Today we are going to learn about African Art. Wikipedia has given a lot of wonderful detailed information on African art. Like I said, there is a lot of information but I think you will be able to pull some information out of it and also see some neat pictures of art. I thought this website was great too in that it shares some African art ideas that you could google and get some more information to share.

This is a perfect time to talk about the Bible and how to use it. You can show the children your Bible so they have a better understanding of what a book, chapter and verse are. You can say:
“The Bible is one big book made up of many smaller books. Each book has a name. Today we are learning a Bible verse in the book of Acts. When you find Acts in the new testament look for the number 2 at the top left or right of the page, this is the chapter. You will see Acts 2. We are looking for verse 3, and those numbers are much smaller under the big 2.”
After looking at the Bible show them “Acts 2:3” written out on their Memory Verse Coloring Sheet. To see and hear all of the Books that make up the Bible watch this fun, short video, The Books of the Bible, by Readeez!
After they are done coloring they can hang their Memory Verse Coloring Sheet up in a special place. Then when your child walks by the sheet they can work on memorizing the Bible verse.
