Resurrection Eggs

Filed under: Holiday, Inspire You Children — Kerry @ 5:16 am

When our children were about 6 years old, they made an egg carton of Resurrection Eggs.  Each item in the plastic egg told part of the Resurrection Story.  It can be a great learning tool for children or be used as a tool to share the Gospel.

Here are some suggestions of what to include in the eggs.

1. (Bread) Matthew 26:26
While they were eating Jesus took a piece of bread,
gave a prayer of thanks, broke it, and gave it to His disciples.
“Take and eat it,” He said, “This is My body.”

2. (Coins) Matthew 26: 14-15
Then  one of the twelve disciples, named Judas Iscariot, went to
the chief priests and asked, “What will you give me if I betray
Jesus to you?”  They counted out thirty silver coins and gave
them to him.

3.  (Purple cloth, representing a purple robe) Mark 15:17
They put a purple robe on Jesus. . .

4.  (Thorns) Matthew 27:29
Then they made a crown out of thorny branches and placed it on
His head, and put a stick on His right hand; then they knelt
before Him and made fun of Him.  “Long live the King, of the
Jews!” they said.

5. (Scourge-a small piece of rope or thick string)  Mark 15:15
Pilate wanted to please the crowd, so he set Barabbas free for
them.  Then he had Jesus whipped and handed Him over to be
crucified.

6.  (Cross) John 19: 17-18a
He went out, carrying His cross, and came to “The Place of the
Skull,” as it is called.  (In Hebrew it is called “Galgotha.”) There
they crucified Him.

7.  (Nails) John 20:25b
Thomas said to them, “Unless I see the scars of the nails in His
hands and put my finger on those scars and my hand in His
side, I will not believe.”

8.  (Sign) Luke 23:38
Above Him were written these words:  THIS IS THE KING OF
THE JEWS.

9.  (Sponge) Matthew 27:48
One of them ran up at once, took a sponge, soaked it in cheap
wine, put it on the end of a stick, and tried to make Him drink it.

10.  (Spear) John 19:34
One of the soldiers plunged his spear into Jesus’ side, and at
once blood and water poured out.

11.  (Rock) Matthew 27:59-60
Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a new linen sheet, and
placed it in his own new tomb, which he had just recently dug
out of solid rock.  Then he rolled a large stone across the
entrance to the tomb and went away.

12.  (Empty) Matthew 28:6
He is not here He has risen just as He said.

Metaphors Lessons You Can Use Today!

Filed under: Raising Leaders, Inspire You Children — Kerry @ 8:45 am

I’m reading through five psalms a day right now and came across Psalm 75.  I was delighted to see lessons I could use from an academic standpoint (you know, homeschooling stuff) and lessons I could use from a character standpoint (that child raising, parenting stuff).

I said to the boastful, Do not deal boastfully.
And to the wicked, Do not lift up the horn,
Do not lift up your horn on high;
Do not speak with a stiff neck.
Psalm 75:4-5

First of all, you can talk to your kids about a lifting up your horn on high and a stiff neck.  What kind of person lifts up his own horn (or blows his own horn)?  Describe someone who has a stiff neck.

You should end up talking about a prideful person.  He raises his head proudly like a horned animal.  He is full of insolent pride.

This gives you two types of lessons today, one that teaches what a metaphor is and one that teaches what a wicked person is . . . in God’s eyes.

The Psalm concludes with God’s reaction to the wicked.

All the horns of the wicked I will also cut off.
But the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
Psalm 75:10

Now you can discuss why some people’s “horns” will be cut off and others will be exalted.  Who blows their own horn?  What type of person doesn’t blow their own horn, or raise up their own accomplishments?

Which one do you want to become?  Why?

Enjoy the Psalms and inspire your children to love God’s Word.

It would mean alot to me if you would leave a comment below and let me know what you think of this idea of tying Scripture to real life & homeschooling.  Feel free to add your own lessons you’ve used with your kids.

Blessings,
Kerry

Famous Football Players

Filed under: Homeschooling, Love of Learning, Writing, Inspire You Children — Kerry @ 8:12 am

My son does not like history as most of you know. But he LOVES sports! Do you have a child like this?

This week you can tie in sports with studies. What subjects can you do?

– History
– Writing
– Research

Choose a famous football player from a past Super Bowl. Write a report about his life and achievements.

If you are unsure how to help your child write a short 1, 3 or 5 paragraph paper, use Teaching Writing: Structure & Style. It’ is absolutely the BEST writing program to tie in writing with ANY subject area, even football.

*** For younger children who aren’t writing papers, let them alphabetize all NFL teams by city and mascot.
