I am a Sunday School Director and Teacher and found the higher grades enjoy doing creative learning of Scripture and lessons regarding our
Orthodox Faith so I try to be as creative as I can.

I created Three Way to Learn which is
1. Fill in Missing Words
Rewriting a lesson leaving important words out
Children have to fill in the missing words via
the book, or as a test without the book.

2. Crossword Puzzle
With the words that have been left out,I have created a Crossword Puzzle and provided questions
in order for them to understand the meaning of the word.

3. Seek A Word
With these words I have created Seek A Word which
will also reinforce the learning of these words.

I could design this Three Way to Learn for any
Teacher interested. All I would need is the
Lesson or Material in order to create it.

If interested, would love to share my creative
ability with you.

Also I could create creative ways of learning spelling words and definitions. I find if we can
create stories using the words along with the meaning of course, the child is able to know the word as well as spell it and remember it.
