The Game Is Up

These four books of games and imaginative teaching ideas are designed to complement and support Bible teaching in the On The Way 3-9's series. But because they are also indexed by Bible passage and theme they work equally well as a stand-alone resource. These books contain three supplementary activities - the Warm Up, the Consolidation and the Wind Up.

Warm Up - A short activity (5 minutes) or presentation designed to arrest the attention of the children and prepare them for the Bible teaching which is to follow.

Consolidation - A constructive game or activity designed to reinforce the key concepts, theme, aim or details of the Bible story that has just been taught. It generally involves plenty of physical activity and some simple equipment. Lasts 10-15 minutes)

Wind Up - The final summation of the days teaching. It links the Warm Up, the Bible story and the Consolidation together, emphasising the central teaching point.

A choice of two of each of the above is supplied for each lesson. One of these will generally require more space and equipment.

These books should be used alongside - and not in place of - direct Bible teaching. The ideas and suggestions may need to be adapted to suit the needs of your children and limitations of your meeting space.
