Hey!
At our church, we decided to do Sunday School "to go" for from Sept through the end of 2020 so I've got some new ways of doing that.
Each child has the opportunity to pick up or be mailed a "to go" kit that includes supplies that they might not have at home as well as some craft kits. I'll list that below.
I'm creating a video each week with original content as well as some of the Saddleback kids videos that we purchased for download (which are great!)
In addition to the video, there is an instruction sheet for each week with discussion topics for families and a coloring page.
You can see at all at: https://www.communityrc.org/kids2020/
We update each week with the newest video but the old ones are all at the bottom.
In their "to go" bag, each child got the following supplies that go with lessons to take them all the way through the end of December. One pick up covers them through 2020 with the hope that maybe in January we'll be doing Children's Ministry activities in person again. Even though they have all of the supplies, I haven't posted all of the lessons and videos yet. I'm posting them weekly as they come:
- A wooden box to decorate for an upcoming Thanksgiving lesson and stickers to go with it
- A treasure digging rock that we got on a clearance at Group publishing some time ago but is basically plaster with some plastic gems inside that kids can "dig up"
- A floating toy about hope from Group publishing called the Hope n Hover that we had leftover from vbs
- A tiny spirograph toy
- A paper guess who/ bingo: https://www.communityrc.org/wp...ploads/Guess-Who.pdf
- Yarn for a weaving project
- Straws for a weaving project
- A battery tea light
- Paper sunglasses for decorating for a New Year's activity in Dec
- A Nativity Charades game from Oriental Trading
- Plastic Gems for marking their bingo card
- A plastic coin
- 2 packages of smarties candies for making scrolls
- An oriental Trading train bracelet kit
- A fuzzy Nativity poster from oriental trading
- A 3D lantern from Oriental Trading
- An Acorn craft, Advent Scratch craft, pipe cleaner angel craft, plastic nativity camera, grace ornament all from oriental trading
- 2 pipe cleaners, a magnet, a bag of beads all for making butterflies later this fall
- A big paper nativity to cut out and decorate.
I've gotten permission from some authors to read their books in my videos so that has been a fun addition.
Here's my general plan (super rough!)
Sept 24- Treasure in heaven
Make a treasure map
