Teaching Bible Stories

This will be my first year teaching Bible Stories at school. The past 2 years I have taught Sunday School to 3 & 4 year-olds at my church. I am excited to have the opportunity to share His gospel and to bring my kids closer to Christ. Join me on this new adventure!

I have decided to teach a virtue a month, instead of going through the Bible from beginning to end. I teach Bible Stories and the other preschool teacher teaches Character Building. These are our virtues for the school year. 


September- Friendship

October- Obedience

November- Thankfulness

December- Generosity

January- Respect

February- Compassion

March- Honesty

April- Integrity

May- Responsibility

FRIENDSHIP


Ruth and Naomi

I found this awesome Online Story  that has nice illustrations for younger children. I found it on biblewise.com They also have other activities for this particular story. 

After this activity, we made friendship bracelets. 


David and Johnathan
Here is another Online Story with engaging illistrations and questions to get children interested and involved from biblewise.com

I also used the David and Jonathan Free Lesson Plan from Ministry-to-children.com

After reading this story, we had a discussion about "how we can be a better friend. We did some role play and acted out simple scenes. As a class, decoded a secret message that I found on BibleWise.com
