Blocks Show How God Relates to Mathematics

Just about every kid can see the relationship between 1/2/4/8/16 if it is spelled out for them. (Each number is double its predecessor.) But often, especially when we are following Christ, truths are missed due to great distractions. This lesson of building five structures with the number of blocks doubling each time will have kids searching for truth in a fun way!

A Barn Made of Blocks Teaches About Greed

This lesson is more of a story where you’re going to use a barn that your students construct. The lesson is a necessary one - on storing too much and sharing too little!

Towers Help Us Understand Christian Growth

Building blocks are a perfect metaphor for our Christian growth and how God sometimes uses challenging circumstances to make us bigger and better people. Build a tower with your students using a four-tier structure like the one above to help kids memorize Romans 5:3-5, a very important Scripture about how God “builds us up!”

A Bridge Helps us Understand Christ’s Sacrifice

This lesson uses blocks to demonstrate the four spiritual laws to kids. As they build, they will have a better understanding of how Jesus is the bridge between us and God, and how to use him to cross over!

Mansions Help Us to Understand Heaven

Here’s another lesson to reinforce how tough times can be seen in a different, and far better, light - if we imagine what we are building for ourselves in heaven. You will be building a “heavenly house” with your students, and every block will represent something to overcome here on earth.

Falling Temples Show that God Isn’t Confined to Churches

This lesson in building a temple will help kids understand what Jesus meant when he said his people would worship him “in spirit and in truth.” Our church buildings are fine places to gather for worship, but we should worship God in our hearts - in our rooms, schools, places of business, and in nature—not just in church.

A Straight and Narrow Road Teaches about Faith

Here’s a chance to introduce your students to the concept of the “straight and narrow” and how choosing that path can make all the difference in their lives. With each building block your students’ faith will grow!

Changing Structures Show God’s Way of Building Us

Blocks can be moved all around to create different structures. Hence, they are a great way to show how God can begin to “shift” things around in our hearts and our lives to make us into mature Christians. This demonstration, making a house and making various structures out of a pile of the same six blocks, will help kids understand this concept.

Building Shows How God Creates Order from Chaos

A wise man once noted that “while life is happening, it doesn’t often make sense. Life can often seem like a chaos of good times and bad, good luck and injustices. But when looking back on your life, it reads like a finely crafted novel.” Making order out of chaos with this pile of blocks will help kids see that God really does know what He’s doing, no matter how chaotic life may seem at times.
