Hand in Hand E-Newsletter July 2016

110 of the best craft ideas - all contributed by people working with children in churches.

Almost 20 years ago, at our first Children's Ministry conference, I offered an optional workshop on Bible crafts. I expected 50-100 delegates but almost 400 packed the hall and the workshop had to become a demonstration! Back then there were no books to recommend to those delegates and the many more wanting easy ideas that I met at other training events, so I wrote 100 Simple Bible Craft Ideas for Children - a book now out of print. Since then, a plethora of craft ideas books and web resources have been produced but it is good to see a new collection of simple ideas cross-referenced by Bible passage and season and including some extension ideas on how to incorporate them into a session.

There are optional Bible passages that you can add to the message of the story, making the assemblies useful for all types of primary schools. Many of the assemblies use a large variety of visual aids (such as decorations, drinks, toys and scales) which are linked to the theme of the assembly and which act as a stimulus for the children's imagination. Each assembly ends with a prayer, which may not be appropriate for some schools, but this could be adapted to suit each school's particular needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChurch Times - 10 June 2016\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIN SPITE of every attempt to refine it, or even get rid of it entirely, the requirement for a daily act of collective worship in schools will be around for some years yet.

You know the kind of thing: a kettle, a mug, a tea bag, a bottle of milk (so far so good: a quick raid of the staff room will do the trick). It's when she adds a large toy car, a bottle of lemonade, and 'a selection of foods' that the project is doomed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut, for the most part, the book has some brilliant 'off-the-shelf' assemblies, which need the minimum of preparation.

These include general themes such as 'Being special', 'Choices we make', 'Seeing the good' and 'Standing up for ourself', as well as those focused on Christian calendar events, national days and other special occasions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrama\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the 10 minutes there are ideas for drama, a sketch or visual aid, setting the scene for a Bible exploration and a 'Pause for thought'.

In her introduction, however, the author says the inclusion of an 'optional Bible section' makes these assemblies suitable for use in any school.

Many of the assemblies use a large variety of visual aids (such as decorations, drinks, toys and scales) which are linked to the theme of the assembly and which act as a stimulus for the children's imagination.
