Jennifer Bizama – Loveland, Colorado … The Junior Bible classes at Campion Academy (CA) in Loveland, Colorado, completed their annual field trip down to the on-campus elementary school at HMS Richards Adventist School to present the Bible studies they had been working on in Bible class, October 15. Each Bible study included a main point about a specific Bible truth with a story and an activity at the end to reinforce learning.
The elementary students at HMS Richards enjoyed interacting with the high school students and completing such activities as playing with playdough, hide-and-seek, building with cups, reading the Bible, and acting out the story.
Sometimes the study went according to plan such as CA student Luke’s experience. He said, “It was fun, and they were working. They learned the whole memory verse! And I think they understood the message.”
The CA students also learned that teaching can sometimes require some changes in lesson plans. Grace, CA student, commented that “it was good to learn to improvise on the spot and how to be flexible.”
But overall, the high school students enjoyed their time at HMS Richards. “I had fun!” enthused CA student Tita. “The kids interacted with the game. They were happy to read their Bibles, and they loved the Japanese candy that Aito brought.”
CA student Israel capped off the experience by saying, “I enjoyed hanging out with the kids. It was very fun.”
