FOURS & FIVES

What Is In The 4s & 5s Program?
Everything you you need can be printed right from the CD.

LOTS OF LEARNING GAMES:  A Fishing Game for Jesus And The Fishermen, Animal Match-Ups for Noah's Ark, measuring fun when doing Who's Afraid of a Big Bad Giant,  and cooking activities for Who Made My Spaghetti? (When God Made Food). Also includes Play-dough mats printed in bright colors for playing the Bible stories, Puppets, Pictures to cut for bulletin board displays, weather charts, and picture-pages, manipulative games, feltboard patterns, sequence games, word, letter, and counting activities, and much more, depending upon the Bible Story activities in each lesson theme.

BIBLE STORY BOOKMARKS: 89 bookmarks help you create interest in the Bible stories. They come with suggestions for a Bible surprise game, clothespin puppets, and shadow-match games. Miniature pictures help turn the bookmarks into word & letter activities. Story sheets are are just the right size to fit into your Bible as a memory-jogger to help you tell the stories.

PATTERNS: These are included for making multiple copies of handcraft projects and bulletin board displays.

PARENT LETTERS:  Letters to the parents help send your message into the home. The parents appreciate these hand-outs because they contain parenting tips, suggestions for family time, and ideas for creating a Christian atmosphere for the family, based upon the story theme.

ACTIVITY CARDS: Features 525 Activity Cards. We call the activity cards "portable lesson plans" because they put the instructions to the teacher right at the point of use with the children. No more trying to balance a big lesson plan book on your lap as you teach, or discovering that you left the book on the other side of the room! The activity cards go into the box or basket with the other materials you have gathered for carrying out the activity. Teachers and helpers can read the cards and know just what to do and what to say to the children. There are between 12-16 activity cards to go with each story. These games and activities will help you keep your fours & fives busy! And that goes a long way, we have found, toward averting discipline problems.

THE TEACHER'S GUIDE: The guide helps you put it all together with teaching tips & how-to's, lesson plans, song sheets, instructions for using the games, what to do with the activity cards, quarterly and daily schedule suggestions, and much more. These pages are to be printed out and kept in a notebook for your lesson planning convenience.

THE MATCH-UPS GAME: This game has 114 picture cards along with suggestions for games and activities. More games to play with these pictures are given on the activity cards.

PRACTICING GOD'S WORDS PACKET: Use when introducing the "word for the day." Contains materials for making a wall display which includes a Sign and Big Word Cards. Smaller cards, called Trace-Again Cards, feature the same words to be covered with clear self-adhesive plastic. The children trace the letters with crayons. When done, the crayon marks can be wiped off and the cards are ready to be "traced again." Also includes suggestions for word & letter activities.

MORE ABOUT BIBLE STORY CONCEPTS FOR FOURS & FIVES: The curriculum on this CD is not a program for children to use as they sit at a computer. Rather it is a curriculum which the teacher/parent prints out and uses with the children in hands-on, age-appropriate learning games and activities with lots of eye contact and conversation.

EASY TO USE:  Work right from the CD. Detailed instructions are included. Print everything you need for carrying out the lessons on your own printer. The Getting Started guide helps you organize a notebook, game file, and teacher's shelf or closet for teaching.

REPEAT IN TWO-YEAR CYCLES:  Designed to cover one full year (four quarters). A two-year chart shows how to rearrange the stories into new units for a second year. Old becomes new again! Thereafter, repeat the program in two year cycles as often as desired.

FLEXIBLE: Great for both classroom teachers and homeschooling families.
