This week’s lesson was a super fun one for our little ones! The focus was on God’s promises, so we started by talking about a promise that we had learnt a couple of weeks before. We remember that God had made a promise to Noah to save him and his family from the flood and we saw […]

I was hoping to impact the children to make what Jesus did for them more personal. We know that Christ sided for us, but stoping to take the time to think about it and see it on paper was something…

When Jesus healed the son of a royal official, He was demonstrating that His power was not limited to physical proximity. This adorable, super simple craft will help children remember that Jesus can heal us also in order to accomplish His purposes.

Here are a couple of printable posters I will use on the walls and for visuals: Saul vs. Paul Luke Light Roman Citizen Old/New Law Christian The Church Baptism Baptism Felix Festus King Agrippa Leaving Jerusalem This sign can be used for any Bible lesson, especially for travelers and the different places. Really, it can be used any number of ways. This has been discontinued by Carson Dellosa. I use this train for our study in Acts. Each car has a short title to tell the kids what questions are inside. We use them for review, and I let them take turns putting the laminated papers back in the cars, which they think is great! This did get published in the very last issue, of the very last page of Ideashop by Gospel Advocate! Here is a closer look at a car: Here are what they basically look like. A question, a picture or clipart, and Lift-the-Flap answer. Everything is laminated. I used cardstock on the backs of the cars to make a pocket. Make sure the cardstock fits on the back and doesn't show on the front. It needs to be big enough to hold the question sheets. I glued around three edges of each piece of cardstock, bottom and the two sides, and used my Aleene's Tacky Glue to attach the cardstock to the back of the cars. Mine looks like this: Just to give you an idea, my train cars are labeled with: Acts, Light, Basket, Lydia, Paul & Silas, Aquila & Priscilla, Eutychus, Jerusalem, "Trials", Malta, Rome. Also, when I staple them to the wall, I line them up, and staple the pocket in the middle to the wall, then staple the sides of the car to the wall. That makes it a lot easier to put the worksheets back in the pockets. You can find more about the train and download the posters here. (This is copied from an earlier post) This is not a great picture, but I have this on the wall with Bible Facts as the title (top right). We use this for review about basic Bible knowledge (grades 1 & 2) when I have extra time. The questions are on the labels with a clue picture, and the answer is inside on the letters. What are the 2 parts of the Bible? How many books/letters are in the Bible? How many books are in the Old Testament? How many books/letters are in the New Testament? How many letters do we have from Paul? What is the first book of the Bible? What does the first book start with? (creation) What is the first verse of the Bible? Who wrote the first 5 books? (Say them) What is the first book of the New Testament? What does the first book (Matthew) tell us? (Birth of Jesus) What is the last book of the Bible? Revelation (no s) The mailbox can be found here. Right next to the mailbox, I have these numbers for the letters we have from Paul. These should be cut out and laminated before attaching to the wall: Click here to print the 13 in green, pink, and blue. On a wall right next to the mailbox, for further discussion, I have the numbers 39 with a plus sign and 27 with an equal sign with 66. Also 13 for the letters we have from Paul. You can purchase them here. (Different website) Here are some older bulletin boards for Acts, if you are interested. You might get an idea! You could use any mailbox. You could use real envelopes and write on the outside. Or, print envelope or postcards on clipart. Here what mine have printed on them: From: Paul in Corinth To: The Saints in Rome (Romans 1:7) From: Paul in Rome To: The Saints in Philippi (Phil. 1:1) From: Paul in Rome To: Timothy (2 Timothy 1:4) From: Paul in Rome To: The Saints of Ephesus (Eph. 1:1) From: Paul in Ephesus To: The Church at Corinth (1 Cor.)

“The Spirit drove Jesus out into the wilderness and he remained there for forty days, and was tempted by Satan” (Mk 1:12-13) Jesus spent 40 days in the desert, fasting. He did this for us, to sacrifice for the sins of man. “He took your temptation and gave you his victory”. We observe this period […]

