The following items are included in your Teaching Essentials to provide you with some extra options and features for some of the lessons. From time to time an item is referenced in the lesson text for the teacher. The ideas and suggestions listed below are in addition to those and are meant to be a springboard for your own creativity in the classroom. Please give us some feedback as to how you use these items in your lessons. We want to hear from you. Happy teaching!
Attendance Chart
Use this chart to help track attendance in your class. Encourage the children to come every week and even bring a friend. Mark the chart and consider rewarding the children for every five marks by their names.
Foam Globe
One of these is included in each kit. Pass around the globe while waiting for class to begin. Allow children to investigate the globe, while explaining the green color represents the land and the blue color represents the water in the world.
Rainbow Crayon
Use the rainbow crayon to draw a rainbow for your children. Let each child use the crayon to draw a rainbow on his or her own sheet of paper. Using the rainbow crayon, write each child’s name on a piece of white paper.
Vinyl Snake
Let the children stretch and play with the snake before class starts. Use the snake to represent the serpent when teaching Unit 2.
Ark Animal Stickers
Use these stickers on the attendance chart.
Use to reward special effort, good behavior, or participation in an activity or project.
Use to mark special effort on Take ‘n Talk sheets or other projects.
God Made Families Stickers
Place each sticker on a separate index card. Write underneath who each person is. Spread them on a table and ask the children to find the mother, father, grandparent, etc.
Music CD
The CD provides music to correlate with each lesson’s theme or memory verse. Use it to add interest and activity to the lesson times.
Play the music while the students enter the room and wait for class to begin.
