Storying for Children

Pictured above: Jesus heals a paralytic.

Children love to hear stories! And stories are an excellent way to learn. So we are collecting stories to explore the Bible, teach moral values, and investigate health issues.

The children do more than just listen to the story. They also act out the story, discuss what happened and how it applies to their lives, and do activities related to the story. Then they are encouraged to tell the story to their family and friends.

Currently, we have stories on:

• Old Testament Bible Storying
• New Testament Bible Storying
• Children of the Bible
• Stories Of Jesus
• Moral Values (based on Bible stories) 
• Health Stories
• Bible Storying for Teens

These stories are "works in progress".

These lessons include Bible storying and coloring pages for children.  Many of the coloring pages are from Calvary Chapel Children's Ministry, at http://children.cccm.com/curriculum.htm. "Anyone is free to reproduce this material and distribute it, but it may not be sold."

Send us your comments, and your stories (for both children and adults).

Check out the Health Stories page for stories that explore health issues.
