In conversations lately since
Concordia Publishing House
presented the Catechism teaching cards.
Research is all over the place
about how we learn.
But the given is:
we don't ALL learn the same way.
As educators and parents
work for teaching faith life living principles
in Lutheran schools and homes,
we must also be in conversation
about the HOW.
Faith Family Rolodex
About ten years ago,
I found myself needing to find a way
to help parents REVIEW words
so that they could teach their children.
Out of those interactions
came the Faith Family Rolodex.
Rolodex Faith Words
are in the FILES section here:
DC Metro Bible Journaling
(this pdf is made for the rolodex project-
to adapt it for the playing cards
just tear off the indented part needed for the rolodex)
a deck of cards,
square punched cardstock to cover card images,
double sided sticky tape,
Distress ink,
hole punch and O rings
Out of that resource is an adaptation
are in the FILES section here:
DC Metro Bible Journaling
(this pdf is made for the rolodex project-
to adapt it for the playing cards
just tear off the indented part needed for the rolodex)
square punched cardstock to cover card images,
double sided sticky tape,
Distress ink,
hole punch and O rings
of the same faith vocabulary words
put on Dollar Store playing cards.
They are punched and placed on binder rings.
What would it LOOK LIKE
if a family (or school, or Confirmation class)
were working TOGETHER
to teach the meaning of the words?
Yes, ideal maybe, but Martin Luther's
prayer for families.
Yes, ideal maybe, but Martin Luther's
prayer for families.
Just have to adapt the depth
of the conversation
of the conversation
in the years of learning with a child.
This tool might be a help for
parochial schools working
with a year by year vocabulary list.
(or if this was part of a 2-3 year
confirmation program)
A deck of cards works very well
for this project
or any Bible Verse memory project.
They are sturdy,
meant to be handled, cost effective, and
$1 at the Dollar Store.
They are effective as an additional tool
for learning because they are visual,
tactile and kinesthetic
in the making and later use.
All in all-
a way to learn that benefits
multiple learning styles,
allows interaction with parents,
and helps a leader to add hands-on learning
to their curriculum objectives.
