Helps
1 & 2. If possible, see that each child has his/her own Bible. Teach that nothing is ever set on a Bible and to keep the Bible clean. Show the children how to be careful and handle it reverently.
3. Help the Adventurers locate the books of Genesis and Revelation. Encourage them to locate each book in their Bible while the child tells the story of the author. Play Bible games, use felts, etc. Make this a fun learning experience.
4. Have the children pantomime. Adventurers enjoy play acting. Encourage them to make the story come alive. Keep a box of props to help in illustrating the Bible characters, such as bath robes, scarves and a cane.
5. Practice finding the texts in the Bible. Explain each part so the children can understand the meanings. Read together.
6. Use paper plates to make animal or people masks to illustrate stories such as Daniel and the lion’s den, creation, and the Garden of Eden. Act out the story of their choice.
