Caledonia Presbyterian Sunday School Rotational Model Workshops

What is the Rotational Model?

The Rotational Model concentrates on the major stories of the Bible over and over again. The same lesson is taught in a four or five week rotation through various activities such as crafts, games, drama, music, cooking and so on. This approach re-enforces the story through repetition and takes advantage of each child's gifts through the 7 multi-intelligences:
  1. Word-Smart:   Read about it, write about it, talk about it, and listen to it.
  2. Number Smart:   Quantify it, conceptualize it, and think critically about it.
  3. Picture Smart:    See it, draw it, visulaize it, color it, mind_map it, symbolize it>
  4. Body Smart:   Act it out, dance it, build it, touch it.
  5. Music Smart:  Sing it, rap it, play it, listen it.
  6. People Smart:   Teach it, discuss it, collaborate on it, and interact with respect to it.
  7. Self Smart:   Think about it, connect it to one's personal life, and make choices regarding it.
