This helps children remember there verse for the week. Put one word (or 2 if small words) on each balloon after it is blown up. Read it a couple times from the balloons and then have one volunteer pop a balloon. Try to say the verse with the word missing. Continue until all the balloons are popped and they can repeat the verse. Safety note: Use a lady’s pierced earring to pop balloons. It is not to sharp, but it will pop the balloon.
I believe verse memorization is very important for our kids.

Needed – 1 260 Balloon.
I’m going to do a ballooning for you today. How many of you wear eye glasses? Eye glasses help us see better. If you’ve had your eyes tested before, you probably know that, by using the glasses to correct your vision, the doctor is trying to bring your vision up to a level of 20-20.

(Follow these instructions to make the parrot balloon as you teach the lesson. Inflate one 260 animal twist balloon leaving about half an inch uninflated and tie the knot. Hold the balloon in your left hand with the uniflated end to the right. Make a half inch bubble and then a 1.5 inch bubble. Taking the knot with your right hand, stretch it back over the 1.5 inch bubble. Twist the knot around the base of the one and a half inch bubble so that the half inch and one and a half inch bubbles are side by side. Bring the uninflated end of the balloon alongside » I want to read more! »

This routine is not only entertaining, but easy to do as well. This routine requires three #260 pencil balloons: 1 blue, 1 white and 1 red. Fully inflate the blue #260 and tie off the nozzle. Announce to the audience that you will attempt to make the world’s fastest balloon animal in only 5 seconds. At that you quickly roll up one end of the balloon and squeeze it several times. Release the roll. (It should now resemble the letter “J”.) Show the balloon and take a bow. Announce to them, “It’s a blue jay!” » I want to read more! »

When introducing the topic of Creation, I usually start by emphasizing the point that there are two things that only God can do.
Firstly, although people are very clever, and can do such things like land a man on the moon, invent televisions or computers, they cannot make something out of nothing. Given starting materials, people can often change their properties – size, shape, colour, texture etc., but they cannot make something out of nothing – only God can do that. » I want to read more! »

Yes! There are a couple of simple ways to use balloons in your lesson. The most popular is to create a sculpture based on an object or animal in a story or illustration you are using. For example, let’s say that you are teaching on Daniel in the lion’s den. Create a balloon lion while you are telling the story. Or, for the story of Jesus’ Baptism, create a balloon dove. Maybe you have an object lesson based on a basket. Instead of just showing a basket while you talk, make one with balloons while you are teaching. You can also use an animal known for a particular characteristic related to your story. An example of this would be using an elephant, which is known for his memory, in a story on communion, or Jesus’ return, since you would be focusing on » I want to read more! »
