Our Lego Faith Building Club
I have done a Lego Faith Building Club for 3 summers now. We met once a week, on a Wednesday evening, and included a theme/Bible story and snack time. It has evolved from all summer long (too long) to just six weeks (still a bit long) to dinner first, family-oriented, parents-stay-and-visit-or-build-alongside-their-kids, including toddlers.
This summer with dinner was our best attendance yet.
I found a few wonderful free resources online that I share now with you here. These can get you thinking of how to incorporate Lego into any Bible story.
- Home Schooling Mom: https://www.proverbialhomemaker.com/?s=lego This homeschooling mom has a number of lesson sets, like Proverbs, Bible heroes, and seasonal sets (Christmas etc.)
- Danyelle Ditmer, another gifted writer, of these lessons and fleshed them out further with this wonderful lesson set: https://littlepeoplebigword.co...4/01/faith-builders/
Some other internet resources, but these are not free:
1) Faith Builders Curriculum by Emily Given
Faith Brick by Brick: an imaginative way to explore the Bible with children
(The link goes to her blog describing her six week LEGO class that led to the book.)
Free part: Here is a webpage
that features a few items from the Faith Builders Curriculum I have used parts of. {GOD is LOVE } Faith Builders Valentine’s Day Heart Lego Project see this link Faith Builders Heart Lego Project – Day 1.
