When I was writing the first post I was going by days and since Bible and Music don't have their own day, I forgot them. Bible we do every day and Music is just when K. is in the mood.
Bible
- Memorizing the verses for the Wordless Book; after the verses are memorized we will work on the dialogue that goes with them. An idea that I really like to go with the presentation is nesting cans spray painted the corresponding colors. There was a website where you could purchase them, but I'm working on collecting appropriate cans.
- Romans 3:23 - black page
- 1 John 1:7b - red page
- Psalm 51:7 - white page
- John 14:2 - gold page
- 2 Peter 3:18 - green page
- Reading Little Visits with Jesus by Mary Manz Simon with corresponding Scripture.
- Reading lots of Bible Stories
- Acting out Bible stories. Some of K.'s favorites to act out are Mary and Martha, David and Goliath (which sounds simple to do with 2 people, but you need David's father and brothers, and King Saul), the Ten Plagues and Crossing the Red Sea, and Jesus bringing the little girl back to life.
Music
- Understanding that each note on the page has a name and each key on the piano has a name and they correspond to each other.
- Sing, sing, and sing some more!
The wordless book! Who would have thought that could be a whole Bible course. What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever seen the wordless bag? Similar concept, but it's a bag that keeps reversing itself into different colors. I was at a local vendor event and some ladies were using it as a witnessing tool to attract the attention of children, teens, and even adults. I don't know where to buy them, but their pretty neat to see.
