Christian educators have known it all along: Learning can be FUN! It's all in the presentation.
Learning on the Run is a practical how-to book advocating the praxis style of teaching, meaning action followed by reflection. Learners of all ages discover things for themselves through movement, noise, emotion, and challenging thinking. It's learning through creative engagement. Here are the ways your group may begin learning on the run:
- Wide Games
- Role-plays
- Board Games
- Enacted Bible Readings
- Drama
- Simulation Games
- Values Clarification Activities
Endacott provides more than 35 biblically based and detailed examples of activities to use as-is or to adapt for your specific group. Some of the indoor activities take less than an hour to complete while others run for an evening or an entire day. (The latter are great for retreats!)
"Learning on the Run will help you involve youth and adults actively in their faith growth," writes one reviewer. "The activities draw leaders and participants into fresh, lively, and exciting experiences with life. This book offers unique opportunities that can encourage learners to explore, at deeper depths, what it means to become true disciples of Christ."
