Teaching Idea of the Month - July 2001 |
|
 
 
  |
On this page, you will find each month a new idea for teaching or for an activity with children.
Quiz about the life of Jesus
Biblical Foundation: The four Gospels
What we need:
- Cards with stations of the life of Jesus, as described below
Let's start!
The children form groups of three to five children. Each group
receives a set of cards mentioning different stages of the life
of Jesus, but not in order. They have to put the cards in their
order, according to to how the events happened in the life of
Jesus (benning with his birth and ending with his ascension to
heaven). In order to make it more difficult, there are some cards
which do not have anything to do at all with the life of Jesus.
According to the knowledge of the children, you can mention this
fact in advance, or you can also say nothing about it and let the
children discover it by themselves.
Suggestions for the cards:
- Was born in a stable
- Astonished the teachers of the law in the Temple with his
knowledge
- Was baptized by John
- Was tempted by the devil in the desert
- Taught us how to pray
- Called twelve disciples to be with him
- Calmed a storm
- Healed blind Bartimaeus
- Said: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one
comes to the Father except through me."
- Said during the Last Supper: "This is my body which is
broken for you."
- Was crucified
- Was buried
- Rose from the dead on the third day
- Appeared alive to his disciples
- Ascended to heaven
("False" cards):
- Anointed David as king
- Converted stones into bread
- Was brought to Babylonia as a prisoner
- His mother put him into a basket in the river
- Was inside a fish for three days and three nights
- Said: "All ways lead to Rome."
