Kids love to play! Young children throw themselves into playing with that endless supply of energy and enthusiasm, and older children aspire to be just like their favorite athlete.

Object Lessons from Sports Kids Love builds on the attachment kids have to their favorite sports and helps them remember important lessons about God. These easy-to-use, kid-focused books are meant to provide teachers and leaders of children ages 6 to 12 with biblically sound and culturally relevant object lessons taught with the equipment from sports that kids love.

Each object lesson starts with a piece of sports equipment that most kids will recognize and builds on a Scripture-based theme to lead kids to deeper spiritual application. In addition, each lesson also suggests an object that the teacher can send home with each child to help the application stick. Just use items from your kitchen, craft basket, or tool chest to create lessons that fascinate children, illustrate a biblical truth, and deliver memorable messages your kids will love. Object Lessons from Sports Kids Love is ideal for Bible school classes, mid-week programs, and children's worship services.
