ideaWhile telling the part of the story where God made man, I formed a person out of playdough (body, head, arms, legs, eyes, hair. Then, I tried to breathe into it and tell it to come alive. I tried once or twice more. Then, I asked the children why I could not make it come alive. I asked them if they wanted to try to breathe into it. Then, we discussed how we cannot make it come alive because we are not God. Only God can do something so incredible as making man out of dirt and then breathing into him and he is alive! The children were very attentive.
9-4-00For my hallway bulletin board, I decided to do a religious theme. Since my fours love to tear and cut paper we did several tearing and cutting projects that week. We made rainbows, bees, and trees. Here's what you need: assorted colored construction paper scissors, glue sticks work the best with this project, and white or cream construction paper to glue your rainbow to. Steps: Have children cut and tear the construction paper, then have them lay out the rainbow before gluing so they understand what they will be doing. Next let them glue it all together. Trees and Bees are done the same way. If you do this as a bulletin board use the heading "God made the world wonderful". Also use a rainbow boarder, it looks wonderful!
5-18-00I taught the creation to a group of 3 and 4 year olds. I used a large display board. I covered half with black flannel and the other half with white. I cut out shapes of stars, the moon, and the sun. as I told the story I let the children place the shapes on the board. The story was divided into three weeks. The second week we added the trees and so on. This was a big hit with our children's church group.
ideaI read the story of the creation, then I used pictures for each of the seven days that it took God to make the world ex. animals day 5 sun, stars, moon day 4. and so on I put the seven no.s on a piece of tag board with space. under the no.s I put what God had made on that day. Then after the story I asked them to say it and tape the object near the no. I had to tell them where to place it, but they had lots of fun with it. Then we reviewed what God made/ did each day for day 7 I put rest/Holy and used a cross to example it. by the no. Date: 11-6-99
Name: Date: 7-13-99To help children remember how God made the world, I used one sheet of construction paper per day of creation, 7 in all. On the first page, we pasted a large black circle with a semicircle of yellow covering half of it. Over this, we pasted a large number 1. This represents the first day of creation...God created light. For the next page, a second circle of dark blue and a semi-circle of light blue placed over it, dividing it into a top and bottom half. Then a large number 2. (God divided the waters.) The third day was dry land, and then vegetation. So our circle was divide blue and brown, and on the brown half we stuck stickers of grass, flowers, trees, vegetables, etc. Then a large number 3. Day four was the planets and stars, so we used a solid black circle with a yellow number four and stickers all around the circle..stars, suns, moon, comets, etc. For day five we used a dark blue bottom half and a light blue top half of a circle, the number 5 and pasted stickers of birds and fish in the appropriate places. For day six, we used a whole green circle and glued on every sort of animal sticker we could find. Then we added stickers of multicultural children to the circle and the number 6. Day seven, that was special. We used one circle of a glittery, rainbow-colored paper and a large number 7. And then we wrote "on the 7th day, God rested." Finally, we added a construction paper cover and simply wrote on the front "In the beginning......" It was wonderful! The children found it very easy to do all by themselves and they could "read" their bible story to their parents over and over at home. |
