🍇Need a simple way to bring the biblical feasts into your homeschool or classroom
🍇Do you wonder what activities are simple, engaging, and age-appropriate for your students?
🍇Or maybe you’ve asked yourself, “What are the easiest ways to include the feasts in our schedule while staying focused on Bible study?”
Teaching the feasts doesn’t have to feel overwhelming! With just a few simple tools, you can introduce your students to God’s calendar, His appointed times, and the meaning behind each feast. Then see how to connect the Old and New Testaments using the feasts.
Here are some easy and flexible ways to begin:
1. Add Feast Days to Your Calendar
Since the biblical calendar is different from our modern calendar, adding the feasts to the your calendar is a good starting point.
2. Put the Feast on Your Bible Timeline
Kids love timelines because they make Bible history visual and easy to remember. Marking the feast days on your classroom or family timeline helps students see how the events of the Bible connect with the feasts God established.
3. Use Feast-Themed Activities
Short, hands-on activities—like coloring pages, simple crafts, or stick-figure drawings—help students remember what they learn. For example, during the Feast of Tabernacles, students can draw a sukkah or create a simple paper booth. These activities help students remember the purpose for each feasts and how it is to be celebrated.
4. Introduce Feast Scriptures
Choose one key verse or passage for each feast and have students read or memorize it. This keeps the focus on God’s Word. For older students, you can add both an Old Testament verse and a related New Testament reference.
5. Connect the Old and New Testaments
Show your students how Jesus and the early church celebrated the feasts. This opens the door for great discussions and helps them understand the continuity of Scripture.
6. Celebrate the Feasts Together
Beginning with one feast, add one feast to your yearly calendar. Purim is a great one to start with since it involves dressing up and reading the story of Esther. This way it is not overwhelming and allows your to add more to each celebration without it becoming overwhelming.
7. Keep It Simple
You don’t need elaborate celebrations to teach the feasts effectively. Even just talking about what the feast is, why it matters, and when it happens gives your students a strong foundation.
Final Thoughts
Adding the feasts into your homeschool or classroom is easier than you think. A timeline, a verse, and a simple activity are often all it takes to make these days come alive for your students.
