Perk Up Kids’ Bible Class with Shapes

February 24, 2021 by Kathy Petrillo Leave a Comment

 

Children have vivid imaginations. Anything within their reach can easily and quickly become “something else”. In this visual aid, shapes become the characters involved in a very dramatic, but child friendly, event.  

The story is an application about intolerance or prejudice. It may be used with Jonah, the Good Samaritan or any other time you wish to spotlight the flaws of prejudice and the success of working together despite being different from one another. Working together WITH our differences is what God wants. God sent His son, Jesus, to die for ALL mankind!

This story did not originate with me, and the original author is unknown. The dear ladies at https://www.bibleclassworkshop.com/ were kind enough to share the original version with me. Here it is: Original Prejudice Application

I have re-written the original story somewhat. You may download my version of the story script and the shapes here.  Of course, you may adapt the story and visuals to fit your particular teaching situation. Prejudice Application Jonah, Good Samaritan All of the visuals from the story can be seen below. I added a few pages on to the original visual set.

During the COVID-19 isolation period, I taught this lesson in a kids’ Bible class video on YouTube. The lesson was about Jonah. You may see the entire lesson presentation including the shapes application by going here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQzBlgEu6NE&list=PLkJ7psdIV2kyqnF0-1M3rlg_Zu4JdkaFU&index=5

Thank you for you time in preparation and teaching to our children. May God bless you with wisdom, energy and lots of ideas! More ideas may be found on my website: https://kidsbibleclassideas.com/

Welcome to Come Fill Your Cup!

CFYC About Image Welcome! We are so glad you stopped by. Come Fill Your Cup is a group of Christian ladies dedicated to equipping women for study and service. We know you are busy and that life’s hectic pace pulls you in so many directions, but you can’t truly be the woman God desires unless you take time to fill your own cup…not with spa days (though we love a good spa!) or the latest novel…but with God’s Holy Word. We want to help you with that! Our goal is to reach you in the midst of your busy day and give you encouragement, education, and fellowship as you strive to live the life God has laid before you. Our prayer is that we can help fill your cup so that you, in turn, can overflow to all those around you. So, as we like to say…come fill your cup, and let it overflow!
