How Many Ways, p. 24

Children with reading difficulties (such as dyslexia) or other fine motor difficulties (such as dysgraphia) might benefit from assistance in writing the words they wish to put under the stickers. Children with intellectual/developmental disabilities and who visually impaired will also need help writing the words and might benefit from a discussion of what is happening in each picture. Consider having children work together in pairs to compete this activity.

Dot-to-Dot Activity, p. 27

Children with fine motor difficulties and children who are visually impaired or blind might find it a challenge to compete this activity. If you have children with these needs in your group, try an alternate version in which you ask children to close their eyes and have them guess what priests, prophets and kings had in common. Ask them to keep their eyes closed and tell them they will use their senses of touch and smell. Use a small amount of olive oil and draw a cross in the back of each child’s hand. Next, open a small box of perfumed oil (scented with balsam if possible) and bring it close enough to your children to allow them to smell it. Now have the children guess what priests, prophets, and kings had in common.

You are God’s Anointed, p. 29

Children with visual or fine motor difficulties might need some support with this activity.  Have them work with partners to verbally complete the activity. The partner (or you) write their responses in the boxes for them.

Children with reading difficulties (such as dyslexia) or with intellectual/developmental delays might need assistance in spelling the words they wish to use to write what Jesus might be saying.

The Heart of a Learner, p. 30

Children with reading difficulties will likely have challenges completing this activity. Have children work in pairs. Have the child who might have difficulty putting the letters in the correct order be the “letter finder,” counting and calling out every third letter. (Letter reversals are unlikely to be a problem here since capital letters are used.) Then have the child’s partner work on putting the letters in an order than makes sense on the page.

Disciples Change the World, p. 31

Children with reading difficulties, fine motor difficulties, intellectual/developmental delays and those who visually impaired might benefit from assistance in writing the words they wish to write in the boxes.

Children who have challenges with attention or impulsive behavior might wish to “act out” or pantomime ways they can follow Jesus’ example as priest, prophet, or king.
