At times such as these, organized play helps to channel energy and encourages the development of important social skills, such as following directions, taking turns, and working in teams.Wiggles and Squiggles offers creative and unusual ideas for classroom games. Each game or activity is designed to help teach fundamental Bible concepts and give children an outlet for expression of their faith (as well as energy). These creative ideas engage children in discovering new ways to review and remember Bible stories. Activities and games reinforce learning about interaction among God's children, the Creator's power and forgiveness, prayer, Jesus' work on earth, and Christ's work in our lives.Each idea reinforces Christian themes and concepts children learn through the school year by coordinating games with a Bible verse or story. Teachers appreciate the easy-to-follow instruction, positive reinforcement, active learning, and lesson application that are part of every activity in this book. |

| God designed men to be dangerous, says John Eldredge. Simply look at the dreams and desires written in the heart of every boy: To be a hero, to be a warrior, to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men abandon those dreams and desires--aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure to be a nice guy. It is no wonder that many men avoid church, and those who go are often passive and bored to death. In this provocative book, Eldredge gives women a look inside the true heart of a man and gives men permission to be what God designed them to be--dangerous, passionate, alive, and free. |
