This blindfolded maze game teaches obedience to children. My kids loved playing this game, wanting to try completing the maze over and over again. Teaching through games speaks volumes to kids. The concepts resonate with them because kids learn through play. Some people are questioning whether obedience is outdated. They don’t want their children being...Read More
Photo Source: Enhance story time in your Christian or Sunday school classroom with these FREE printable bible figures! The printables include the most noteable bible characters (Jesus, Samuel, Joseph, Adam, Sarah, King David, Noah, Ruth, etc) and can be found over at The Activity Mom. For durability, be sure to laminate the characters once you've printed them in color (may also help to use a sturdier paper like cardstock). Then, attach magnetic strips or felt to the back of each character for use on your classroom marker or felt board. Use the characters during story time, or allow your students to practice sorting and grouping with the characters by placing them in order or by grouping men and women together. This would be a perfect time to discuss what the students know best about each figure! To grab the FREEbie, be sure to visit The Activity Mom!

I love the way we created our class agreements this year. First, students participated in a carousel activity where they went around the room to each poster. They had a pile of small post it notes that they used to respond to the questions- A Great Classmate, IS-DOES-SAYS-DOES NOT... A Terrific Teacher, IS-DOES-SAYS-DOES NOT... A Learner, IS-DOES-SAYS-DOES NOT... A Classroom of Learners, IS- LOOKS LIKE- FEELS... Then each group of 4 students looked at all of the responses and came up with their own class agreements. Finally, we put them all together and this is what they came up with. I think they did a great job!

When you think of a “cult,” you may imagine some of the modern-day groups that believe in aliens or think that their leader is the second coming of Jesus Christ. Well, it turns out that human beings have been joining cults and heretic religions for thousands of years. Many of them have been totally forgotten by the average person, and you may have never been taught about these religions in history class. Here are 10 of the most shocking cults from ancient history. 10. The Skoptsy Nearly every Christian-based religion has looked down upon having any kind of sex outside

I came across some ideas for crayon melting on Pinterest recently and couldn't resist having a go! Click here for the original idea on The Kinder Kid. Here is my take on crayon melting with a message... I happened to have a silicone mould with people shapes that I'd picked up at the pound shop, though really any kind of mould would be fine. Silicone worked with no mess, but I'm probably not ever going to be using it for baking again! Break or cut crayons into small pieces and get children to arrange various colours in the moulds. Don't fill right to the top or you may have spillage!. Talk about the different colours representing different skills and gifts that different people within the church or within the group have. Children might choose specific colours to represent what they know of certain people. Now put the mould into a preheated oven at about 200 degrees (e.g.quite hot!) and bake for anything between 5 and 8 minutes. Keep an eye on the melting and when it looks as though everything has melted with no lumps, take out the mould and let it cool. When the mould has cooled down, pop the melts out! Each child can take their melt and see how the colours that were once individual have now formed into one unit and can not be separated without causing serious damage. Every colour can still be seen, but it is strongly linked to the other colours. Talk about the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12: 12-31) and how we come with our different gifts to make up the whole body. The individual parts can all be seen, but each part is equally as important to making up the family of God.

I’m not saying you should never buy a textbook, but it shouldn’t be the lifeblood of your program. Use it more to sort of pull concepts together. Reading about science is okay for some of the time. For the other 95% of the time, just have a blast doing science.
What Type of Vessel are You? The Lord brings trials in our lives to refine and purify us. His purpose is not one of defeat, but of restoration. KJV
