The Resource Room (Danielle's Place)

Review

Danielle's Place - The Resource Room

If you are anything like me, you are a little wary about subscribing to anything on-line that costs money. The free stuff is fine and you'll happily be inundated with newsletters (such as the one for this site!!) in order to find out about such things but when it comes to giving out any more details than an email address you back away.

However, when I received a subscription to The Resource Room on Danielle's Place, I was pleasantly surprised as to the wealth of lessons, crafts and ideas for Bible classes that this site offered. I had been using the free resources from Danielle's Place right from the beginning of my time surfing the Internet (in fact, Danielle's Place was one site that inspired the creation of this site) but these barely give a taste to what The Resource Room offers.

The lessons and resources at The Resource Room are more than just more ideas and crafts for individual Bible stories. While a number of the important Bible stories do have some unique resources available, the thing that that makes this site stand out is that most of the lessons deal with key concepts of Christianity, the character of God and finding Jesus as a friend, rather than just the individual Bible stories. This is an aspect that makes the resources available here very worthwhile.

There are well over fifty (may be closer to one hundred) individual lessons catering for preschool and primary aged classes. Each lesson has a early arrivals activity, Bible verse cards, lesson, as well as a choice of two to three crafts for many of the lessons. Some include games ideas as well. One or two lessons are added to the site on a weekly basis.

Our little family is currently looking at the concept of 'Jesus is My Friend' and using this to look at the life of Jesus and the stories he told. The Resource Room has been tremendous help in that it has provided some unique activities for this them and we have already created a great collage about the Parade for Jesus, played a game about the Lost Sheep and are looking forward to some great ideas on the Prodigal Son.

If you a children's ministry worker, regularly take Bible classes, children's church, VBS or Kid's Club you will find the ready resources available at The Resource Room at Danielle's Place a worthwhile addition to your library.
