Books
of the Old Testament
Junior
Primary
This is a different approach to teaching
the children the books of the Old Testament. I thought it might be
easier and better for them to learn with graphics associated with the books
and learn what is in the books at the same time. So, after a LOT
of reading and sketching, here are the books, explanations and graphics!
Materials:
-
three-ring binder
-
protective sleeves
Print out the pictures and put in order inside
the book. As you sing the song, either you or the children can turn
the pages. Later on, you can make a matching game with the pictures
and the titles of the books, or see how quickly the children can get the
pictures in the right order!
When you save the images, they will save
as the larger size!
