The goal of workshop rotation is to
teach children with biblical and faith
truths so that they will develop
integrated faith that helps them
make meaningful connections from
the Bible to their daily lives.
 

The Physical Space

Children "read" the environment we create for them.

What does our environment say to our children about God?

• Our classrooms are vibrant, fun places to learn.

• We want our children to feel God's love and warmth even from the paint on the walls.

• Workshops are designed to suit their function. No two workshops are alike.

Theater Workshop

Visual media plays a big role in our children's lives through television, movies and music videos.

This powerful and influential tool helps our children experience and understand their biblical

history. Video selections reinforce the Bible story as a re-enactment, placing the story in

context, or as a reflection of the Bible story on contemporary living. The workshop leader

helps to relate the video story to the unit of study and our response as Christians.

Art Workshop

This is not for crafts. It is for children's art. Art projects are more complex. They

require thinking and expressing, not just assembly and cut and paste. Art projects allow a

student to manipulate the materials to a express the story. This workshop allows a creative

expression of the story. We explore with a variety of creative media: clay, paints, crayons,

fabric, glass, chalk, sculpture, etc..

Storytelling Workshop

Listen to a storyteller, in first person, and in costume. The workshop helps to relate experiences

of the Bible story before, during, and after the events of the Bible. "Guest" speaking in the first person

recount experiences about the actual life and times, weather, economy, customs, games, reactions,

and responses. Children can talk and ask questions of the Bible character.

Computer Workshop

Children are comfortable working with a computer and mouse. Most kids are more computer literate

than Bible literate. This workshop will allow children to do research with the software, Bible, or

Bible atlas, cross-reference Bible stories with scripture, create newspapers, create computer-drawn

pictures, develop crossword puzzles and games for classmates.

Drama Workshop

Interpret the Bible story in large body movement and physical activities. Children re-enact a Bible

story. Children learn the story by being in the story. By acting out the story, children begin

to empathize with the characters as real people- their feelings and emotions. "how does it feel?"

"How would you react?" The bible is less abstract when children can place themselves in the story.

Children retain the facts of a story they have experienced.

Bible Games Workshop

This workshop teaches the rotation story or theme with traditional paper, pencils, books, and maps.

The children are motivated by the use of fun games and projects. While teaching each rotation's Bible

story, the games workshop emphasizes where and how to find the story, facts of the story,

Bible geography, Bible culture, and how the story fits into the large story.

Other workshops include cooking and puppetry.
