Art Projects
- Some students learn best by doing. Have students complete an
art project over the course of a class. Let them choose what kind: a mural,
model, play-doh sculpture, costume, collage, monologue, song, etc. Have an
exhibition at the end of the study, inviting family and church members. Let
students know early that this will happen for motivation.
| Mural |
Stretch paper across a wall and
add a scene to the mural each class period. Younger kids can draw stick
people or cut out pictures you provide and paste them into scenes.
|
| Book |
Make an illustrated book depicting
a story for a younger class. Cut pictures from magazines or draw them. |
| Video |
Make a video of students reciting
memory verses and playing out a story. Film a little each time and show the
video at the end of the series. (See Hand
Motion Stories) |
| Mobile |
Make mobiles of pictures from
the story. OR Have students draw out the scenes of a story on 3x5 cards.
Hang the cards vertically in order, with the title of the lesson on top. Use
later for review of that lesson. |
| Newspaper |
Have students write articles and
draw "photographs" for a newspaper covering the lesson. Include a crossword
puzzle, or even cartoons relating to the lesson. |
| Songbook |
Illustrate a song with pictures
from magazines and make into a book the class can sing from. (I use a song
book in my class that I helped make when I was in Sunday School!) |
| Game |
Have students design a board game
for review questions. Have them determine the rules and make the board. |
| Coloring |
When you don't have a coloring
page that fits, trace a flannel graph; trace a coloring
page from another
story or a coloring book, adapting it to your lesson; have students draw
freehand about the story; use stencils to help younger kids illustrate the
lesson.
|
| Web Page |
Have students help design a web
page with links to information on a chosen topic and original content. |
| Greeting Cards |
For lessons that have to do with
encouragement, kindness, or helping the sick, have the students make cards
for sick members of the congregation. |
