Why This Preschool Bible Activity Works
Let’s be honest—teaching preschoolers can be a fun challenge. You always feel like you’re repeating yourself… and that’s a good thing! Young children thrive on repetition. It builds confidence, reinforces learning, and helps them internalize key concepts.
This simple game gives you a fresh and engaging way to repeat the most important truths again and again. Whether you're introducing the gospel story for the first time or reinforcing it week after week, "Fishing for Good News" is the perfect tool to help your little learners connect Bible truths to their hearts and minds—through play.
