Resources I use in whispering the Word or teaching others.

When teaching the Bible with children, you start with what it is you want to teach them.  If you want to know if a child is ready to learn a concept, the best way is to interact with the child and get to know him or her.  But if you are teaching a specific age group, or grade level, there are experts who look at how a child's developmental growth (emotional, social, physical, spiritual development) looks by age.

 Focus on the Family published this very helpful book and it's available at Amazon. The Focus on the Family website has a section on Spiritual Growth for Kids. I also have a padlet on Spiritual Formation.

Padlet is an online bulletin board.  I love that I can 'post' new to me links or any links at all- to an online resource and add a comment about it, and that you can click directly to the link. It's fast and easy for the one who creates the padlet.  You can share padlet creation with others. And you determine who can see it... anyone on the web, only those with a link, only those you invite, only you... this is what it looks like...

Today, I'm sharing some padlets that I have created to train future Bible teachers or future educators.  I think they have some great ideas, resources and links to help communicate content- and what better content than the Word of God!
