I stumbled across the "Sandy Tales" channel on YouTube and immediately had three thoughts:

(1) This is cool!

(2) Kids could do this. It's a neat new way to draw. And we know that drawing a story helps them remember it. Kids could work together. A lightbox would be easy to make. Good technique for expressing emotions/actions/feelings in the stories.

(3) These videos could be used to introduce Bible stories in classrooms and worship.

Harm van Schaik, the Dutch sand artist, developed this technique for his own church. The videos are available in several languages, including Spanish.

Rotation.org is a curated collection of creative Sunday School lesson plans, ideas, and resources. Contributed and improved by our members, volunteer and staff writers -- you are welcome to share what you can and glean what you need. A free registration gets you access to additional content, features, and permission to post. Supporting Members get access to our Writing Team Lesson Sets, our free software and guide downloads, and much more.

Founded in 1997, we are non-profit, non-denominational, volunteer-led, creatively inclined, and member-supported.

How Our Content is Organized
Our lesson forums are organized by Bible story and then by teaching medium (video, art, cooking, drama, etc. -- what Rotation Modelers call "workshops"). Because the Rotation Modelers who manage this site teach major Bible stories for four or five weeks in a row, some minor story forums may have less content. Traditional Sunday Schools can easily adapt "Workshop Rotation" style lessons.

Theologically Speaking
Rotation.org's history, content, membership, and leadership reflect the broad theological middle and mainline tradition. Adapt content as needed.
