Gideon Puts out a Fleece, Judges 6:5-40, Homeschool, Bible Lesson

By Cheryl Bennett

This resource is great for ages pre-school to adult. It includes activities for all ages and some that can just be adapted for each age group. If you are ready to take your personal Bible study to a new level, especially in preparation for teaching, you will find pages to guide you.

Include:

  • Printing instructions
  • Colorful clipart
  • A simplified story for younger learners
  • A study guide for older ages
  • Activities to help learners engage with the text and not simply passively take it in
  • Story pages with color
  • Story pages in black and white - great for coloring pages
  • A storyboard in color - perfect for review on the day of the lesson or days later
  • A storyboard in black and white - can be used as a resource to send home with students so they can re-read with parents or others at home
  • Puzzle piece activity that can be used for different ages. It serves as a review of Judges 6 and how it connects to the gospel. Print and cut out the puzzle pieces and have learners match the description with the picture. You can read to the students who are not yet reading. You can also mix them up so that they have to put them in order of the story. This page serves as an answer key before it is cut.
  • In-depth study pages for Judges as a whole. The goal is to begin to use the Inductive Bible Study method to help students (adults and children) observe scripture in context and then interpret it and apply it correctly. Use your discretion for the ages that are ready for this much depth. It involves re-reading the chapter and may need to be done over several days.
  • The Gospel is on slide 23 and can be used with every lesson as a reminder that the Gospel is central to all of the Word of God.

Main Idea Graphic Organizer

By Basic Biz Teaching

This free graphic organizer is great for having your second and third grade students work on using different parts of texts to determine the main idea. Easy to use, just print and use with any text! When introducing, or reinforcing, main idea with my students, I review multiple ways to help determine the main idea of stories.

To find the main idea we:

  • look at the title
  • look at the pictures
  • look for repeated words
  • reread the first sentence

My class uses this organizer to list information gained from each of those tips and then combine it together to write the main idea in the middle.

Perfect for cooperative learning too!

  • create groups of 4
  • assign each student one strategy
  • have them share with their group what they found
  • work together to determine main idea
