This curriculum is a hands-on, multi-sensory, and multi-dimensional. This approach has increased Bible knowledge, it is motivating, and it will be fun. Every concept we teach help our children develop a life-long relationship with, an understanding of, and a love for, our Lord. The curriculum runs as a workshop rotation model. Our kids will learn a different segment of an in depth Bible story for a six week period. The rotations are listed below:
Story Telling
Using various techniques, the entire (six lesson) story is told bringing all the segments together cohesively. This workshop connects the story with God’s overall plan for us.
Intelligences– Intrapersonal; Linguistic– verbal, interpersonal; Spatial– visual
Drama
This workshop provides our children a variety of different drama experiences to ingrain the lesson. Bible stories are re-in-acted using stage sets, lighting, and costumes. After rehearsing, children also have the opportunity to perform their production for parents and guests for the last 15 minutes of class on Wednesday evenings.
Linguistic– verbal; Bodily– kinesthetic, interpersonal, musical
Geography
This workshop involves experiencing time lines, maps Biblical artifacts, clothing of the culture/ era, kid friendly research in an effort to learn about REAL PLACES, REAL PEOPLE, and a REAL GOD.
Linguistic– verbal, interpersonal; Spatial– visual; Logical– mathematical, naturalistic; Bodily– kinesthetic, musical
Games
Playing interactive games… emphasis on ACTIVE! This is a fun way to reinforce and review key concepts, facts, and memory objectives.
Linguistic– verbal; Bodily– kinesthetic; Logical– mathematical, interpersonal
Creation Station
This workshop is designed for “hands-on” experiences. The child creates, designs, and implements various projects that demonstrate concrete application of the lesson’s concepts/principles. Art projects, cooking experiences, and science experiments allow our children to explore and apply Biblical truths to their lives in ways that they will remember.
Spatial– visual; Bodily– kinesthetic; Logical– mathematical, naturalistic
Music & Memory
Music embeds memory. Even those with no natural musical “talent” may be music smart. Learning is enhanced through sound, rhythm, and music. In this workshop children lift their voices in praise, use sign language, play memory games, learn songs in other languages, and rehearse songs to perform for our church family.
Linguistic– verbal; Bodily– kinesthetic, musical
