This Sunday the lesson was "The Parable of the Lost Coin" from Luke 15:8-10. Several of the ideas I used came from Danielle's Place. It's a wonderful site to help in teaching Bible classes.
Typically for this age, I wouldn't do a snack, but this week they got a special treat. A few summers ago, Tyler went to Wednesday night Bible class at Memorial Road Church of Christ, when we were visiting the Oklahoma City/Edmond. He was so excited because dads were teaching the class. There was a dad at each table of little children. He was also excited about learning this parable and he told us all about it...for about 10 mintues. He also told us about a fun thing they did in class. They had a snack that went along with the parable. I really like it when the snack makes the lesson even more memorable.
The snack was chocolate pudding with a slice of banana hidden in the bottom. The banana represents the woman's lost coin. Boy did the kiddos have fun finding their lost coin Sunday morning! And I hoped they learned the meaning of the parable: Saving those who are lost...without Jesus.
