Pre-school: A “My Day” album A "My Day" photo album provides a personalized tool for encouraging toddler self-awareness. Let your little one take pictures of God’s world, of what he/she loves most -- squishy bugs, leaves, favorite foods, and his/her family. You can even borrow the camera and take photos of him/her going to church, going to or visiting with friends. Talk with him/her about what he or she really enjoys in God’s world and what it means to go to Church and be with his/her family.
Tell a Scripture Story Get their creative minds working and into story writing mode. Choose a Scripture Story. Invite them to storyboard/script 5 to 10 sections of the story with proposed images (e.g., Good Samaritan). Have students pose for photos (with/without costume). Take photos. Import photos into PowerPoint or Google Docs Presentation. Add story line above/below. Use as a PPT presentation or create a video using Animoto.
