Jesse Box
What is the Jesse Box? The Jesse Box is an interactive learning tool that helps the instruction of the faith through the narrative of salvation history to children from the ages of 3-12 years through a parish based scripture program. It consists of many “stories” that walk students through God’s saving plan from Creation to Eternal Life. Liturgical year stories are included. After reading and listening to the Scripture passage the children bring to life the Bible story using arts and crafts.
A Story Manual accompanies each Scripture story with the components required to retell and create the particular story.
There is also a reproducible Activity Book with each story that has different activities for each day of the week to help reinforce the Scripture passage. For further information contact Paul on 086 4085626 or click on www.thejessebox.com
