Touch your forehead, jump in place, and then turn around.Ģ. Here are some examples of three-step instructions.ġ. You want them to practice listening, remembering, and doing more complicated things. Give all three instructions without pausing. Once they have master listening and doing two-step instructions add a third instruction. Use body parts that your children may not know the names of to help them learn new words. Blink your eyes and rub the palms of your hands together. Touch your nose with your index finger and rub your elbows together.ģ. Start with easy two-step instructions such as:ġ. Tell them that you are going to give them some instructions and they should try to listen, remember, and then do what you say. Tell your children that today they are going to practice being listeners and doers. They had a blast! When the parents picked them up they were thrilled with the project and the lesson itself.
This week we did Jonah and the Whale ( I had the milk jug whales done ahead of time) and the children colored TP Jonahs. I also found that if they have a project to go with the lesson they seem to absorb more of the lesson. What a difference! The kids cant wait to see what project we are going to be doing next. I am teaching Sunday Bible School for the first time for Primary class (First Grade) The children were doing so so with the standard lesson plan I was following (they seemed bored). You may want to let the children make up their own Bible truths and send them around the circle. When the verse gets back to the child on your right, have him say the verse. Have the children pass the verse around the circle by whispering the verse to the child on their left. Whisper part of the Bible verse or a Bible truth through the tube to the children on your left. Have your children sit in a large circle. It is hard for younger children to keep the string tight as they hold the cups so you may want to talk to each child through a different set of cups if they are having a hard time. These phones work very well if your children use them properly. Also remind them not to touch the string with their hands when holding the cups. Have them practice telling each other and listening to the Bible verse. Remind them that they have to hold the cups so the string is tight (don't let it sag in the middle) and put the cups up against their cheeks with their mouths inside the cup for the phones to work properly. Review the Bible verse and then give every two children a set of paper cup phones. Thread the other end of the string through another cup. Pull the string back through the cup so that the knot is tight up against the bottom of the cup. Tie at least 5 knots in the end of the string and cut off the end of the string up to the knot. Pull the string through the hole with tweezers. Thread kite string through the holes from the outside to the inside of the cup using the needle to poke the thread through. They will be putting their mouths on them. Make extras because you don't want the child to share them. Discuss how they are the same how they are different.īefore class make enough paper cup phones so that you have one for every child. When you have finished with your instructions tell the children to compare their papers with their classmates. Draw three small circle inside that circle and color one in. Draw a big red circle in the middle of your paper.ģ. Make up instructions for what the children should draw according to their age. Give each child a piece of paper and a pencil and tell them to listen and do exactly what you say. Today we are going to practice listening and doing what the teacher says. Remind your children that the Bible tells us to not just listen but to do what it says. Then let the next group share what they drew. Give candy prizes to the children who can say something that one of the children drew. When all five children are done, ask the other children who did not show their pictures what things they remember that the five children drew. Pick five children to show the pictures they drew at the beginning of class (or break up your class into even numbers, about five per group.) Let your children tell about all the things they drew on their pictures. Tell them that they are going to practice being good listeners in this activity.
Remind your children that God gave us our ears so that we can listen to him and to others. Cut the tab on the ears in half, where indicated, and fold one side forward and one backward.ĥ. In class, have the children color the ears and a headband made from strips of construction paper and cut them out.ģ. Before class, print out the ear pattern onto card stock.Ģ.
