Works for Me Wednesday Meme
This is what works for our family. We center most of our family activities around church. Since there are 7 of us, it's great that I don't have to drive all of town at various times. We go to one location, our church, and get involved in the activities. There is usually something going on for every age level at our church - even on Youth Group night. My teens go to youth group, my husband and I volunteer, and my younger kids go to a class for the volunteer's kids.
Church is a great place for kids to learn. They use teaching methods that kids enjoy. There aren't any tests given or assignments due.
Here are some learning experiences my kids have had at church:
- History lessons from the Bible
- Singing and choir practice
- Socialization skills
- P.E. - roller skating, dodge ball, group action games
- Group Jeopardy Game
- Christian DVDs
- Journal writing
- Reading: from the Bible, lessons, lyrics projected on to the wall
- Art Projects
- Drama
- Slide show presentation of trip to Israel
- Ancient Jewish culture and customs presentation
- Music and dance performances
- Volunteering and community service projects
- Baking
