Helping us Remember with Interactive Kings!

 

Hello and Welcome!

Every time I write an article, I think of you and hope what is offered here will provide a useful sort of service to you and your Bible lessons. 

I love teaching with visual aids that allow my students to have some interaction during the Bible lesson. It's fun and tends to help us better recall our Bible lesson. 

Developing the Idea!

You could actually develop this idea for any Bible person, but at the time we were learning about the Kings, so I made them into Kings.

They were a thought that turned into something tangible and interactive. They took some time, but it was all worth it!

 

 

They stand at least a couple feet tall and can break down for easy flat storage if you use Velcro to hook the robe and arms together. For ideas to help make the faces click here! 

You will find a link for the Kings full instructions toward the end of this article. 

The Numbering Process!

I introduced the Kings to my students as to who they represented and began by handing out the pictures that fastened with Velcro onto the front of the robe. The first picture handed out was the letter of the Kings name. "R" was for Rehoboam, "J" for Jeroboam, and "A" was for Asa.

The back of the pictures and front of the robe have corresponding numbers for placement onto the robe. The numbers on the pictures, (#1-whatever number you go up to for however many pictures you have) need to be the order in which they are talked about within the lesson because you don't want to put up picture #8 while you are actually talking about picture #3.  I also have the numbers marked in my notes so I know when it is time for a particular picture and can ask the students, "Who has picture #1?" and so forth. When we find who has the number I am asking for, the student gets up and adds their picture onto the robe on top of the corresponding number of their picture.

A Fun Review!

My students loved meeting these Kings and getting to know them! We also referred back to the pictures for our review and I had them tell me how each picture related to the King we were reviewing.
