Spies- "Spy Kit"

Originally posted by Neil MacQueen

I'm thinking "SPY KIT."
Secret instructions.
Disappearing ink, or reappearing (the old lemon juice on paper trick).
Magnifying glass.
Hidden compartments.
Decoder ring.
Binoculars.

How do we check out/discern a situation?
How do we learn what God wants us to do?
How do we know if it is a safe way to live/go?
What are the problems we'll encounter if we go that way.

Come up with a lesson in which the kids DISCOVER the story pieces and construct a kit they can play with at home that will remind them of the story.

Spies- Movie Clips from "Harriot the Spy"

Posted by Carol Morain

This reminds me of the movie "Harriot the Spy." I don't know if you could see clips from it, but what she spied was not necessarily the truth! She finds out in the end and gets herself in trouble (not to mention writing down what she thinks about everyone and them finding the notebook! But that doesn't even have to be addressed) I think if it was purchased in DVD it could be made into a video clip. I confess I haven't tried it yet, this rotation isn't for a couple of months for us!

Spies/ 12 Tribes Art Idea

Posted by Luanne Payne

12 Tribes - when we did a study on the tabernacle my sister-in-law made a high priest costume for me and we had him visit the church during children's story time - but why I bring this up is he wore a breast plate made up of jewels representing all 12 tribes - this might make a good art project and discussion around the 12 tribes, their names, and why Moses would have picked a spy from each tribe. They could do a wall hanging with those jewels you can buy in craft stores.

Rotation.org is a curated collection of Sunday School lesson plans, ideas, and resources for creative teachers that have been contributed by our members. In addition, we have a "Writing Team" producing extra-creative lesson plans for our Supporting Members. We are non-profit, non-denominational, volunteer-led, creatively inclined, and here to help!

You are welcome to glean and contribute ideas. Keep in mind that we're striving for something more creative than coloring pages and cutesy crafts. Our age range is primarily elementary age. Writing Team Lesson Sets have age adaptations for both younger and older students.

Registering for free gets you access to additional content and features, as well as, permission to post. Supporting Members get access to Writing Team Lesson Sets and numerous site features.

How Our Content is Organized
Lesson Topics are organized by Bible story, then by teaching medium (video, art, cooking, drama, etc. (what Rotation Modelers call "workshops"). Traditional Sunday Schools can easily adapt "Workshop Rotation" lessons.

Rotation Modelers teach "major" Bible stories for four or five weeks in a row, thus, "minor" story topics may not have much in them. Request help with any lesson in our Teachers Lounge.

Theologically Speaking
Rotation.org's history, content, membership, and leadership reflect the broad theological middle and mainline tradition. We expect every church to adapt content.