Happy Monday! The first week back after Christmas break is over and you're back in the swing of things! Time to start pluggin' in some new ideas into your daily routine! Yesterday in our Sunday School class, we played a really fun (yet ridiculously simple to make) game to help review the lesson we were learning for the day. We were learning about the 12 sons of Jacob (characters from the Bible), and I was looking for a fun way to review them, so I decided to do a little "Guess Who" game. It's so simple friends, that I can barely even call it DIY because *I* didn't really do much accept for spend about 5 minutes on the computer creating the following two pages. This top picture has boxes with the pictures of Jacob and his 12 sons on it (images found here). and the bottom picture has the same sized boxes, but no pictures. I had the students cut out their picture boxes (see - so easy, I didn't even have to do the cutting!). They then set the up 2 file folders like shown below (I paper clipped them together so that they would stay together. You'll also notice I stuck an object (a bell, in my case) in between the folders to keep the top half from falling over. The students then placed their blank box sheet on their side of the folder and placed the picture cards in any order on top of the blank boxes. Again - notice who is doing all the work :) Not me! I then had a separate set of the picture cards, one set per partner group (this was in ADDITION to the cards that they cut up). Once students set up their board placing all pictures on the box, I had each partner group pick a person from the additional picture card set and paper clip this picture in the corner on the top of the file folder. (Ex. The picture below shows "Levi" clipped in the corner). This became the person that their partner would try to guess. Students played the game using the regular "Guess Who" rules asking their partner yes/no questions about their secret person. (ex. Does your person have a striped belt?). Students would remove people off their board as they eliminated who their partner's person might be. Once a partner had won, the students could rearrange their board as they wanted to and choose a new picture card and play again. So, how can you use this idea in your classroom? EASY! Choose characters from a book, historical figures, or any other group of people your students need to review. It would even make a great game to tuck away for now and use at the beginning of the school year by using pictures of your students and have students guess which classmate their partner has. What a great way for your students to get to know their classmates at the beginning of the year!!

When Peter is imprisoned and loosed by an angel, we have a fun review game. Peter, in chains: Now, when a child answers a question, they get to break on chain off. I drew him from this pic I found on Google images. My kids say it's from 'What's in the Bible with Buck Denver'. ~Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison. And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me. Acts 12:5-8~

Our newest lesson is when Mary and Joseph take Baby JESUS to the Temple and they meet Simeon and Anna. This was a fun lesson to teach. It was fun to point out that even as a child one can be dedicated to serving GOD. The KIDDOS should be able to answer all the questions from our DO YOU KNOW? Wall, by the end of the lesson. We added a new card with Simeon, Anna and Baby Jesus on it, to our GOD'S AWESOME PLAN FOR MAN...timeline. We had three NEW words for our WORD WALL!! It was important for the KIDDOS to understand these words so they could understand the lesson. The KIDDOS new Memory Verse is LUKE 2:30-31. If you would like to hear how the Memory Verse Song goes, click on this link. Luke 2:30-31 Memory Verse We added the Memory Verse to our Memory Verse Construction Zone!!! I decided to use a Visual Aid that I had made a few years ago, when teaching about the United and Divided Kingdom. The KIDDOS loved this visual and it was great to use to "act" out the story and events. The little "people" I used came from a set I purchased from Oriental Trading a loooong time ago. I did make some modifications to some of the little people....that way they serve the purpose, I needed. We had a new SONG to learn. I love having a song that goes with each story. It amazes me how well the KIDDOS remember the lesson when they have a song that goes along with the lesson. If you would like to hear this song click on the following link. Joseph and Mary Took Jesus to The Temple Song--by Ronda Duvall We added new QUESTIONS to the KIDDOS "Life Of Christ Questions Cards." These have made for a wonderful opportunity for our families to review the QUESTIONS from each lesson with their KIDDOS. The KIDDOS TAKE HOME Project was a Simeon and Anna Stand Up Paper Doll set, complete with "baby Jesus." I am please with how these turned out...they were fun to use while singing our "new" song. Our REVIEW GAME for this LESSON was a BINGO style Game. The KIDDOS would answer a question from the lesson, I would draw a picture out of my bucket and the KIDDOS would put a "MARKER" on the picture on their game card. By the way, the plastic markers are lids from fruit packets, baby food packets, applesauce packets, etc. They are perfect for little hands!!! We had a LOT of fun playing this game and the KIDDOS were ON TARGET answering the questions. On our second week of this LESSON the KIDDOS will Review The Lesson, Say their Memory Verse from Memory, and Make their EXPLORER JOURNAL activity. The KIDDOS will color their page and add 3D Baby Jesus sticker to Simeon's hands!!! Just a reminder, while the KIDDOS are coloring/working on their EXPLORER JOURNAL activity, we sing the song from the lesson, ask review questions from the lesson, sing the memory verse from the lesson, etc. Don't want to waste a minute of teaching time----and my KIDDOS LOVE to color!! I am truly enjoying teaching the LIFE of CHRIST. I am amazed at how much the KIDDOS are soaking in the lessons!!! Just makes me smile!! Blessings, Ronda

