Bible Activities - Get Your Students Involved With Church Crafts

For most students of youth ministry, the best Bible activities are those where the class gets to be involved. Sunday school crafts are ideal for classes of any age (but particularly for the younger students), and these activities give your students a fun church craft to take home and share with their family and friends.

Beaded Cross Pin Sunday School Craft

For this Bible activity, you'll need the following for each student:

*One pipe cleaner
*Fifteen pony beads
*One safety pin

Before class begins, cut the pipe cleaners so that each child has one three-inch piece and one two-inch piece. Now instruct your students to twist the two pipe cleaner pieces together to form a cross. Next, they should thread three of the beads on each side of the horizontal and the very top cross piece and six on the bottom of the cross. At this point, your youth ministry students should bend over the pipe cleaner ends to secure the beads in place. Finally, bend the end of the pipe cleaner at the top of the cross around the safety pin and pin the beaded cross on to each child! They'll love showing off the end result of this Bible activity to their family and friends.

Bible Verse Flower Church Craft

You'll need the following for each student for this Bible activity:

*Red, yellow and green construction paper
*Pencil
*Scissors
*Fine point black marker

Before your youth ministry class starts, draw a large flower stem and leaves on each piece of green construction paper (one piece per student), draw the center of the flower on the yellow paper (approximately two and a half inches across), and five petals on the red paper (large enough for the kids to write a Bible verse on each one). When the kids arrive and you're ready to begin the church craft, instruct your children to cut out the pieces on their construction paper. If you're dealing with a younger group of students, you may want to have the pieces pre-cut.

Instruct your class to glue the petals to the back of the circle. Next they should glue the stem to the back of the flower and then glue the leaves to the stem's back. Now it's time for your students to write Bible verse on each petal. I suggest selecting Bible verses that coincide with the day's lesson. After the verses are completed, have your students glue the flower to a fresh piece of construction paper.

When this Bible activity is completed, your students will have a colorful Bible verse flower to show off to their friends.

Christian Sunday School - Two Ways to Get Your Students Interested and Involved

Christian Sunday school is an opportunity for the young people of the congregation to get a better understanding of their faith and the teachings of the Bible. There are many different, interactive Bible games that you can employ during a typical Sunday school class. Here are two Bible activities for you to utilize.

"The Humble and the Proud" Sunday School Activity

This lesson helps demonstrate to your children's liturgy the difference between pride and humility. In order to conduct this Bible lesson, you'll need plain paper and pencils, crayons or markers.

First, have your Christian Sunday school class follow along in their Bibles as you read aloud the story about the Pharisee and the Tax Collector in Luke 18:10-14. Then, have your children's church students go back over the story while drawing a picture illustrating the differences between the two men. Give the kids about ten minutes to finish up their picture, and then have each student pass his or her picture to the person on their right. Next, have each student discuss the positive aspects of the illustration they have been handed.

The lesson here is to understand that when we brag about what we have or look down on those who are less fortunate, we are giving God the message that He isn't important to us. On the other hand, if we live a humble life before God, we are admitting to Him that we will always need his guidance.

"Picture it for Jesus" Bible Craft

For this idea for Sunday school, you'll need to ask your students to bring five or six small items from home. You'll also need enough shoe box lids for each child, rubber cement, hole punches, glue sticks, yarn, string, construction paper, and other decorating materials. You must plan this activity in advance, so be sure to ask your children's liturgy students about bringing in the items the week before you plan on conducting this activity.

The objects that your students bring into class should remind them about Jesus, and they should be small items-no larger than three or four inches. (If your students need some ideas, you can suggest a photograph, a cross, candy, a large nail, etc.) During your children's church class, have your students glue the items onto the shoe box lid to create a 3-D picture.

Punch two holes at the top of the shoe box lid and tie string or yarn to make a hanger for the 3-D work of art. After the kids glue their items onto the lid, explain to them that they can write a brief explanation of why each item reminds them of Jesus. For example, if a student brings in a broken watch, his caption could say "Jesus is everlasting." If another child brings in a plastic spoon, she could write "Jesus feeds us" next to it.

The Bible lesson here is to have fun and spark your students' creativity while helping them to think about Jesus and how the items in their daily lives can remind them of him.

These are just two great ways to get your Christian Sunday school class interested and involved in learning about your religion.

Next immerse the endYour toothpick in detergent and touch lightly on the center of the milk. Keep toothpicks are there for about 30 seconds before lifting it. In this manner, the Sunday school experiment is performed.

The lesson behind the milk swirling Bible Activity

Perform the Sunday school experiment with food coloring and milk for children of students liturgy. Highlight how the different colors in different swirlPattern on the surface of milk. Emphasize the face that each color separately, as are all other living people.

Now is the time for the Bible point crafts. Teach your children the liturgy students, if we love each other in the same way that Jesus loves, we are one of swirling colors, the others we saw during the Sunday School Activities attractive . And the others will be attracted to Jesus and accept himin their hearts.
