Homeschool: Sermon on the Mount


We're using a classic New Testament children's book for our "Stories of Jesus" time.
Each day we read a bit, look at pictures and then have a discussion. Plus, each week we memorize a scripture from the passages of the week. Anyway, we took a few days to talk about the Sermon on the Mount - and we played a little game with it too. We divided Christ's sermon into eight things the girls can work on - then we'd spin (oh how a spinner makes any game fun) and draw a picture or talk about ways we can accomplish that principle
... it's not about the finished product, but the conversations and process along the way.
