Bible Story

For some reason each year the story of Zacchaeus {the Wee Little Man} is always a favorite among my students.  I don't know if it's the fun song we sing, or that we get to act out being a tiny little tax collector, but they LUV it!  {By the way, we've been studying money to correspond with this story since he was a tax collector.  See the connection?}

Anyways, here's a super cute project we made.  Simply trace the students forearm and hand onto brown construction paper and cut it out, or allow the children to depending on their cutting skills.  Glue it on to blue background paper, add Jesus and green construction paper grass.  Sponge paint the tree.  Glue Zacchaeus into the tree.  Happy Bible story telling!

Jonah and the Big Fish

I just love watching the kids eyes light up when they hear the story of Jonah for the first time and they hear about the big fish swallowing Jonah...  just priceless.  To help us remember all of the fun we've had with the Jonah story we are making these adorable {at least I think so} paper stuffed whales.  Your kids will LOVE making these with you!

Jonah Stick Puppets

Jonah go to Nineveh and tell the people about me.  That's right, this week we're learning the story of Jonah.  We are making the most adorable stick puppets.

The kids just love retelling the story using these puppets.  Can you tell?
