In Seminary this year we are studying the New Testament. For our Thanksgiving party I thought that it would be fun to have a review of the year so far with Minute to Win it games. Here is what I came up with. Luke 2:7 7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. For this one you will need 2 jars and a bunch of plastic animals. I taped a picture of a stable to the outside. Each person puts the jar by their feet. While standing straight each person tries to drop an animal into the jar from their nose. The team that has the most animals in the jar at one minute wins. Check out my latest blog for a FREE Nativity 12 Days of Christmas Countdown Printout for the stable: Matthew 4:19 19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. I bought a bunch of small balloons and some toy nets at the dollar store. I blew up all the balloons and drew faces on them with a sharpie. I placed all the balloons at one end of the room. Then each group had to run across the room and get a balloon with the net. Then they had to bring it back to a person holding a bag and place it into the bag. The team with the most balloons won. Mark 4:31-32 31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: 32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it. I gave each team a very small piece of mustard colored crayon and a blank piece of paper. Each team member placed the blank sheet of paper on his head. Then each team had a minute to draw a mustard tree on the paper. The team with the best and the biggest mustard tree won. Luke 4:4 4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. For this challenge we buttered peanut butter onto a piece of bread. We placed it at the end of the table. Then each team had to bounce a ping pong ball across the table and get it to stick to the peanut butter. The first team successful won. Matthew 19:24 24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Tie a string to a printout of a camel (I have a printout below if you need one.) Place about 10 needles in floral foam. Line them up the best you can. Have each team thread the needles with the string tied to the camel. The team that threads the most needles wins. Luke 15:4-5 4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? 5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. The printout for the sheep is in the Eye of the Needle section above. I had only one sheep. I hid the sheep in the room. The first team to find the sheep won. Matthew 10:35 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; Give one roll of toilet paper on a large spoon to each team. One team member holds the spoon while the other team member turns around to wrap the toilet paper around himself. The team that can get the most toilet paper wrapped around, without breaking it, wins. Matthew 21:12 12 ¶And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, I printed out a copy of the temple onto cardstock and cut it out. I also printed out two of the box templates above onto cardstock. Fold the box on each of the lines and fold the corners in to create a box. Attach the printout of the temple to the box. Fill each temple box with 30 cocoa puff cereals. Have each team use a straw to remove the cocoa puffs. The team that removes the most cocoa puffs wins. Mark 6:41&42 41 And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all. 42 And they did all eat, and were filled. Each team is given five crackers and two swedish fish. One member from each team has to try to eat all the crackers and fish in one minute. The first team to eat and swallow all the items wins. John 10:14 14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. Use the fence in the printout above (in the eye of the needle section). Fold the fence into a square with a little opening. Place 10 marshmallow outside of the fence. Each team has to blow the marshmallows inside the fence. This is really hard because the fence moves when you blow on the marshmallow, but it is fun. If it's too hard, then tape the fence to a plate. The team with the most marshmallows inside the fence wins. Mark 4:37 37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. I do not have picture for this challenge yet. Fold a boat out of paper. Each team places their boat on the edge of the table. They use a large untied balloon to try to blow their boat across the table. Use the air in the balloon to push the boat. If the balloon runs out of air, then the team member has to blow it back up. The team to get their boat the furthest wins. For the Champions I made these trophies out of Toblerones. Just print out the picture below. Cut it out and glue it to the top of a Toblerone. The students loved it. I also have a Manger Coloring Card to cut and fold. Thanks for visiting Holly's Home. I hope that your Minute to Win it challenge turns out as well as mine did.

