Kids'EE - method of teaching
Permission requested to use information from kidsee.org
Kids' EE is distinctive in its methods and approach.
Yet it is based on elements familiar to those who have participated
in Adult EE or Youth EE. It is also based on sound principles of
teaching, which recognize the needs of children.
Kids' EE is Interactive and Relational:
The Kids' EE methods can be summarized in two words: Interactive
and Relational. Kids' EE provides children with opportunities to
interact. They interact with each other, with their team leaders
and the teacher through discussions and small group activities.
They interact with the materials through making crafts and take
home items. They interact with the Kids' EE content by acting out
the illustrations, saying the Kids' EE Gospel Presentation and sharing
the gospel in OJT.
Kids' EE also provides opportunities for children
to relate to the adults and youth who are their team leaders. We
recognize that at this age children need and are looking for strong
role models. They want genuine relationships with adults they can
trust and with whom they can communicate. Through their relationships
with their team leaders, children in Kids' EE can experience meaningful
associations that have the potential for lasting influence.
Kids' EE Methods Reach all Children's Learning Styles:
Kids' EE introduces the materials for learning through methods that
appeal to children's primary learning styles. These learning styles
are based on the use of visual, print, auditory, kinesthetic, and
tactile materials.
Many children prefer to learn through visual materials
over against printed materials. Therefore, Kids' EE has developed
a complete set of visual materials for use in teaching children
the gospel presentation. The character of Farley weaves the materials
together and provides a common reference for the children to identify.
Teaching with objects such as a slime egg, which
is used to tell the Rotten Egg illustration to show man's sinfulness,
appeals to children who want to touch and feel and have hands-on
learning activities. In the Unit on Man, children learn this illustration
and use slime egg to tell it. Every unit includes some object that
provides a concrete illustration of one of the key concepts that
is taught in that unit.
Kids' EE methods and approaches strive to provide
children with numerous experiences that involve demonstration, discussions,
practice and actual teaching of others. Through the Kids' EE methods
of teaching and the use of the Kids' EE materials, children are
able to effectively learn and retain the Kids' EE Gospel Presentation.
