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 the kids’ need to remember.
This is a huge hit in any age group. And the kid’s will rember what you tought them, because they get to ues all their senses. You will need to purchase ricecrispy treats. You can get them in packs of 10 at Walmart stores. Packages of Twizzlers bites. Several packs of Hershey “Scoops”.