I had lots of fun on placement at St Oswald’s Infant School in Durham last week. I did an assembly on Pentecost on the Thursday which was great fun to deliver as there are 17 different countr…
1. Story (based on Luke 24:36-53; John 20:24-29) Last week we learnt about how Jesus appeared to some of His disciples. How many? (2) What was the name of one of them? (Cleopas). Where were they walking to? (Emmaus) After the two disciples recognized Jesus, they quickly ran all the way back to Jerusalem to tell the others that they had seen Jesus. The other disciples were also excited … Jesus had appeared to Simon Peter. As they were talking, suddenly, guess who appeared before them? Jesus! The disciples were startled and afraid. They thought He was a ghost! Jesus proves He is not a ghost Jesus immediately proclaimed, “Peace be with you. Why are you troubled, and why do you doubt?” To prove to the disciples that he was not a ghost, or their imagination or a projected image, Jesus asked them to touch Him. “Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.” The disciples saw Jesus’ hands and feet. They saw the place where the nails were pierced. They were amazed. But still they didn’t believe completely it was really Jesus! So Jesus asked for something to eat. They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and Jesus took it and ate it in front of it. After all, ghosts don’t eat! Jesus proves Himself to Thomas There was one disciple who wasn’t in there when Jesus appeared. His name was Thomas. When his friends told him they had seen Jesus, He still did not believe. “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.” A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!” Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” Jesus proves Himself to us We may not have seen Jesus appear in physical form. We may not have touched his sides and his hands. We may not have seen him eat a piece of fish in front of us. But we can still know that He lives in us and through us. Even though we do not see His body, we have His spirit. Jesus is alive. And He is with us every day! Jesus calls us “blessed” because of our faith in Him. Do you want to believe in Jesus? If yes, please pray with me. Lord Jesus, even though I don’t see you, I can believe in you and receive you into my life. Thank you for loving me, for dying on the cross for me, and for raising from the dead. Thank you for your Spirit living in me always. In your name I pray, Amen! 2.

Luke 9: 28-36 When reading this lesson, the first craft idea that came to my mind was string art. You know, that cool method of tying string to nails on a board to highlight a shape? Here's a link to an example: string art. I would have loved to do it that way; however, that would have taken more prep and class time than I had available. So, I took that basic idea and found a way to do something similar. The only difference in the two methods I will discuss is that one is achieved with oil pastels and is suitable for smaller children, and the other uses string and a craft needle, better suited for older children. Materials Needed for 1st - 3rd Grade Version Colored Card Stock Glitter Paper Oil Pastels (yellow & white) Pen Glue Scissors Outline of Jesus (free download) Paper Towel Before Class Prep: The first thing to do is draw a silhouette of Jesus. It doesn't have to be prefect. Any basic outline is fine. You may download mine (above) if you'd like. Cutout the shape. Next, on the back of the glitter paper (found in the scrapbook section of Hobby Lobby or Michael's), trace the outline of Jesus. Cut out one Jesus silhouette for each child. Class Instructions: 1. Begin with a sheet of colored card stock and the yellow oil pastel. Starting at the center of the page,draw several lines going from the center out to the edges of the paper. 2. Using the paper towel, rub (or smear) the crayon to give it a fuzzy look. 3. Draw a few more lines with the white oil pastel and rub it to blend. Note: Oil pastels work really well for this. They smear easily, as opposed to regular crayons. The down side is they can be slightly messy. Remind the kids not to drag their sleeves across the paper. Likewise, if you are worried about the color getting onto the tabletop, drape a cheap tablecloth or butcher paper over the tables before class. 4. Glue one Jesus silhouette onto the center. 5. The bible verse may also be written on the page if desired. Materials Needed for 4th - 6th Grade Version: Foam Sheets Glitter Paper Pen Scissors Glue Craft Needle Outline of Jesus (free download) Embroidery Floss (yellow - 2 or 3 per person) Before Class Prep: As with the 1st - 3rd grade craft, the first thing to do is draw a silhouette of Jesus. It doesn't have to be prefect. Any basic outline is fine. You may download mine (above) if you'd like. Cutout the shape. Next, on the back of the glitter paper (found in the scrapbook section of Hobby Lobby or Michael's), trace the outline of Jesus. Cut out one Jesus silhouette for each child. Two extra steps are needed for this version. On the back of each Foam Sheet, trace the silhouette with dots as shown below. Next, add random dots, some along the edges and some closer in, all the way around. Class Instructions: 1. Thread the needle with a long strand of floss-but not too long! Using the dots for needle placement, stitch from the silhouette dots to the surrounding dots. When one strand ends, tie a new strand to it until the entire picture is covered as pictured below. 2. Glue the silhouette of Jesus in the center. NOTE: All images, text and printables contained herein are copyright protected. This material is for your personal use only.

