Lesson

- Opening Activity Idea: Memorable stories

  - Provide a piece of paper and marker for each volunteer

  - Ask each volunteer to identify a story they remember from childhood. 

  - Ask them to write down one line from the story on the piece of paper.

  - Have each volunteer hang up their piece of paper at the front of the room.

  - Read each line aloud and ask the remaining volunteers if they can guess what story the line is from.

  - You could award a prize to the volunteer who identifies the most stories correctly!

- Preparation for video content or lead your volunteers in reviewing Multiple Intelligences materials (see handout)

  - Verbal: Retain information through hearing stories, reading, or writing

  - Logical: Retain information through patterns, numbers, lists, timelines

  - Visual: Retain information through pictures and images

  - Musical: Retain information through songs and rhythms

  - Physical/Tactile: Retain information through movement of their bodies or hands

  - Solitary: Retain information when given time to reflect, ponder, and consider

  - Social: Retain information through interaction with others and hearing their thoughts

- Practice together:

  - Choose a Bible story (example: Joseph is sold into slavery by his brothers)

  - Divide into small groups

  - Each group come up with 1-2 ideas for each of the multiple intelligences categories

  - Share their ideas with the rest of the group

- Discussion:

  - Which of the multiple intelligences categories most connect with you as a learner/teacher?

  - Which of the following do you need help in finding ideas to connect with children who learn differently than you do?

- Concluding Activity:

  - Challenge your volunteers to use a new method during their next lesson to try to connect with children who they might not easily connect with because of their learning preferences.
