Bible Object Lessons for Children

Looking for that special "hook" to catch children's attention? Christian object lessons for children are great "hooks" as well as tools to enhance their memory.

When using an object to teach a Bible lesson, it engages multiple senses - auditory, visual, as well as tactile. It also gives children something to associate with the lesson so that next time they see the object in everyday life, it will be a reminder of God's truths all around them.

Many everyday objects can be used in children's Bible object lessons. Use a sponge object talk to teach how important it is for us to be filled with God's love. What ever is soaked up is what will come out! Or a favorite of mine is using M&M candies to teach how God has created us each unique and yet the same.

You may have heard the story told about the professor and the mayo jar and two cups of coffee. A simple jar and rocks can become a valuable lesson on focusing on what is important in life. Or use a larger container with ping pong balls and show how being filled with the Holy Spirit can get rid of "junk" in our life.

When you think about it, anything in everyday life has a lesson to teach that can help children remember God is always near them.
