Lesson Components: Do some or do them all! (based on skateboard terminology)
Scripture box offers main scripture verse, support verse and lesson title
KIDnabber: a presentation that quickly seizes the child’s attention using tangibles that connect the lesson to the child’s world; may include a short puppet interaction with Kick Rick or any puppet
KICK RiCK Grind offers obscure facts or research pieces that enhance the lesson
Rampin' Up: a springboard to the Bible text adding another element of the child's world to the lesson
Lesson Launch: the Bible story or scripture text that provides the framework of the lesson; makes abstract concepts concrete
Air Time: questions that assess what the children have grasped from the lesson
Special Delivery : a surprise package for the class containing items that are clues to the lesson. It can be delivered by a mail carrier or left outside the door for children to discover.
Character Skits: Elementary lessons include Professor Snodgrass and Coach.
Coach is loud, intense, passionate, serious, and sold-out to winning. Coach could be a man or woman effectively. Most of the skit will be monologue with interaction from children and teacher occasionally. The key to Coach is a loud, in-your-face-style. Coach could wear a whistle, blowing it as he/she enters the room unexpectedly. Coach wears a ball cap, sweatshirt (or sweat suit), and carries a ball appropriate for the skit. A dry-erase board must be available to diagram plays.
Professor Snodgrass is a laboratory scientist who, at times, is too intelligent for his/her own good. The well-meaning Professor is always working on a new research project, taking the main point of the lesson and crafting it into a fun learning tool. Once you weed through Snodgrass' techno-babble, the Biblical aspect comes alive! The Professor is equally effective when portrayed by a man or woman. At home in a lab-coat stuffed with pens in the chest pocket, Snodgrass at times can be so fixed on the science going through his/her mind, that he/she just trails off and embodies the absent-minded Professor to a "T."
Time to Thrash: hands-on activities that allow children to experience the lesson using their 5 senses and Bible skills. These activities are tailored to the age and development of the children.
The Final Spin: a wrap up to the lesson
