We use the Workshop Rotation Model to teach kids about Bible stories. We are helping transform their lives.
One of the stories we’ve taught is Psalm 100. That’s right – the whole Psalm! (Okay, so it is short, with only five verses. Hey! How about making it a project to learn-it-by-heart?)
Did you know that the fast way to find a psalm is to open up a Bible in the middle? Try it and see! (Or read Psalm 100 on-line here.)
Psalm 100 is about being joyful!
Here is the way we are exploring Psalm 100…
| Workshop | Activity |
| Games Workshop | Use remote control cars to run a relay to help learn Psalm 100. |
| Missions Workshop | Learn about mission work and participate in a service project to pick up around the church grounds. I wonder what mission work has to do with Psalm 100? (Sounds like a good topic for a blog post! Updated: Read it here.) |
| Photography Workshop | Discuss and take photos to ultimately create a photo collage of the seven imperatives in this Psalm: Make, Worship, Come, Know, Enter, Give, Bless. |
| Science Workshop | Participate in science experiments about sound and make musical instruments to make a “Joyful Noise.” |
| Video/Music Workshop | Watch portions of the video Sister Act and discuss the importance of praising God through music. |
Check out some of the lessons we’ve used.
