Bible lessons are certainly the main ingredient to a successful children's liturgy class. However, if you only stick to teaching various lessons, your students may become bored and uninterested over time. To help get your kids excited about learning about the Bible, incorporate various church crafts and brainstorm other fun Sunday school ideas that can coincide with your Bible lesson plan.
Basket of Blessings Sunday School Idea
For this church craft, you'll need the following for each student:
*Green and brown construction paper
*Brown paper lunch bag
The brown paper lunch bag will represent the basket in this activity. Before your children's liturgy class starts, cut out four fish shapes from the green construction paper and ten loaves of bread from the brown construction paper for each child. Put two paper fish and four loaves of bread into a bag for each of your students. Fold the top of the bag down so that the bag's contents can't be seen.
When class starts, hand out two fish and five loaves of bread to each child. Tell them to place their paper fish and bread into their bags with their eyes closed. Now ask for a volunteer to say a blessing over the meal. Explain to your class that this is the same meal that Jesus used to feed five thousand people in the Bible lesson you've covered. Now ask your class to take the paper meals out of their bags. They'll see that their lunch has doubled, just like in the story! This Sunday school idea is perfect to coincide with the Bible lesson from Matthew 14:15-21.
Basket of Sacrifices Church Craft
You'll need the following for this Sunday school idea:
*Scissors
*Construction paper
*Glue
*Stickers
*Crayons
*One piece of poster board
Cut the poster board into a big basket shape. Have your children's liturgy class help you cut the construction paper into strips and glue them onto the poster basket in a basket weave, criss-cross pattern. Now have your students rip pieces of green construction paper to represent grass; have them glue the grass at the top of the basket. Now let your kids go crazy decorating the poster board basket with glitter and crayons.
For the next several classes, when a student does a particularly good deed, allow him or her to cut out a construction paper egg and decorate it and then glue it to the basket. This is great to coincide with Easter Bible lessons.
