experience of teaching bible to primary school

Emily Yu

On November 2, international students who was in Ms. Woods have went to primary school to teach bible.

Before the activity, we prepared a lot. At first, we had different topic to teach, such as science, handwork and stories& songs. We got nearly a week to get ready. And I chose storer and song with other two girls. We searched many songs about bible. And most of them are for teenager and we confused about it a lot and we tried to choose a beautiful and also be for children. But we spent more than 3 days choosing a song which name is “if I am a butterfly”. It is really easy and we can act it clearly. After the preparation, we need to practice to make our plan be perfect and interesting. We designed a dancing and used some simple actions to explain the meaning of words for kinds. We worked together and tried our best to make it be interesting and we can attract the attention of kinds.

On November 2, we went to primary school and began our plan on them. Before the teaching, we felt excited and we all thought these little children are really cute. But at the time we began to our teaching, the situation is more difficult than imagine to manage them. At first, we would be patient and we can talk to them. During we told them story, there was also many noise. And it is a really tired to be a teacher, specially as a teacher for small kinds. We used many toys and storied to make them to be quite. At last, we told the story and sang songs to them. We used our own ability to spread the knowledge we have learnt. That is a excited thing for us. Although it is difficult and we need to spend a lot of time on it, we finished it and we had a meaningful experience. And we understand how hard to be a teacher and our teachers and parents are really laborious. And we can work together to solve problems.
