Children's Ministry Resources
The Hottest Trends and Fun Activities that Teach the Bible
Children's Ministry resources have found a way to entice today's kids. There is a huge demand for interactive ways to teach the Bible. Here are the hottest trends.
Children's Ministry is all about gathering a group of kids and teaching Bible lessons, relating the Bible to their lives today, and keeping the kids interested in learning about Jesus. In order to accomplish this serious goal, many pastors and directors are looking for Children's Ministry resources and innovative ways to bring the Message to the children.
Here are the hottest trends and fun activities that teach the Bible while holding the children's interest in the lesson you are trying to get across to them.
Puppet Ministry Puppets have been around for quite a while, but they have never gone out of style. A Puppet Ministry can be as elaborate or simple as you want it to be. Puppets hold the interest of kids between the ages of 2 through 10, depending on the skits that you choose, and they always want to see more. Having a puppet show based on biblical principles is easy with resources available on the Internet. Just type "puppet ministry" into a search engine, and you will literally get thousands of results that you can use.
Illusionists. The main thing to remember when dealing with illusions in your presentation of Bible lessons is that they are merely "illusions," and there is no such thing as magic. The good thing about illusions is they hold a child's attention like nothing else can, and you can really relate Bible lessons with the tricks, if you pull it off the right way. Keep in mind that your scripts are actually more important than the trick themselves.
Balloon Twisting. Have you ever thought of yourself as a great balloon artist? Well now is the time to learn. Balloon twisting is very popular with kids, and Children's Ministry is now the premiere place to practice your skills. There are DVDs available that can show you step-by-step how to create balloons that relate to Bible messages. You might try Balloon Modeling Made Easy Video Workshop or Magic Hands Balloon Twisting.
Don't be afraid to ask your students what they would like to see in Children's Ministry. After all, is this not who you are trying to reach? Take some of their suggestions and turn them into valuable ways to teach Bible lessons. You will be amazed what a little imagination can do to turn a worldly action into a priceless Bible truth. At the very least, you can use some worldly comparisons to teach the difference in what the Bible says we should do. Best of all, have fun with your students and they will want to come back again and again.
