Crafts: Christian Resources

June 20th, 2008

Christian resources are aids and props that bring character and life to Christian stories. It can be very challenging to keep the attention of children–almost impossible if you are just reciting a story in front of a group. Kids need to be visually stimulated when they are listening to stories. Sometimes listening is out of the question and activities are the only way to get, and keep, their attention.

One of the easiest Christian resources to use is a fabric board that uses cutout pieces to represent people, animals and places. Although fabric pieces may not have the dimension and depths of a da Vinci, they work perfectly for making children smile and listen. Its always a bonus when you can pass out activity sheets for the kids to color themselves, too.

Christian Resources for Life
Some of the most memorable Christian resources are song lyrics. Kids love singing, and singing a song helps their memory skills. In fact, there are many Christian songs from my youth that I still remember all of the lyrics to. Many Bible versus will be ingrained in my head for life because I learned them to the beat of music.

Christian resources also give you ideas for games and activities that are focused around learning the Bible. Sometimes it is nice to have a little help trying to come up with a religious message that relates to everyday situations, and that children will understand. With the right resources, you can become a successful teacher who plants a seed.