Sermon On the Mount (Beatitudes) Kids Spot The Difference

I know it's been a long time since I've done any posting. I mean a LOOOOOOOOONG time. We've legitimately been quite busy. Good busy. Productive busy. I've also become really involved in our amazing local church. I love it! Our kids love it! We all love it! I have been having a lot of fun creating fun lessons for the kids. Hands on activities to help relate the stories. Here is one that went over really, REALLY well! Jesus is our Shepherd. We are the flock. John 10:14-16 (NLT) "I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me, just as my Father knows me and I know the Father. So I sacrifice my life for the sheep." Luke 15:3-5 (NLT) So Jesus told them this story: "If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won't he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he will joyfully carry it home on his shoulders." After talking to the kids about Jesus being our shepherd. How a good shepherd always looks after his flock and takes care of them. Protecting them, and providing for them. If one gets lost, he always goes looking for them. I dyed cotton balls all different colors. See below. After the story and the discussion, I put all the different colors of cotton balls into a paper bag and let the kids each pick one. That color "cotton ball" was actually their color of sheep. They had a "missing" herd hidden all over the room and they were in charge of going and collecting all of their lost sheep. The kids really enjoyed finding them, and not only that, they really took care to help out one another. After all the sheep had been collected, we played a few more games with them sheep. We played "Popcorn Sheep." Where all the sheep get tossed into the air, and everyone has to gather their sheep as fast as they can. We also had a little relay where we put the sheep at one end of the room and their cups or "homes" at the other end. They were allowed to race each other and only pick up one sheep at a time and bring it home. After you play all the games of finding your herds of sheep, follow up with the questions of what a shepherd is and does, and how Jesus is our amazing shepherd. Hope you've enjoyed this lesson!

My internet was down for several days last week. Sorry if you were one of those trying to access my mini sacrament book. So this one is also a little late and I'll be posting the lesson 41 later this week in hopes to catch up. So here we go. Here are some fun primary lesson helps for Lesson 40 I can forgive others. I really love this lesson, especially the scripture story. Attention activity: We are going to act out the scenario. Bring books and paper (or any other items that can be dropped). Ask 2 children to help you act out this scenario. If you have the option of either older kids that can read or an extra teacher in your class-have them go in the hall and quickly plan out how they want to do this. If this is not an option for you then just help them wing it as you read the scenario to the class :) I've included a page to hand to the children/other teacher if you are going to go that route. Also my class LOVED the action clapper we used a few lessons ago so I included one of those too. (The title has been update in this download) To use print the 2 pages on cardstock and cut. Attach the top piece with a brad. Let the kids take turns saying action and cut. Teacher presentation: I had a few ideas to do this. First print both pages. idea #1-cut around the pattern hearts BUT leave a little bit on the side so it stays connected but becomes like a little door. Glue the paper with the words directly behind it so when you open the little "door hearts" you can see the words. Have the kids take turns opening the "doors" and read what's behind it. idea #2. Leave the pattern heart page as is. Cut out the hearts with words and hide them around the room. Have the kids hunt for them and when they are found glue them to the top of the patterned hearts. Scripture Story: I chose to use real picture instead of clip art (all images are from lds.org). Each page has the words from the manual. These specific words brought the spirit into my heart so strong and I felt that I needed to share them word for word. I teach the 7 & 8 year olds and will be using these with my class. However, decide if your class (and age) group will be okay with seeing these pictures. In the download there are 4 pages with words for this story. I've included both full page for each as well as the smaller story cards size that can easily be printed and cut apart. For the full page you can print them or save some ink and show on your computer or phone. If there is interest I can also include the jpeg. version that you can have printed at your favorite store. Let me know :) Word Strip: Print and display Story about Kent: Instead of my usual story cards we are going to do puppets! Cut around each image and attach to a Popsicle stick. Discussion and Review activity: Going with the leaf theme I have 3 ideas for this game as well. 1st idea: Print the leaves and the rake. (cardstock for the rake). Cut around the leaves and the rake. Attach a magnet on the back side of the rake. Add paperclips only to the leaves with numbers. Mix and dump the leaves on the table. Have the kids take turns raking up the leaves until they find one that sticks. Ask the question that corresponds with the number on the leaf. (I'll add some pictures of this in action soon) 2nd idea: Print just the extra page of leaves. Number them 1-9 (you will need to take off 2 of the questions from the review page). Place them in a bag and let the kids draw a leaf and ask the question. 3rd idea: Print and cut all of the leaves (not the extra page of leaves) and the rake (2 if you want to make it a race). Spread them out on the table or floor. Call out a number between 1 and 11. Have them quickly find the correct number and slap it with the rake. Ask the question that goes with the number. You can add magnets and paper clips for some extra fun. Enrichment ideas: Alternate coloring page Enrichment activity 1: This idea teaches the same concept- For my class I am going to try this paper airplane idea. Then we are going to decorate and make paper airplanes. I have a group of 8 year old boys that do not have a lot of interest in any activity. I'm hoping this will inspire them to listen and participate. Here's a cute coloring page to go with the airplane idea Another great visual idea: found here Enrichment idea #3: I found cute puppets here Download the lesson helps here and here

