People

• The Bible has many role models whom children are encourage to emulate. Young children love to play dress-up, and encouraging them to come to a Sunday school class or party dressed as their favorite character allows their imagination to run free. Combine it with a required short presentation about the character and why it is important to be like that character.
  
  

Places

• The Bible is full of vivid descriptions of many places. People wander through civilized Egypt, deserts, large walled cities, small town, and great seas. Putting these all into context for children works better with their active participation. Letting them create scale models of buildings and ships, and then putting them into their proper geographical settings, helps children visualize what things looked like back then. Show that an ant-size Joseph and Mary would have to walk from "here" to "there" in their church, as an equivalent to walking from Nazareth to Bethlehem. Then show that they would have to walk from "there" to "way over there in the next building" to walk from Nazareth to Egypt after the birth of Jesus.
  
  

Events

• Children love exciting stories, and few stories are more thrilling than the ones from the Bible. Sock puppets are simple to make, and having children put on a sock-puppet theater with their favorite stories will delight them and their parents. Daniel's lions come to life with long, flowing manes of yellow yarn, and little Zacharias in the tree needs only a baby's sock to show how small he was.
  
  

Culture

• It is sometimes difficult for 21st-century Americans to understand the culture from several thousand years ago. Showing the children some of what is was like will broaden their understanding. Take them to a farm, and let them see Biblical animals such as sheep and pigs, to bring new meaning to those stories. Show how the farmers worked their lands with basic tools; this helps them understand the importance of farming and why so many stories are based around agriculture.
