It is important for parents to make kids bible lessons more
interesting. We all know for a fact that
the attention span of kids is not that good. You can only have their attention
for a short period of time. So, if you
are not creative enough in your teaching strategies, then, chances are that you
will not be able to finish your lessons in one sitting. That is why, it is essential for you to incorporate
some creative ideas onto your teaching strategies so that your kids will be
able to learn the bible lessons and stories that you wish to impart to
them. Listed below are some helpful tips
that you can use to be able to make bible sharing more enjoyable for the whole
family.
Puppet Show
Kids love animated shows. If you are really creative enough and if you
have a knack for creating puppets, then, I suggest that you try to make puppets
that are related to the story. You can
actually make a research on the internet with regards to puppet making. You do not have to make it complicated. All you have to do is to make the characters
recognizable and make it as colorful as possible so that your kids will be able
to learn about the characters in the bible without having any problems at all.
Creative Props
You need to have some props for your kids bible lessons so that you can make
it more interesting for your children.
You need to feed their eyes visually so that they can grasp the things
that you are trying to teach them in an easier manner. You can actually ask them to make the props
with you so that you can have some time together prior to the lessons. This will give your kids an idea on what the
lessons will be all about.
Adding Music Into The Lesson Itself
Most kids are into music. They usually love to hear upbeat songs and
dance along with it. There are so many
Christian songs for kids that you can let them listen to before you start the
actual lesson. Most of these songs speak
about God’s love for kids and you can let them sing along with the songs as you
go along. Try to research on the
internet with regards to the different songs that are applicable for your
children’s age. You can also print out
the lyrics of the song so that you can teach these to your kids too.
When all of these things are done, you can
make a short recap of the lesson and ask your kids what they have learned from
it. Ask them how they can apply these
lessons in their day to day living and how they can glorify God through these
acts. Through this, you will be able to
gauge if you are making any progress in your bible sharing. Remember, kids bible lessons are very important in your kid’s life as they
grow so you have to see to it that you will exert some effort in order to see
the fruits of your labor.
