Plan Realistically (planning kid ministry 01)


“Organising is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up.” A.A. Milne

 

We have all been there, the Saturday night when you are just about to drift to sleep and you realise with a jolt you are doing the kids work in the morning and you don’t even know what bible passage is!

you have 2 choices…wing it, or hope the just add water style material gives you all the answers.

 
Planning is important, it makes a huge difference to the lesson both for those leading and those participating. Just because someone had prepared your material doesn’t mean you are off the hook. So this this the first of a series to help you plan effectively and simply.
 
The first thing you need to do is be realistic in your planning. Sort out the practical things and your automatically start to see what activities and teaching methods need to be used. If you don’t know rough answers to these questions you are planning in the dark. …continue reading about Plan Realistically (planning kid ministry 01)

Hannah (1 Samuel 1) | Worksheet

 
Hannah-Worksheet
This worksheet about Hannah is suitable for all age groups, there is very little writing, one discussion prompt, and one bible verse to re-read.

The sheet consists of a prayer tree to fill in, a simple maze and a chance to give Samuel a new hairdo! The first activity, the tree, is the main focus. It is a chance to talk about evangelism, friendship and family. Don’t be concerned if during the conversation the children continue with the other activities on the page. Hannah’s actions are strange to our modern idea of family – do not be surprised if the children are negative towards her choice.

Hannah (1 Samuel 1) | Craft 2

 

This craft is linked to the hero character of Hannah. It has 2 parts to it, you can either just make the character or you can make a simplified version into a picture frame.

Both these crafts use fine motor skills, involving a lot of scissor work. If you have younger children then you may want to do this as a group activity and pre-prepare the cut-outs, if not then see the other craft linked to this lesson which is designed for younger children – Hannah’s simple robe.

Hannah (1 Samuel 1) | Craft 1

 

This craft looks great, and really is very very simple. Use any fabric you have on hand, as long as it’s a light colour, and decorate with felt tip pens or fabric pens if you have them.

You can make them full size as I did, scale them down, or even just make them out of paper.
