I will use this pattern to teach Jesus and Nicodemus story. I like the idea of asking my kids the differences between physical and spiritual birth. I think it will be interesting for the kids. Thank you for this wonderful resource.

I used this lesson with my care group and the kids were ranging from ages 3 to 14 and they took a lot away from it but the fan exercise was somewhat confusing.
Thanks for the lesson though! Be Blessed

I think that with the times being like they are. There is nothing more important to teach our children than the understanding of salvation. I thought the groups activities could actually be done silently while the story is being read. This way they have to actually listen and keep up to try to find similarities and differences as well as identifying ways that Jeses foretold His death. I did an activity similar to this while watching a movie with my third grade classroom. They not only payed attention, but they learned the concept I was teaching and loved it. Thanks for the ideas!!! God Bless!

I’ll definitely love to use this lesson in our children’s church. However, the group task will be done after the reading to give the children an understanding of what to discuss in their group.
Thanks for the lesson.
God bless you.

Hi! I feel the group task preceeding the reading of the text i. e identifying the difference between physical and spiriual births too difficult. Or your kids must have exceptional theological understanding for their age. Then why teach them simply a story, and characters and main points afterwards? I would rather recommend to TEACH them about the distinction in the course of teaching the story. And illustrate it – so that they would be able to relate to this strange situation: a leader, a scholarly pharisee acknowledges Jesus, “thew son of the carpenter” as someone from God and they end up in the key condition of being able to enter the kingdom of God i.e. being born again. The other task – the moments of Jesus’ foretelling his death is the same, it requires a much deeper understanding than you can and do expect when teaching this story. with sisterly love, o.
