How can Jesus children stories be used in teaching children values?

They can be used in teaching children in multiple ways. First, these stories can be read aloud during story time. As you read, you can stop and ask questions like 'What do you think Jesus meant here?' in the story of the Prodigal Son. This helps kids think about forgiveness. Second, you can act out the stories. When acting out the story of Jesus walking on water, kids can better understand the concept of faith. Also, you can use the stories to teach values. In the story of the ten virgins, the idea of being prepared can be taught to children.

Jesus children stories can teach moral values like kindness. For example, in the story of Jesus blessing the children, we learn that all are worthy of love and respect regardless of age. This can be used to teach children to be kind to others.

They can be used directly. For example, the story of Abinadi. His courage in standing up for what he believed in can be used to teach kids about bravery. Just tell the story and then discuss how Abinadi didn't fear the bad king and was willing to sacrifice himself for his beliefs.

Parents can use these stories at bedtime. For example, they can tell the story of Joseph Smith and how he had visions. Then they can talk about how important it is to listen to God's messages. This helps children connect religious teachings with their daily lives. They can also act out the stories together, which makes it more fun and engaging for the kids and helps them remember the lessons better.

They are useful as children can easily relate to the characters in the stories. For example, if a story has a child character showing courage, it can inspire the young listeners to be brave too.

They can also be used to introduce children to the concept of faith. When we tell the story of Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt, kids can see how the Israelites had to trust in God and Moses. It can start a conversation about believing in something greater. By acting out these stories using felt figures, children are more engaged and can better understand the lessons. For instance, they can use felt to make the Red Sea and the Israelites crossing it, making the story more tangible.

Little pitcher stories can be used to teach children values in many ways. For example, if a story has a little pitcher that is always honest, like it never lies about how much water it can hold, children can learn about honesty. They see that being honest is a good thing.

African bedtime stories can teach children values like wisdom. For example, in the Anansi stories, Anansi's use of his wits shows children that intelligence can be a great asset.

They can be used as illustrations. For example, when teaching about kindness, 'The Good Samaritan' can be told. It gives a clear example of what it means to be kind.

Another way is to use the illustrations in the book, if there are any. If the story book has pictures of Jesus healing the sick, it can help children visualize the story better. Then you can explain to them about kindness and God's power to heal, which is a great way to instill good values in children through these Bible stories.
