Bible story about Abraham and Sarah and how they had baby Isaac. Then review the story of Abraham and Isaac and how God provided a lamb. When Isaac grew up, his dad (Abraham) thought it was time for him to get married. So Abraham asked his servant, to go to the place where his family lived to find a wife for Isaac. Here is the story... Read a children's version of the story. (Since this story was in neither of my storybook Bibles, I used this one I found on the web, at www.childrenstory.info: http://www.childrenstory.info/biblestoryforchild/chdbblisaacandrebekah.html (I did add a couple of sentences to the story because I thought they helped the story a little. After "When I ask a girl for a drink, let her offer to get water for all of my camels also." I added, "Then I will know that she is the wife you have chosen for Isaac." And also, at the very end of the story, I added, "So, Rebekah left her family and traveled back with the servant to be Isaac's wife and Isaac loved Rebekah very much.") Summarize the story and talk about how the people in the story were obeying God. Abraham was obeying God by looking for a wife from his own family. Abraham's servant obeyed Abraham and prayed to God for help and obeyed Him. Rebekah obeyed God by leaving her family and her home to go marry Isaac. 3. Craft - Coloring page. I found this cute coloring page that nicely illustrates the story! You can find it here at biblewise.com. Jenna didn't finish hers...maybe another day! 4. Song - "The Lord is my Shepherd." #9 on Wee Sing Bible Songs 5. End by reviewing the main names in the story: Isaac and Rebekah! **Awesome side note: I found our Bible verse cards that I had misplaced in our move!! (very excited about this!) They were so "wisely" tucked neatly into a box of craft supplies. Good thing Jenna was asking me for stickers, or I never would have found them!!
