Great Resources for Teaching Kids about God

If you are a parent working on raising up your children in a way that teaches the truth about God, I want to provide you with a few of our family favorite resources. (affiliate links) Jesus Storybook Bible - This is my favorite. I tear up throughout the story, and I am amazed at how beautifully they tell the gospel story and weave Jesus into each story from the creation of the world to the end of the New Testament. I even buy this book for friends who are wanting to learn more about the Christian faith. It tells God's story in a way that makes so much sense. Long Story Short - Ten Minute Devotions to Draw Your Family to God - This is the Bible Study we are currently doing as a family, and I love it. I love that it ties the Old Testament stories to Jesus, like the "Jesus Storybook Bible." It is an engaging way to interact with your kids, with questions geared for great discussion. My oldest (age 7) is especially loving it, and it always the one who goes and grabs the book to make sure we get our devotion done. There are 5 lessons a week that take about 10 minutes. It is super manageable and brings a lot of intention into your Christian parenting journey. Even today, my daughter was whining about not getting something her sister was able to get. They had learned about the story of Cain and the word "envy." It was a great tie in to discussion about her current feelings. Although I haven't read them, the same author has two other books - Old Story New and The Gospel Bible Story. Seeds Worship CDs - These are my favorite kid music CD's to play in the car. They are not annoying! The music is well composed but straight scripture. My kids have easily memorized scriptures since we have these playing in the car. Here are some of their CD's: Seeds of Courage, Seeds of Praise, Seeds of Character, Seeds Family Worship Grace for the Moment - I haven't actually gone through this one with my kids, but I have heard great things. It is full of 365 different devotions to last throughout the year. It's written by Max Lucado, and I tend to love all of his work, so I look forward to doing this one in the future.

Loraine loves arts and crafts and used to volunteer at an elementary art class. She loves sharing fun and easy craft tutorials.
I have found that it's much easier to hold the attention of students if you get them involved. These are the criteria that I consider when planning an art or craft for a Christian doctrine class: is it meaningful, age appropriate and fun? I consider a lesson successful if the student retains the message being taught, partially because the art or craft included in the class has been enjoyable and memorable.

If you teach Sunday school, Christian doctrine classes or Bible study, I'm sure you'll be interested in the Christian crafts found in this article. Use the information to simplify the planning of your classes.

Find out how easy it is to make the Noah's Ark project shown above by going to the Mama Jenn site.

1. I Can Pray When

This is such a cute idea for helping the little ones understand that you can pray anytime and for anything. The tutorial for this project can be found at Crafting The Word Of God.

2. Learn the Beatitudes

You might call this a real hands on project. Forget I said that. The kids will love using their own hands as a pattern to make this project. Learning the beatitudes will be easy while following the instructions, to make this project, at Christianity Cove.

3. Prophecy and Fulfillment

This activity is an Old Testament prophecy/New Testament fulfillment lesson on Jesus' birth. You'll find all the instructions, and downloads, at I Can Teach My Child.

4. Ten Commandment iPhone

Do you think that if Moses were to receive the Ten Commandment today, that God may have sent them by phone? No, I don't think so either. But maybe this project will be interesting to the kids who are studying the commandments. Find the patterns and instructions for this project at Kids & Glitter.

5. Rocking Noah's Ark

This paper plate art project will be so much fun for the kids. First they will make the ark and then all the characters that make up the Noah's Ark story. Go to All Kids Network for the instructions.

6. Noah's Ark Cut & Carry

A project especially for preschool students. This Noah's Ark cut and carry has downloads and instructions at Bible Fun for Kids.

7. Fruits of the Spirit Basket

I love all the different bible craft projects that help the kids hear and retain the lessons of the Bible. For this Fruits of the Spirit craft, go to Bible Crafts and
Activities for the instructions.

8. Pumpkin Prayer

I love it when some ordinary action can be an opportunity for prayer. This pumpkin prayer is a perfect example. Find the template for this prayer at First Grade with Miss Snowden.

9. ABC Bible Verse Flashcards

Homeschool Creations shares with us this fantastic way to learn Bible verses, whether young or old. The printables are included with the directions for making these flashcards.

10. Pony Bead Cross Necklace

I can imagine that the kids will have lots of fun making their own cross necklace to wear or to give as a gift. Find the instructions for this beaded cross craft at Reinvented Style.

11. Bible Verse Candle Holders

On this site, Scripture and...Music...Crafts...Life you'll find out how to print images on tissue paper and how to decoupage the images onto glass candle holders. A very nice tutorial on this site.