Okay, I'll admit it: I started playing Christmas music yesterday. I'm getting ready for one of my favorite family traditions. During Advent we do a Jesse Tree, with readings and ornaments from the Old Testament that lead to the birth of Christ. I've noticed my children don't always have a good sense of how the different events relate to one another. For years, I've wanted a Bible Timeline to provide a context for the stories we tell. There are several commercial ones: most have a lot of text and dates and are more involved than I need. I really like this one with all the pictures, but its 10' long! That just won't work for our home. So I obsessed over it for 48 hours, and made my own. I drew a simple cartoon history of the Old Testament. It doesn't include every prophet and king and favorite story (because otherwise it would be 10' long!), but it provides a big picture, so when you're reading your favorite story you can point and say, "this happened here." I'm hoping it will help my kids develop a sense of the continuity of the story. I drew the timeline over 5 sheets of paper, but through the magic of Adobe, I've squished it onto a single printable page. Yes, ONE page. The pictures are tiny, but they are simple and readable, so I think it works. And its for you, too! Wishing you a good Advent and blessed Nativity! Grab the printable PDF here - it includes a black and white page, and one with a little color. If you don't want the teeny-tiny version, you can order it in poster from Zazzle in various sizes and paper qualities. Its also available as this pretty 17 x 24" poster printed by Fine Art America. (Be sure to select: Size: natural.)
Two Wednesday nights a month, I have the privilege of teaching the 2nd and 3rd graders at my church. I look forward to these moments I am given with the kids. I usually spend a few hours preparing a lesson, and praying about what I will say to them. This week we were reading in 1 Corinthians chapter 12. We were discussing spiritual gifts and the fact that we are all part of one body in Christ. "God’s various expressions of power are in action everywhere; but God himself is behind it all. Each person is given something to do that shows who God is: Everyone gets in on it, everyone benefits. All kinds of things are handed out by the Spirit, and to all kinds of people! The variety is wonderful." 1 Corinthians 12: 4-7 (The Message) To illustrate this point, I had the kids work with play dough while I read through the chapter in the Bible. I find the kids listen so much better if their hands are busy with a simple task. I use play dough a lot when we are reading in the Bible. It also helps illustrate the point even further. Before I began reading, I assigned a different body part to each child. While I read, they designed and perfected their part. When we finished, we discussed how each part is very special, but is missing something when it is off by itself. The parts couldn't accomplish much all alone. You couldn't tell the foot to go tell someone about Jesus. The foot doesn't have a mouth to speak. You can't tell a head to go somewhere, it needs the neck and other parts to move it there. Each part is important and necessary to achieve God's plan. The body parts aren't as useful alone, BUT when we all put our parts together, it makes one body, just like we are one in Christ. We all bring different things to the world, but our goal is the same. We need each other. We each have different spiritual gifts that God has given us. They work best together, not separate. Together we can accomplish a lot for God. To illustrate the point a little further to the kids, I put together a worksheet for them to fill out. I did not draw the boy and girl. I found them on Google images. This is not their typical paper they fill out in class. It's going to require some research and help from other members in the church. It's homework they must bring back next week! There are arrows pointing to all different parts of the body. For each arrow, they must find someone in the church who fills that part. The kid's not only need the person's signature on the arrow; they also need to write down what that person's spiritual gift is. God has given each of us a gift to be used for Him. It's a treasure that must be found. "A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other." 1 Corinthians 12:7 I challenged the kids to talk with several different ages of people in the church. If they can bring back their worksheet completely filled in, that's 15 extra names, then I will give them a surprise. I encouraged the kids to figure out what part of the body they represent in our church too. They could be the feet, bringing the good news about Jesus to others, teaching what they know. They could be the nose, sniffing out good vs. evil. Having discernment is very important. They could be the hands, serving people who have needs. They could be the knees, bending down praying for others to be healed. The list of parts goes on and on... To help the kids figure out their own gift, I printed out several copies of a Spiritual Gifts Test I found online. The kids had a lot of fun ranking the questions from 1 to 5. Even the ones who didn't like tests, responded well to this survey. I