Wondering what to do with the kids this year? "Traditions" has the answer. It's really more of a performance/activity book than a book about traditions--unless you include starting new ones. The mostly acrostic activities can be tailored for one to dozens of children, and can be used with lots of groups for one long performance, or by a small group, a little at a time. And of course, nothing here has to be performed before an audience at all--other than the class leader, teacher or parent. Children will benefit by learning the simple sentences/ rhymes/ and easy Scripture verses without any emphasis on public display. But the little acrostic pieces are perfect for a pre-sermon quickie performance and will assuredly delight parents and audiences. In addition to reciting, the activities include cutting, pasting and decorating a small tree, and the emphasis is totally on Jesus. I'm already planning which ones to use for our family and church this year. The thinking has been done, and I have only to copy, and work with the kids. What a relief!</span></p> <p></p> <p style="text-align:right;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-style:italic;color:#0000ff;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Linore Rose Burkard</span></p> <p></p> <p style="text-align:right;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-style:italic;color:#0000ff;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Inspirational Romance Author</span></p> <p></p> <p style="text-align:right;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-style:italic;color:#0000ff;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Homeschooling mother of five</span></p> <p></p> <p style="text-align:right;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-style:italic;color:#0000ff;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Cincinnati, OH</span></p> <p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-style:italic;color:#0000ff;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">I was searching for simple patterns of the Chrismons to use in my children's program.
