We are studying some of the great kings of the Bible for VBS this year. We called it Lifting up the King because that is the theme for this year and it tied in perfectly.
As you have probably seen the last couple of weeks, I decided to create some of the pieces for the Armor of God found in Eph. 6:10-20. This week is the Sword of the Spirit. Each piece takes a little time to assemble, but is worth it! If you do not want to make them for the students, these can be used as a teacher's visual.
This continues the pieces of the Armor of God. One thing led to another (as it usually does) as I taught the lesson about Jesus healing the Centurion's Son to the 3 year old class. I started with the shield and added the helmet. When I was getting the Armor of God lesson ready for the second grade class, I wanted more hands-on pieces. Since I have mostly boys this year, I thought they would really love having these. So, here we are with the helmet.
When I taught the 3 year old class about Jesus Heals the Centurion's Son, I made a helmet and shield for them to wear (and take home) as a hands-on review. I decided to create more printables because I have mostly boys this year and of course they will love the weapons!
This style of visual is used to put the pieces of the puzzle together as you teach the lesson. The lesson is included in the download and everything is numbered to make it easy to use.
When I taught the Jesus Healed the Centurion's Son lesson to the 3 year old class, I made the students a Roman helmet and shield to talk about the soldier. I decided to add a couple of printables to use with the second grade class for the Armor of God lesson.
Our VBS this year is Lifting Up the King. We will study some
great kings of the Bible: David, Solomon, Josiah and Jesus. Jesus being the
greatest King of all. This post includes the banners (flags) I created for our classroom.
This is a short (but special) post with a set of Bible Fact Cards that can be used for Bible memory for preschool. After a prayer and songs, we begin our lessons with this Bible review.
This is a set of visuals to use with the lesson about the 7 different churches in Asia that John wrote about in Revelation. See below for more on the visuals.
I have been wanting to expand the last days of Jesus lessons. I have them very condensed for my age group and because of the weeks I have them vs. the lessons I want to teach. This continues from Part B with some review and is about Jesus being crucified and the resurrection of Jesus. Scripture reference is Matthew 27:26-28:8.
