This is why children benefit from rotating to different workshops each Sunday. Over the course of a Bible unit children learn the same Biblical concepts and story in a variety of ways. Opportunities to make connections in learning need to be provided for learning to take place and be meaningful. The Potter's Workshop curriculum provides activities, mission projects, intergenerational activities, and reflective thinking opportunities that help children make meaningful connections from the Bible to their daily lives. Children do not only learn the Bible but live it.
Kids get a total picture.
This cannot be done in the limited time allotted for a lesson in a traditional Sunday School situation. The range of experiences in one story can be endless through workshops. Teachers can use their God-given spiritual gifts. You ll find those that love to do drama or puppetry or those that haven't used their artistic talents in years and would love to use them with children. More dads are teaching in this model than ever before.