The final lesson in our study of the book of Acts! Although, I have a review about Paul and then Peter. Review: We’ve been studying about Paul’s life. The last couple of weeks we talked about Paul being put on a ship and taken to Rome, but on the way, there was a storm and their boat hit a sandbar. They swam to the Island of Malta. Remember that a poisonous snake bit Paul when he was putting sticks onto a fire, but nothing happened to him. Paul healed the Island Governor's father and people came to him to be healed after they saw what Paul could do. The people on the island gave Paul and his companions everything they needed to continue their travel. They left the island after being there for three months. Lesson: Today's lesson is found in Acts 28:11-31. They stopped a couple of places on the way to Rome and they followed the south winds and landed in Puteoli. (Acts 28:13) They found the Christians there and stayed for seven days. They traveled and stopped two more places and when Paul saw the Christians from these other places, Paul was thankful to God, and it made him stronger to know that there were more Christians. When they arrived in Rome, the prisoners were handed over to the captain of the guard. Paul was allowed to stay by himself with a soldier to guard him. After three days, Paul called the chief of the Jews together. He explained what had happened to him, why he was a prisoner and how they should have let him go but didn’t. (Acts 28:18) He said they had examined him, they wanted to let him go because there wasn’t a reason to put him to death. Paul told them that he had appealed to Caesar. And now Paul has called for the Jews. He wanted to tell them why he was there and ask for help. They told Paul that they hadn’t received any letters about him, and they hadn’t heard anything bad about him either. They told Paul that they wanted to hear what he thought. They set up a day for the people to go to where Paul was staying. Paul talked about Moses and the old law and the Old Testament prophets. Paul explained to them about Jesus. A lot of people came to see Paul to hear what he had to say. Some of them believed and some did not. (Acts 28:24) After Paul talked to them, the Jews left and had great discussions about what Paul had told them. (Acts 28:29) Paul lived in a house that he rented for two years. Paul saw anyone who came to see him. He was vigilant teaching everyone he could about Jesus. (Acts 28:30-31) Paul stayed a prisoner in Rome for two more years and Paul hasn't even been charged with a crime! For two years, Paul lived in his own house, he was allowed to hire people and to live with him, but he was still a prisoner. He probably had help from his Roman friends at this point. People came to his house to listen to his instruction about Jesus. (Acts 28:30-31) And anyone who came to see Paul, Paul talked to about Jesus. (Paul's letters visual) Paul wrote the Books of Colossians, Philemon, Ephesians, and Philippians while he was a prisoner in Rome. These letters were written around A.D. 60 to 61. Today's project is another of my really different, really fun, and really old ideas that I have done for years. I have updated it for you, though. Before class prep: Cut out all the parts, glue the envelopes together and put each person's items in the envelope for easier handout. Including the 13 stamps. Kid's Project: Fold each 'letter from Paul' as I tell them something about each one. It might be a lesson we have coming up from that letter, where Paul was, who it is to, etc. You can see from the next photo; they will fold up the bottom (where it says from: Paul) and tuck it into the top flap. Once they have folded it, they put a stamp on the front and use the stampers I have and postmark them. Then they will put them all in their envelopes to take home. We will also talk about how Paul had to write the letters and have them delivered. I purchased stamps from the Post Office for them to use. (I usually buy 1 cent stamps, but they didn't have 200 of them, so I bought half 2 cent stamps/half 1 cent. Really cheap for a project, though... and it is sooo much fun for them!) The postmark wood stamper above is by All Night Media and is called Wish Postmark # 554E. I don't think it is produced anymore, but I purchase them on eBay.
