3 How to Use This Material Bible Tools for Kids: Maps & Charts can be used in lots of ways to help elementary kids gain a better understanding of the places where events happened in God s Word. Maps & Charts can help make bigger concepts more understandable. Maps can help take the confusion out of topics such as the Exodus from Egypt and the missionary trips of Paul and the other apostles. Places and names of the Bible are not simply bits of information to learn; they have spiritual significance. People are relevant when we know them: what they do, what they say, what they look like, and so forth. It s the same with places. A place is relevant when we can understand it: what it s like, where it is, and know some things that happened there. The activities provided and the ones you develop on your own should help the kids in your class see the places and become familiar enough with them so that they aren t just dots on a map or names in a book. For large maps and charts: print all the pages of a map or chart. Line up the text and art, trim the edges as needed, and tape the pages together. You can use the small map or chart to see how it should look. You could mount the map or chart on poster board and/or cover with clear adhesive covering for added durability. For individual maps and charts: print the small map or chart and copy for students. Mount each map or chart on a wall or bulletin board so that everyone can easily see the map. Have the kids gather around the map if possible. When discussing travel from one location to another, explore why people traveled the way they did or why they lived where they did. Point out bodies of water, mountain ranges, and deserts. Try to indicate modern equivalents of distance and time.