did need to help a few kids add up their scores, but several could do it on their own. They were so excited after taking the test to see what gift God had given them. After the kids figured out their gift, they each took turns writing their signature and gift on their classmates worksheet. I believe it was a very eye opening experience for the kids. We all need each other, and we are all equally important to God. It doesn't matter if you are an adult, or if you are a kid. God gives gifts to each and every one of us. There are no gifts that are better than the others. "If one part of the body suffers, all the other parts share its suffering. If one part is praised, all the others share in its happiness. You are Christ’s body and each of you is an individual part of it." 1 Corinthians 12:26-27

1. Story (based on Luke 24:44-53) Last week we learnt about how Jesus appeared his disciples. What was the name of the disciple who wanted proof that Jesus was alive? (Thomas) And who did Jesus say was more blessed because they believed without seeing? (All of us) Over the next 40 days, Jesus met and talked with His disciples and explained many things to them. He explained to them about what all the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms were talking about — they were talking about Jesus. Everything that happened to Him — His life, His death and His resurrection — had already been planned by God from the beginning of time. As Jesus talked, the disciples’ minds were opened so that they could understand the Scriptures. Jesus is the Saviour who had to suffer and rise from the dead on the third day Those who put their faith in Him will receive forgiveness of their sins This good news will be preached in Jesus’ name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. The disciples are witnesses of these things. They can tell other people about Jesus. But before that, Jesus told his disciples to stay in the city first until they receive the Holy Spirit. Jesus promised to send them His Holy Spirit, which will give them the power to do all that God has called them to do. Jesus and His disciples went out to Bethany. He lifted up His hands and blessed his disciples. While He was doing so, He was taken up into heaven in front of their eyes. The disciples worshipped and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. They stayed in the temple to praise God. 2. Lesson Jesus opened their minds about the Scriptures The disciples began to see that all Scripture was about Jesus. Jesus had to go so the Holy Spirit could come When Jesus was on earth, He could only be in one place at a time. But when He returns to the Father, His Holy Spirit can come and live in each and every one of us forever. We cannot serve or do anything for God in our own strength. We need the Holy Spirit’s power in our life to do all that God wants us to do. Jesus has gone to the Father, and He will come back for us! The story of The Ascension is one of great joy. It would seem quite sad to have to say goodbye to Jesus so soon, but He does promise to come back for us one day. We can look forward to Jesus’ coming again with great joy and expectation! 3.

This experiment with skittles is colourful, easy and makes a great statement about what we are asking God to do when we pray. In essence, prayers are a way of joining with God and asking him to have an effect on the world and situations around us. We pray because we believe that our prayers, through God's power, will make a difference to the world. In this activity, colour is released from the sweets into the surrounding water, creating a colourful picture, symbolic of how the prayers we raise to God are a way of us joining with Him to release the kingdom here on earth and have an impact. You will need: A bag of skittles, a plate, hot water (not hot enough to scald, but hot enough to make the colour run!) Arrange the skittles in the plate Pour some hot water onto the plate to cover its surface. Pour it carefully so that the skittles stay in place. Wait and the skittles will gradually release their colour Try an alternative... Cover the surface of the plate with water and ask children to pick up a skittle, pray for a person or situation and place the skittle on the plate.

This is a short song, but the kids like it! I attached the visuals to the large craft sticks, because that is what my grandkids like. This is another song I received from Christina Barkley, and I am using with her permission, but she does not know the original author, etc. Christina and her mom (like most of us) have collected all sorts of Bible songs and ideas over the years. Like most kids Bible songs, the original writers are unknown, and there are several variations to the same song. You can print the tools here and I used a real piece of sandpaper. But, if you have kids tools, you can use a safe hammer and saw instead of printing the visual! PICTURES TO COLOR: Here are some black and white printables with the same graphics with a couple of pictures of the tools to color (very simple for preschool), a couple of tool worksheets, and a boy or girl worker, which could lead to a discussion on being a worker for Jesus and what can they do to be a helper like Jesus! You can print those here.
