Wonder Box Curriculum: ALL THE BIRDS OF THE AIR

Pentecost 4 B, Pentecost 12 A, Easter 5 C, Earth Day, days with other bird-related texts

Mark 4:30-32, Matt 13:31-32, Ezekiel 17:22-24, 

Salal + Cedar Wonder Box Curricula are designed for multi-age groups with the intention of growing children’s love of God’s creation. They bring together inspiration and wisdom from Messy Church, Godly Play and Forest Schools. The materials are organized for a 90 minute session and small parts can be used for a 30 minute Sunday School lesson or a 5 minute Children’s Talk.

Before the children arrive

One adult or youth leader should have reviewed the materials and be prepared to tell the story. It can also be helpful for volunteers assisting at different stations to have a chance to look over the instructions and materials ahead of time. Convene the circle or class as is your usual custom. If at all possible, we encourage you to meet outside. Prior to the participants’ arrival, set up as many exploration stations as you are able to manage with the time, equipment and helpers that you have. Some can be messy. 

Focus Time with Words and Actions

You will need a brown or green cloth to represent the earth, a cedar bough, a small bird’s nest, a small number of different kinds of feathers, and mustard seeds.
