I would like to welcome you to the companion blog of aunties bible lessons. I just posted over there a blog on how to write a new lesson using old bits of things I have posted over the years. I used this technique myself with the Sunday School lesson last week when I wanted to contrast the First Advent of Jesus…with the Second Advent. ( WordPress has changed their format and I am not sure how it works so please bare with me as I work out the kinks and look for any new posts at aunties bible lessons)
I am sorry that I have to send you to another site (aunties bible lessons, and scroll to the table of contents for both old and new testaments posted on Jan. 6, 2014) but that would be the easiest way to get all of the past bible lessons to see what is available.
First, I cut out a picture of baby Jesus and then I cut up a lesson I did on the second coming entitled “Behold, I come quickly”. You need to determine if you want a half sheet or full page work sheet. Tape your cut-outs on a white piece of paper and then copy with your copier. If you are doing a half sheet you will need to copy another page and put the two together.
You need to figure out what verses you want to use and if you want the kids to write them or if you want to annotate with a computer or handwrite them. Ask the LORD what He wants emphasized ….This will need to be completed before you make your final copies for your students. You can save one copy in a notebook with a completed sample for future use. Have fun coloring your sample worksheet and don’t be surprised if the kids want to copy your technique.
Tips: I copy most of the worksheets on card stock. This is very sturdy but also more expensive. The kids get only one copy so they are admonished to be careful. Most mistakes can be fixed with tape and white-out!
