This topic is for posting "other" lesson plans and ideas for teaching Jesus Calls the Disciples or his call of an individual disciple.

For Art, Cooking, Drama, Games, and more specific workshops, view this forum's lesson menu.

Luke 5: 1-11 "Fishers of Men," (People), Matthew 5, Mark 1.

Note: Because in the Rotation Model we spend several weeks on EACH story, we have to prioritize which stories we teach. Usually, that means we teach the "major story" of Jesus' calling the Disciples to be "fishers of people. You are certainly welcome to post ideas for "other calls," such as Jesus' call to Matthew.

I'm going to be storytelling the lesson of fishers of men. Does any one have any interesting and exciting ideas to help out? Thanks

How about having a net filled with fish that the children can help pull up at the appropriate time in the story. If you want to understand the story as evangelism, you can have the children write names on the fish ahead of time -- either their own names, friends who don't come to church, or just make up names.

Try thinking of ways to retell the story using modern jobs instead of fishermen. I'm sure the children could come up with some neat ideas.
