Surprise, Surprise (p. 14)

Children with visual or fine motor difficulties might need some support with this activity.  It might be helpful to allow them to complete the activity verbally, and write their responses in the boxes for them.

Children with reading difficulties (such as dyslexia) and children with intellectual/developmental disabilities might need assistance in spelling the words they wish to use to respond to the prompts on this page.

For children with attention problems or impulsive behavior, it might be helpful to begin this activity by bringing one or two wrapped items with an obvious shape in order to introduce this page by working with real objects.  This might raise the interest of other children in the group as well.

God, the Giver of Gifts (p. 17)

Children with reading difficulties and children with intellectual/ developmental delays might struggle to complete this activity. These leaners may benefit from a conversation about what is happening in the picture as well as the printed word (with letters in the correct order) that they can use as a model for writing the word correctly.

The Heart of a Disciple (p. 20)

Children with reading difficulties might benefit from assistance in reading the words on the stickers so they can place them in the correct spaces.

Children with intellectual/developmental delays will also need help reading the words and might also benefit from a discussion of what is happening in each picture. Consider having children work together in pairs to compete this activity.

Listening for the Holy Spirit (p. 21)

Children with fine motor difficulties and children who are visually impaired may have difficulty with this activity.  For children that wish to color, but have difficulty seeing or coloring the smaller spaces, it might be helpful to enlarge this activity on a copier so they can more easily complete the task.  For children who are blind, try an alternate version of this activity, give large wooden or plastic letters, or letters you cut from rough sand paper. After they have identified all the letters, ask them to discover the word the letters make.
