Parables are a wonderful way to teach children biblical truths in a story format they will understand. We use them in our everyday teachings with "morals of the story" already, so many children are familiar with the parable concept and format. As I began prepping to teach my children some of the parable stories, I realized I wanted more resources. Today I am sharing with you those I have gathered for a handful of the parables in the Bible.

Our continuing Exploration through the Life of Jesus Has brought us to the time when Jesus is Teaching in Parables. The Parable we are learning about is the Parable of the four soils. We added NEW CARDS to our DO You Know? Wall. My Expectation is for the KIDDOS to be able to answer each of these by the end of the lesson. Our VISUAL Aid for this lesson was fun to make. I have a dear friend, who gave me this wooden box with the four compartments, several years ago. I believe it used to hold children's puzzles. I used clay to make the "WAYSIDE." I used pebbles for the "STONY" ground. I used sand and dirt with a mixture of wooden skewers (cut to small pieces) for the "THORNY" ground. For the "GOOD GROUND" I used potting soil. We used sunflower seeds for our seeds. And my FARMER goes with a DOLLHOUSE set. I added a bird, I purchased at Dollar Tree, to the "WAYSIDE." I added the SUN and scorched plant to the "STONY" ground. I added a bit of strange greenery to the "THORNY" ground. I added sunflowers to the "GOOD GROUND." The KIDDOS were in LOVE with this VISUAL!!!! They loved seeing all the grounds and items that went with the grounds!! It was a great touch and see VISUAL!!!!! We also added a secondary VISUAL to our white board. Each of the pictures show the different types of soils. The bottom sign is our definition for Parable. The KIDDOS need to understand that a PARABLE is and EARTHLY STORY with a HEAVENLY MEANING. We had three new words to add to our WORD WALL. I chose SOIL, SOWER & PARABLE. Those are important words for the KIDDOS to understand for this lesson to make more sense to them. We Added a NEW Card to our GOD'S AWESOME PLAN FOR MAN Timeline!! This is the SONG we learned with this lesson. This song is a little longer than most, but the KIDDOS all learned it and sang it very well!! The song can be heard by clicking the following link. The SOWER song by Ronda Duvall Our MEMORY VERSE was Mark 4:20! To hear the MEMORY VERSE song click on this link. Memory Verse Song Mark 4:20 The Kiddo's TAKE-HOME project was a fun one!! I premade all the little trays of the various soils...the project is made from cardstock...I printed the back picture on the cardstock, before assembling. The KIDDOS added each SOIL, SEEDS and the LABELS to their project. There is double sided foam tape on the back of each of the the soil trays and glue dots on the back of soil labels. The little trays came from the very bottom of Gerber Baby Food Containers. I just cut them down to make them very shallow. The WAYSIDE, is air dried clay, I shaped it in the bottom of one of the baby food containers. By premaking most of the activity it did not take very long to assemble them during Bible Class....I NEVER want our craft/activity to take up a lot of Bible Class time. This KIDDOS loved the weeks REVIEW Game!! The KIDDOS answered a question from the lesson for the opportunity to toss the bean bag.....then the KIDDOS had to tell me what SOIL they landed on and WHAT happened in that SOIL. It was a wonderful way to review all four soils and the outcome of the seeds that fell upon those soils. As you know, the second week of the LESSON is when we REVIEW. It gives me opportunity to correct any misunderstandings. It also, gives opportunities for the KIDDOS who missed class the first week to "CATCH UP." This is the Week we SAY our MEMORY VERSE from MEMORY and We do an ACTIVITY we add to our EXPLORER JOURNAL. This LESSON'S EXPLORER JOURNAL ACTIVITY was a fun one...the KIDDOS added stickers and glued on seeds to this activity. I make the stickers from clipart using a sticker maker machine. The KIDDOS always LOVE stickers and anything they get to glue. We used sunflower seed for our seeds...they are easy for little hands to pick up and glue. I am thoroughly enjoying teaching through the Life of Christ. The KIDDOS are learning so much about JESUS our LORD. Blessings, Ronda

Our continuing Exploration through the Life of Jesus Has brought us to the time when Jesus performs another miracle. This time Jesus heals Jarius' Daughter. We added NEW CARDS to our DO You Know? Wall. My Expectation is for the KIDDOS to be able to answer each of these by the end of the lesson. We had three new words to add to our WORD WALL. I chose TALITHA CUMI, MOURNER and SYNAGOGUE. Those are important words for the KIDDOS to understand for this lesson to make more sense to them. We Added a NEW Card to our GOD'S AWESOME PLAN FOR MAN Timeline!! Our MEMORY VERSE was Mark 5:26! To hear the MEMORY VERSE song click on this link. Memory Verse Song Mark 5:26 This is the SONG we learned with this lesson. It is a short and simple song to learn. The song can be heard by clicking the following link. Jarius' Daughter....Song By Ronda Duvall Our VISUAL Aid for this lesson was a picture for a set of visual aid cards I purchased several years ago. I really like this picture...It had all the people that were in the house with Jesus represented and if you look through the window you will see the mourners outside! The Kiddo's TAKE-HOME project was a 3D bed with a little girl on it that they were able to make "RISE" when we practiced saying, "TALITHA CUMI." I designed the bed on my computer. Then, using various clip art I have access to I gave it a WOOD look and a quilted top. I drew the little girl a LOOOOOONG time ago...my wonderful husband scanned several of my drawings into the computer. This allows me to manipulate them for size, color, etc. If you would like to see how this TAKE HOME "works" please click on the following link. Clicking on the picture will NOT open the video. Jesus Says, "Talitha Cumi"..."Little Girl Arise." This weeks REVIEW Game was a fun BOARD GAME. We all worked together to get JESUS from the Sea of Galilee to Jarius' house. The KIDDOS answer a question from the lesson, roll a die and then move "Jesus" the number of spaces the die tells them. There are a few "bumps" in the way as Jesus makes His way to Jarius' house. As you know, the second week of the LESSON is when we REVIEW. It gives me opportunity to correct any misunderstandings. It also, gives opportunities for the KIDDOS who missed class the first week to "CATCH UP." This is the Week we SAY our MEMORY VERSE from MEMORY and We do an ACTIVITY we add to our EXPLORER JOURNAL. This LESSON'S EXPLORER JOURNAL ACTIVITY was a POCKET "BED" and a two LITTLE GIRL...The KIDDOS colored the area around the pillow and both the front and back of the little girl. They love making her get out of bed, flip around so she is smiling and then say, "give her something to eat." I am loving teaching the LESSONS on the LIFE OF JESUS. I feel like I am learning more and more!! I enjoy writing, coming up with the crafts, activities, games, etc. It can be challenging at times....but, it is always worth it when I see the KIDDOS enjoying learning events from the LIFE of JESUS!! Blessings, Ronda
