"J's Diner" is a seven-week study of Psalm 23. lower elementary

"J's Diner" is a seven-week study of Psalm 23 for lower elementary children. J’s Diner is a flashback to the 1950 diners. The theme has an eye-catching black and white checked border, with red, green, and yellow banners and signs. It is attractive and makes me want to pick it up and read the lessons. Using the 23rd Psalm is powerful and familiar. It was one of my first and favorite passages of scripture.
This 112-page leaders guide will help keep your children in Sunday school and Bible school actively engaged while teaching the Bible passage for scriptural knowledge and real-life impact.
I like that the crafts are included in the lessons where they make sense and can be helpful to children as they learn. Psalm 23 is the focus of the lessons. The first verse “the Lord is my shepherd” is coupled with John 10. Games repeat the theme of the good shepherd taking care of the sheep.
In the resources section, there are seven reproducible placemats to be printed in grayscale. Decorated in the diner’s theme they use word games and puzzles for children to color and learn. These include a Word-find, Fill-in-the-Blank for Psalm 23, TicTacToe, Connect the Dots and several others. This is activity quick and easy to prepare and keeps the children focused and engaged.
Cute 8 x 11 colorful posters use the phrases from the 23rd Psalm. Examples are: The Lord is my shepherd with the yield sign; the Lord is my provider with a rest area sign.
I would recommend this leaders guide for Sunday school teachers for meaningful and easy lessons. This resource was given to me by Hendrickson Rose publishing company for a fair review.
