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
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 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. I have used the lessons from The Resource Room at
Danielle's
Place in my Beginners Big Camp
Programs (see
Clementine's Corner for more
details) and continue to rely on the
crafts, songs and ideas when teaching
the children in my church. 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. For more
