Rotation Ideas

Hi Deb
Wow, a whole rotation sounds like it could be tough. Especially if you have kindergarten and first graders in the rotation, which I assume you probably do. Would your pastor be open to having John Knox and Reformation included in a rotation about being Presbyterian? (I am assuming you are in a Presbyterian congregation, hence John Knox?)
Anyway, here are some thoughts to consider if that were to be possible:

Drama: Tell the story about John Knox; something of his life, and also the beginnings of the Presbyterian tradition. Point out to the children that there are many famous people who are Presbyterians. Mr. Rogers is one of them. Then invite the kids to create a "Mr. Rogers Neighborhood" sort of show using the information about Knox/Reformation. Perhaps video tape it?
Option 2: The song "Jesus Loves Me" was written by two Presbyterian sisters. Sing the song, illustrate it, learn it is ASL.
Art: The Presbyterian church symbol is a wonderful example of what we believe as a church and much of that can be traced back to the important aspects of Presbyterian beginnings in the Reformation. Learn about the symbol and invite the students to create a banner or poster using the symbol.
Movies: I expect you can get a video about the life of John Knox from your Presbytery resource center or from the denominatiuonal publishing sources.
Bible Skills and games: our national government is based on the Presbyterian form of gov't. Research and learn about the similarities and differences. Learn about the famous people who were Presbyterians in our national history. (signers of the Declaration for example.)
Much of this information is available in books and probably even on the denomination web site.
Last, but of course not least, invite your pastor to dress up as Knox and do a "you were there" sort of first person account of the Reformation times! Maybe someone else could be Francis Makemie and they could debate?
I hope this is helpful or at least gives you some place to "spring board" from. I think when you get something put together you should share it with the rest of us!
Good luck and God bless,
