More Resources and Ideas for Paul’s Journey’s

Maps, storybooks, videos, drama, etc. resource recommendations from Luanne:

Art:

• “Shipwrecked:  Story”, by See The Light.  VERY COOL!
  Story told through fluorescent chalk drawing with blacklight (15 mins) can purchase through Vimeo  https://vimeo.com/ondemand/artandbible/ scroll down it's #1.

Computer:

• Life of Christ Software (Discovery Interactive)
  

  

  
  One of my favorite activities to do in "Life of Christ" is the four Journey Maps – I give kids maps so they can trace each journey (maps showing cities, but not routes Paul took, on a clipboard along with four coloured markers). They then love to draw each journey, city to city, as the software walks them through.  Map journeys are found by clicking on the Globe in the Professor's Office. Below is a screenshot taken of Paul's 1st Journey page 3. 
  
  
• Life of Paul – Kid’s Interactive Series
  - One of the video clips is entitled shipwreck, also in "People Paul Knew" section in the Hall of Fame, it includes Barnabas and Silas, Priscilla and Aquila. You could ask questions on a worksheet and have the kids go into the software to find the answer.)

  Comes with 10 signs and a top sign post.  Top sign write "Paul's Journey's", then take the 10 individual signs and write a major city on each.

Drama:

• "30 New Testament Quick Skits", by Stephen James, Standard Publishing, 2004, 9780784716304.
  Pg. 95 - Praying by The River (Paul, Silas & Lydia) - when we did this I did up overheads for "Women" & "Holy Spirit" - congregation did these parts - men were holy spirit / woman-woman.
  Pg. 98 - The Man Who Wasn't Dead - Paul keeps preaching even after being stoned.
  Pg. 29 - The Riot in Ephesus (Demetrius)
  Pg. 30 - Shipwrecked!
  Steven James, author, does a wonderful job with humor, which the kids love, and the message is always clear. Love his stuff.
