52 Bible Lessons Lorraine Gilbert

This book was designed as a Bible curriculum to introduce children to the Bible. It is designed so that you can start incorporating it during any time of the year. It is centered on children 6-12 years old. This book may be used as a Sunday School curriculum, weekly church activity, or as a homeschool curriculum. This book is designed for any Christian denomination. It starts in Genesis and systematically touches all 66 books of the Bible, encompassing lessons for major Christian events. It incorporates the Christian calendar, school calendar, and major U. S. holidays because children's lives revolve around school and holidays. It is designed for non-clergy and non-teachers, realizing that most volunteers at church do not have a degree in Divinity and/or Education. Most lessons have a true 5-minute prep. Craft items may be easily found at most larger discount stores. The book has an easy to follow format. Each lesson begins with a "Warm-up" designed to get children focused on the lesson, but allows late-comers a chance to catch up. Next is a "Lesson" that is planned for approximately 20 minutes. During this time children will look up verses in their Bible. Encouraging them to really dig into their Bible and learn how it is laid-out. The lesson is followed by a "Snack". The snack is optional and can be as elaborate or simple as you choose. Ideas for snacks that relate to the lesson are provided each week; however, a standard simple snack is a great option. Each lesson is concluded with an "Activity", game, or craft that relates to the lesson. You will need a copy of the Teacher Workbook. You may purchase the Teacher Workbook at www.52BibleLessons.com.
