Storytelling Idea

By CMIV

When creating a short story that illustrates a Biblical principle, I’ll use the children’s names in the class as characters in the story. It keeps them riveted, they wonder what their classmate(s) is going to do next. At the end we discuss the moral of the story. by Tonya S

Rat Race

By CMIV

As a promo for our church fall festival in 2002, we sponsored a Rat Race. We bought 10 inexpensive white mice from the pet store and showed them off to the congregation the Sunday before as advertisement for our event. We built a four-lane plywood racetrack with a lever at the entrance for the mice to race. We had thousands of people show up to the event, and many came to see the mice race. It was a really fun promotion. But you must make sure you have workers who don’t mind handling rodents!
