I taught in the Discovery Studio this weekend @ 10a. Had a great time exploring why the couple on the Emmaus road did not recognize Jesus. The kids had a worksheet and went to 6 interactive stations that involved sight and seeing from different perspectives. The kids asked questions, made observations and documented their findings.
We watched movie clips from Prince Caspian, the part where Lucy saw Alsan but the other kids didn't. Why was she able to see Alsan but not her sister and brothers? Even though (our) kids didn't see Alsan in the movie, they believed Lucy did. We talked about the different ways of seeing or knowing. The couple on the road to Emmaus said their "hearts were burning" they knew there was something special about this man who was walking along the road with them.
The kids concluded that you can know Jesus with your heart even though you might not see or recognize Him with your eyes.
In June we move further into the story and introduce the Holy Spirit who teaches us and helps us to know Jesus. Great stuff in wwKiDs Journey.
