Classroom
decor should be geared towards kids. It doesn't have to be an amusement
park, unless of course that is in your budget! A little imagination goes
a long way. Try to think at the child's level and make it interesting
for them. Christian posters, brightly colored "Welcome" signs,
freshly painted walls, inviting attendance charts, candy
trees (for rewards) and other creative wall or ceiling decorations.
Old sheets can be transformed into banners for the cause of Christ. When
ever possible let the kids help decorate, they will want to show others
the cool room that they have helped to create.
Frame your white board/chalk board with an interesting monthly theme,
these can be made easily out of cardboard and other material. Giants,
Arks, Armor of God, Bible Heroes, Bible Villains, Talking Bibles and more
can surround you board.
Have an old trunk?
Turn it into a treasure chest, then fill it with Bibles. For where you
treasure is, there your heart will be also. Kid's that forget their
Bible or don't have one can borrow one from the treasure chest.
A boom box to play their favorite Christian music. Boom boxes are also
a great way to illustrate sound effects during stories. Add a microphone
and you or the kids turn into a roving reporter. Remember the first
impression can be the most important. Make it count, make it fun!
