Teaching Thoughts
These are a few bonus thoughts- keep scrolling for more!
Have some fun with flashlights and see if they can follow your example to make some simple shadow puppets.
Make a Hall of Fame with gospel pictures on your whiteboard. Then challenge your class to make their own Hall of Fame of good examples in their lives (including scriptural examples). You can print my free handout in my Primary 6 Lesson 26 helps.
Use the scripture poster and candle object lesson included in the Red Headed Hostess class packet.
