Gearing Up For Grandparent's Day - A Big Day in Sunday School Class

Celebrating Grandparent's Day is not only a fun holiday that children get to give cards and gifts to their grandparents. It is also a day of recognizing how special grandparents are, and how long they have been around to experience history. Grandparents can tell so many stories of the "good ole days," and children can have a personal glimpse of what life was really like for folks growing up in the early to mid-1900s. Make this day extra nice in your Sunday school class with these holiday-oriented ideas.

Cards for Grandparents

Of course, giving gifts and cards to grandparents is fun on this special day. As a class activity, why not bring in an assortment of scrapbooking materials and let children make handmade cards. You can encourage your students to bring in pictures from home to personalize the cards even more. Supply scissors, glue sticks, stickers, ribbons, and other materials to help the cards come to life. This is great for classes of any age or grade.

Make a Family Tree

This activity is especially fun for older children who understand how a family is made. Print out a tree coloring page from any website. Make apples for the tree using green and red construction paper. Have children write the names of family members on the apples and glue them onto the tree in proper order. Have the grandparents on each side of the family on the top, move down to mom and dad, and then to the kids. Let kids put their pets on the tree, too! Done right, this would make a great gift for grandparents.

Bake a Treat

Consider baking a special treat for the children to their grandparents, such as muffins, cookies or other point in the home, such as "grandma to use." Store cookies in zipper bag with a special note or a poem attached to the outside of the bag. If you do not have access to a large kitchen at your church, is cooked ahead of time, andhave children decorate the bags in class.

Class Grandparent Adoption

Take a field trip on this Sunday to a local nursing home that allows children to adopt a grandparent. You can adopt one lady or man to be your class grandparent. Some people in nursing homes rarely get visitors or gifts, and as a class you can be sure to fill a void in a person's life. What a great way to start such a project than on Grandparent's Day! But, do not forget this special person throughout the year. Remember to visit them often (perhaps families of students taking turns each week), and send goodies for all special occasions.

These ideas have probably sparked many other ideas for what you can teach in Sunday school this week. Great lessons for this week include Abraham in old age (Genesis 24-25) or a lesson in the book of Timothy. Encourage your students to spend time with their grandparents this day, and to take time to appreciate who they are and all the wonderful knowledge they hold. God bless each and every grandparent!

Crafts Church - Two ways to be creative in Sunday School

Sunday school activities should be fun, creative and challenging. A lot of time, but you may have a difficult time coming to church, interesting crafts that your children enjoy the church. Here, two Sunday school crafts for your students to enjoy.

Stained Glass Bible Activities

To craft the Bible, you will need the following supplies:

* Wash-out marker
* Coffee filters
* Construction paper
* Spray bottle filled withWater
* Clear on paper

Distribute a coffee filter to every student ministry for their children, and advise them to color with markers at will (it is imperative that you put the markers that are washable). Next have the children spray the coffee filter with a spray bottle.

After the filter is dry, cut a cross from the construction paper to each student of the liturgy of your children (I recommend you do these pre-cut before the class or the ability of your childreneven if they are old enough). Now glue the colored filters help the students to the construction paper and cover with clear paper to make sure it lasts as long as possible. The students love it, something to take home to their families, and it will be a great addition to your resume.

Sandpaper Sunday School Craft

This is a big job to do if your church Sunday school curriculum includes current Egypt. For this job, you mustpieces of sandpaper big enough for each student to have a number of colored pencils.

Instruct your children to take to church for a scene in an Egyptian student on sandpaper. Encourage them, pyramids, a sunset, and people sectors. Tell them to be sure that they are difficult for the pastels to get the best print results.

This children's Bible crafts Ministry gives students something to bring to your families at home, its that they stimulate discussion on lessonslearned in Sunday school.

These two church crafts are great ways to get your students to use their creative sides and also the support of other classes you teach.

Here are some ideas for supporting children's behavior in this period.

Rules in September

No matter what age children you teach, you must establish the rules of the class. These rules should always be simple and factual. You still have many rules so that children feel trapped in them. For example, listen to simple rules like "always" is not only to listen, but the other children. Think about what is expected of children and startfrom there. It 's a good idea, all the rules to account for the class so there are opportunities for them, their significance unrecognized.

Know your children,

An important step in the order in the classroom will always know the children personally. Talk with parents and find out if there were behavior problems at home or when the child with a medical condition that causes the behavior can be diagnosed. Find out what works best for your children and whatArt class to meet better.

A reward system

A reward system works very well for children of all ages, especially children before school age. It could be something as simple as a star stickers to earn a week for his excellent behavior, and let children take their star their Sunday school attendance chart. At the end of many weeks, children can earn a prize from a prize box. Other ideas are plastic coins to earn "BibleBucks "or something that small children can work for a bigger reward. It 's always a good idea, the reward system in a place where you can see every week to maintain. This gives them a visual reminder of what expected of them.

It has many short, simple activities that last no morea few minutes. Remember that young children a span of attention and will need many small steps to keep their interest. Clay, puzzles, blocks, simple games and even a quick walk around the church all the activities that will soon be driving their attention.

There is always the child that can not behave during the Sunday School. Learn to distract, that is the child's behavior is the best solution. Maintain open communication with parents of students, use the tipsmentioned above, and you should be able to run a tight ship in class each week.
