Scripture Verse on a balloon

Scripture Verse on a balloon

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.

Jay Finds Joy (Ballooning Story)

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! »

Creation

Creation

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! »

Balloons Can Enhance Your Lessons

Balloons Can Enhance Your Lessons

Can I Easily Add Balloons to Any Lesson?

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! »
