The story of colors ?

Question

I am teaching Sunday school and I am gonna teach on the story of colors.
Gold meaning the streets of gold in heaven, who God is.
Black meaning sin because sin is dark and black.
Red meaning the blood of Jesus, that he died for our sins.
White meaning the cleansing of Jesus, washing our sins away.
Green meaning growing strong as a Christian.
I am wanting to have some sort of craft/ coloring pages, or something for the kids to do with the lesson, anybody have any ideas,? or any web sites that you know of that is good to get any ideas from? Thanks in advance for any input.
Ang

I have already taught about God's promise, the rainbow, Noah and the Ark.

And to the person that mentioned the black kids that might be in my class, I am not predjudice,, This is the colors and the story that I happened to run across a few days ago and I wasn't thinking black or white,, just that it sounds like a good message, By the way we do have black children and grown ups in our church and nobody at our church thinks "White or Black" we are all brothers and sisters in Christ.

We don't even think Red, Blue, Green, Purple, Yellow,,Grey,,Brown,,whatever color anybody may be,>TO us we are all created equal, No one person is better then the other person,,We are all the same in God's eyes. Love one another, treat your neighbor as you want to be treated,,

Answer 1

Why not teach on the first rainbow; in the story of Noah? The rainbow represents G-d's promise to never destroy the world again with a flood. Rainbows represent mercy.

Answer 2

Go to DLTK's printable crafts page. I use it for a lot of my coloring ideas both Christian and secular. There is also a poem about the jellybeans that could be used and you could give each child a baggie of them with the jellybean poem on it. I will see if I can find it again but I got it online at one of the pages that link with DLTK's if nothing else under holiday activities.

Answer 3

My church did something for the kids this last Sunday. The kids made a headband out of construction paper and made "feathers" of each color out of construction paper and attached them to the back of the headband in a cute way. I have no idea what they did besides put the headband and feathers together.

Answer 4

JUST REMEMBER THAT THESE LESSONS YOU TEACH CHILDREN REALLY STICK INSIDE THEIR LITTLE HEARTS AND SO YOUR LESSONS ARE VERY PERSUASIVE IN FORMING THEIR FUTURE BELIEFS AND ASSOCIATIONS TOWARDS THINGS IN LIFE.
ON THE OTHER HAND.....
IF YOU TEACH THAT RED IS JESUS BLOOD ATTEMPT TEACHING THEM THAT ALL HUMAN BLOOD IS RED FIRST OF ALL IS NOT AS SCARY.....
MAYBE DEFINING THAT THE GOLD PAVING OF STREETS IS A CERTAIN PLACE INSIDE OF THEMSELVES IN THE MEANTIME WHERE TREASURES ARE COLLECTED OF THE HEART THAT NO HUMAN CAN RIP UP AND SELL BY STEALING.......
BLACK IS ALSO THE COLOR OF NIGHTTIME WHICH WAS CREATED BY GOD SO DO NOT BE AFRAID OF YOURSELF IF YOU HAPPEN TO LIKE THE COLOR BLACK.......DOES NOT MEAN YOU'RE EVIL.
MAYBE FOR YOUR CRAFT PROJECT YOU COULD HAVE TEXTURES OR NATURE COLLAGES.....RED ROSE PETALS,GREEN LEAVES,TWIGS,CHARCOAL,ETC.
TEACH THEM TO USE THEIR OWN ADORATION FOR THEIR HEAVEN AND ALLOW THEM TO PAVE THEIR STREETS ANY (EVEN BLACK LIKE CEMENT) COLOR THEY WANT.
COOL.....GOOD LUCK.....YOU'RE SO BLESSED TO BE GIVING THE DIVINE TO LITTLE MINDS.....BE CAREFUL.

Answer 5

I've heard of something like this. I think they call them "salvation bracelets". The colors are slightly difference but essentially all you need is some string leather and colored beads. Look it up.

Answer 6

you can cut out of cardboard the shape of a shield and they could color all these colors into the shield of faith. Stones, trim and gold the main color.

Answer 7

What does that say about any black children who might be in your sunday-school class?

Answer 8

You have left out such spiritually significant colors as violet, indigo, and blue...

Why?

Answer 9

with Christmas approaching you can look to the candy cane and it's story of colors.
