Sunday School Bulletin Board Ideas
Bring Excitement and Activity into the Preschool Classroom
Oct 11, 2007
Whether you have a Sunday School bulletin board that is devoted specifically to preschoolers, or simply have a section of the bulletin board geared toward this age group, it can be difficult to incorporate ideas that can keep this age group entertained and occupied, while still teaching them the concepts you want them to understand.
Here are some helpful ideas for bulletin additions for your little Sunday Schoolers:
Coloring Pages
Coloring pages are wonderful for preschoolers. You can download free copies of Christian pictures for little ones to color from the “Christian Coloring Pages” website. Pictures depicting stories of Adam and Eve, Moses, Jesus, even the Parables of Christ, along with many others, are available free of charge. Visit Christian (Bible) Coloring Pages to download these wonderful teachers helps. Coloring pages hung up make a very nice Christian bulletin board.
Prewriting Skills
Tracing
Preschoolers are learning all kinds of wonderful skills. Tracing activities build fine motor skills and help children learn valuable lessons about the Bible at the same time. DLTK’s Growing Together website offers free tracing pages for little ones, with Bible Themes to help them learn about the Lord, while learning numbers, letters, shapes and other good stuff. Visit the DLTK.com bulletin board section for more information or to obtain downloadable copies of these great resources.
Connect the Dots
Using connect the dot pictures in your Sunday School bulletin will help preschoolers develop fine motor skills, while learning about the story you are trying to teach. For free printable copies of connect the dot Bible pictures visit A Kids Heart.
Mazes
The “Calvary Kids Pages” website offers a variety of mazes for Sunday School bulletin or activity use. Also check out KidPrintables.com for mazes and other fun activities.
Bible Story Pictures
These pictures are wonderful for telling many of the Bible's greatest stories (and teaching its most endearing lessons) to children. Wordless pictures illustrate the lives of Bible men and women in dramatic, detailed image. For free Bible Story Pictures covering every period of Biblical History from Genesis through the early church, visit the “La Vista, Church of Christ” website.
Things to do with Mom and Dad
Stories
Including activities that can be done by preschoolers with a little help from Mom or Dad can also be a way to reach your little ones through the Sunday School bulletin board. Consider including a short excerpt from this week's Bible lesson, along with some simple questions that preschoolers can answer about their lesson.
Quizzes
Including some simple questions that preschoolers can answer on their own, such as “Who were the first two people that God created?” or “How many commandments did Moses bring back from the mountain top?” can help preschoolers remember what they have learned in this and previous lessons.
Cut and Glue
Including activities that require preschoolers to be able to use such wonderful inventions as scissors or glue is sure to grab their attention. Be sure to include written directions for Mom and Dad so they can help their preschooler complete the activity at home during the week.
