the others in this series are quite good, THIS ONE ISN'T
1. The woman who sings the songs has a lovely voice, but poor enunciation for a beginner's ear (unlike the other "teach me" recordings).
2. The are no translations for the vast majority of the materials, so be ready to spend a lot of time figuring it out yourself.
3. When there are (supposedly) other children on the recording, the voices, including the male children's voices, are faked by the same woman (or maybe with the help of another woman).It's pretty cheesy.
4.There is a LOT of talking without translation.The stories are nice, but unless your already proficient, skip it.As I said, there's no translation, you're on your own, and your children will be asking you "where's the singing?" ... Read more

Cool stuff
Although this book is geared toward Sunday School teachers, it deserves a place in any home where parents want to make the lessons of the Bible fun and memorable. Show Me! Devotions for Leaders to Teach Kids is an impressive collection of tricks, projects, and creations that help parents and teachers bring home biblical truths.

Written by Susan L. Lingo, each two page spread of this book features a project, complete with biblical references and questions to ask kids. For example, the first project requires a raw potato and a straw. Lingo suggests reading Matt. 19:24 (about a camel going through the eye of a needle) and asking kids how easy they think it would be for that to actually happen. Then she suggests asking kids how easy it is to push a straw through a raw potato. When kids try, they won't be able to do it, but with a simple trick, the adult can. Then the adult can explain that God makes even the impossible is possible.

Many of the projects offer hands-on things for the kids themselves to do.

Almost all the projects use ordinary household or office items, and the author gives suggestions for additional, related things that might go with the project, according to the maturity level of the kids you're teaching. Lingo also offers ideas on other Bible verses the project might work nicely with. Throughout, simple black and white illustrations help adults understand how to pull off the projects.

What I Like: Many of these projects are sure to impress kids, like the bottle that obeys commands, a banana that falls apart (it's "bad fruit") when it's unpeeled, balancing a glass of water on a card (illustrating balance in our lives), and "magically" appearing crosses (for a lesson in communication). I also appreciate that Lingo has given adults a complete program - with a script to follow.

What I Dislike: Some of the projects seem a little tricky - and in fact the author cautions adults to practice ahead of time. If you're not good at magic tricks, you probably won't be good at some of these projects because they require "slights of hand."

Overall Rating: Very Good.

"Show Me!" Devotions for Leaders to Teach Kids
I found this book to be 100% creative when it comes to practical ways to teach your children about God and His Word.I even learned a great number of cool 'tricks' to do for kids that will keep them (and me!) completely fascinated.

Seriously Awesome!!!

i am a Sunday School teacher (1st-3rd grade) and when i discovered my kids love having hands on projects, i found this book. this book has really helped me explain to the kids in a way they understand and they have LOTS of fun doing it. they seem to remember bible verses better when they're have fun. these experiments are easy to do and most items can be found around the house. all the experiemtns are focused around the bible and Gods love; it's clearly explains everything on a childs level. i love this book and recommned it for anyone working with children!!!

A great resource for Children's Minsitry!
In this book you will find 52 (WOW!) great ideas of using ordinary objects to show extraordinary things...and then tie it to the Scriptures!Then, add the twist on that kids can share the activities with others....an even better value in this resource.
As always, Group Publishing has really come through with a resource that is valuable, easy to use and one that kids will remember for a long time!And, it is so EASY for the teacher to pull it off....wow!That makes it worth it all together.

This Book is Wonderful
I am a Children's Pastor, and found this book through my Amazon Recommendations (thanks Amazon!). It is fantastic. The object lessons are easy to do, and really grab the attention of kids. Each lesson is keyed to a scripture and a quick "devotion" but I've often found that in going over a given illusion or illustration, I will be inspired to take it in an entirely different direction, and build an entire children's sermon on it. Other times, like last week, I used three objects from this book during one lesson.

The mark of a good object lesson for kids is when you're doing it, and you hear "oooooooh!" rise up from your congregation. This book is full of "ooooooooohs!"

Highly recommended. Can be adapted to small Sunday School classes, or full blown Children's Church. ... Read more