12. Jesus Rocks

What a great opportunity to talk to the little ones about how God made everything in nature and how blessed we are to have such beauty around us. Go to YarniGras

13. Parable of the Lost Sheep

On her blog, Michelle Paige has a great lamb project to make after reading the parable about Jesus and the Lost Sheep. This story reminds us about how much God loves each of us.

14. Fishers of Men Tackle Box

The kids make a tackle box and fill it with items that will be used to witness for Christ. Christian Games and Crafts is where you'll find this Fishers of Men project.

15. Empty Tomb Jelly Bean Game

This blog has two games and a lesson plan to make this a perfect classroom or home Lenten game. Go to The Catholic Toolbox for the complete lesson plan, game and tutorials.

16. Jonah and the Whale Quiet Book

I'm so impressed with this Jonah and the Whale quiet book, and it definitely is a labor of love. Find all the information you need to make this book at Get Your Craft O n.

17. Heart Pocket

18. Prayer Jar

I love this prayer jar idea because it reminds us to give our worries and cares to the Lord as in Psalm 55:22 which says, "Give your burdens to the Lord, and He will take care of you." You can find more information and the tutorial for making this prayer jar at When Life Gave Me Lemonade. I think this is a great idea for family and classroom use. An appropriate Lenten project also.

19. Learning About Forgiveness

This is a nice art project to use when studying the Bible story about the Prodigal Son. Find a nice explanation of the parable and the instructions for the craft project at Meaningful Mama. Bible stories, just like other classroom subjects, make a more lasting impression when an art project is included.

20. Feeding the Multitudes

Help the kids remember the Bible story about Jesus feeding the 5000 with loaves and fishes by doing this activity. You'll find an impressive craft and tutorial at Crafting the Word of God.

21. Christmas Countdown Calendar

You'll love how easy it will be to help the kids make this Christmas countdown calendar. I love this project! Find the instructions at Bible Study Printables.

22. Eggshell Cross

You'll find a recipe for coloring eggs, plus the instructions for making this beautiful eggshell cross at Amy's Free Ideas. Remember to save the shells from the Easter eggs for this project.

We are really excited to have launched our first ever app!

100 Questions is a really simple to use youth work app designed to help you build relationships with young people. It is available for iOS and (finally) Android.

The app contains 100 random questions ideal for ice breaker settings. The questions cover a range of topics including:

Getting to know each other

Hopes and dreams

Beliefs

Social justice

To use the app you simply download it from the relevant app store, open it up and you're presented with one of the questions. To move onto the next question you tap the button at the base of the screen or shake your device. The 100 questions are displayed in a random order.

How could you use the app?
As we created the app we had a few ideas in mind of how you could use it:

1 - Mentoring - It's perfect for using in a mentoring session especially when you first get to know a mentee. You could shake your phone and answer the question and pass it across and repeat the process or both answer each question...use it for as long or little as you like.

2 - Youth Groups - When you've got a new group to get to know them you could pass your device around a circle (If you want to lock the app to the screen so other apps can't be used whilst using it then check out the article on guided access from Apple)

3 - On a screen! - If you've got a bigger event and an AppleTV or lightning to VGA/HDMI adapter you could present the app onto the big screen and use it with a bigger group!

Questions, comments and suggestions
We hope you like the app and find it useful. If you have questions, comments, suggestions or ideas of what our next app should be then do get in touch!

Churches have more choices than ever before when choosing a curriculum for their kids ministry. There are traditional Christian publishers, free lesson plans, and instant download materials.

GO! children's ministry curriculum starts with GOD. He is the ultimate storyteller and the Bible has the greatest story ever told. As ministry leaders, our joy is helping kids discover that story and experience the love of Jesus Christ.

We want every lesson plan to be a life-changing experience for kids. Since children are active by God's design, we make active learning a core part of our curriculum . Since kids are social by God's design, we make relationship a key element in every lesson.

Try the free curriculum sample in your church or Sunday School. Then let us know what you think. We're confident that GO! can make your teaching more effective.

In education, a curriculum is broadly defined as the totality of student experiences that occur in the educational process. The term often refers specifically to a planned sequence of instruction, or to a view of the student's experiences in terms of the educator's or school's instructional goals. (source "Curriculum" on Wikipedia )

We couldn't agree more! That's why our children's ministry curriculum is focused on the whole experience of the child. Our chronological approach gets them into every major story and division in the Bible.
