baha’i children’s class ideas.

baha’i children’s class ideas is a blog born of a desire to provide resources and inspiration to teachers of Baha’i children’s classes, and particularly to foster learning about neighbourhood children’s classes. in order to take a systematic approach to this learning, the following methodology is used: 1) blog lesson plans; 2) put said lesson plans into practice; 3) blog the results. each lesson plan has an associated “experience” section which explains how effective the plan was when put into practice. this provides a cycle of action and reflection that stimulates learning; a certain level of consultation is also provided by the suggestions and comments left by visitors.

Also included with the lesson plans are many examples of activities: games, crafts, songs, stories, worksheets, and so on - most of them having been field-tested during the regular classes that form the raison d’être of the blog.
