RWS-PS #208, Let It Shine
RWS-PS #208, LET IT SHINE, is jointly authored by Lisa Smith and Barbara
Hanna. Lisa created most of the activities. Barbara added a few activities and
wrote the Teachers' Instructions and Parent Review with Child (PRC) cards. If
you can purchase some inexpensive flashlights, your students will look forward
to using them after each lesson. We turned the flashlights on, and turned the
classroom lights off while singing "This Little Light of Mine." Then at the end
of the series, each child was allowed to select a flashlight to take home. Some
of the parables covered are: Let It Shine, Two Debtors, The Unmerciful Servant,
Friend at Midnight (the sample lesson), Pharisee and Publican, Talents, Rich
Fool, Good Samaritan, Lost Coin, Lost Sheep, Prodigal Son and Ten Little Ladies
(Virgins). There is an original song to go with Ten Little Ladies, which can be
used for that lesson and the concluding lesson, "Is My Light Shining?".
Lisa Smith is extremely talented at creating activities that will help the
lesson stick in the minds of your children. This series includes mazes,
coloring, circle the answer, match the pictures, gluing, and so much more! For
some lessons, booklets are used to teach the lesson as well as for students to
color. The story about the lost sheep uses a booklet where students glue items
to the pages, and star stickers (if available) on the page showing how the
shepherd would look for the lost sheep even at night! If your preparation time
is limited, stay one lesson ahead and ask a teenage or an elderly person to help
you with the cutting out (not in every lesson). Your helpers will enjoy
participating, and you will be thrilled to watch the little ones learn so much!
