Clay and Stylus -- When talking about scribes copying the Biblical text, a stylus type item (or toothpick) could be used to copy a Bible verse onto clay. This would also work with the 10 Commandments.
Making pottery – can be used with many lessons – woman at the well, water to wine, etc.
Combining art and music by creating original rhythm instruments, then spending time with them in a music segment at the end of class.
Poster creation – students use colorful markers to create a poster that includes words, phrases, and drawings to convey an idea or concept from the Bible lesson.
Stitching project – Lydia
Collage – a small creation expressing a scene or idea from the lesson. A Thanksgiving collage that incorporates some things the child is thankful for.
Bookmaking -- used with a wide variety of stories. A small group could be assigned a specific part of the story. The various pages could be bound in order into a book.
Mosaics -- The churches and buildings in the Holy Land are filled with mosaics. What about allowing the students to create a small paper
mosaic of the loaves and fishes. After they have completed their mosaics, you might want to show them a photo of the ancient church
mosaic in Israel.
