The “old school” tool your classroom still needs
|
Hey Reader! I remember my Sunday School teacher telling the story of Noah building the ark with a flannel board! As she told the story, we were allowed to add the boat, the animals, and Noah’s family. I remember moving the animals from the ark back out onto land at the end and then adding in the rainbow as a symbol of God’s faithfulness! Flannel boards aren’t just “old school.” They’re one of the simplest, most powerful tools you can use in early childhood classrooms. What’s a flannel board? A vertical piece of felt/flannel + story props.
Why use them? 👉 Engage learners. Visuals + interaction = more attention and retention especially when you include the children in using the props. When was the last time you pulled out a flannel board in your classroom? Reply to this email and let us know your favorite story to tell using a flannel board. Need a little more help?
