Kate & Mack Children's Resource

Kate, a missionary kid, and her faithful parrot friend, Mack, are on an adventure to meet friends all over the world.

As Kate and Mack explore new places and cultures, the kids in your church will learn about God's great love for all people and why everyone needs a Bible they can understand.

Kate & Mack crafts, games, recipes, and activities are perfect for kids from kindergarten through 5th grade! Check out the VBS and Sunday School curriculums available. 

We invite you to use these in your Perspectives classes as resources to equip the parents to teach kids about the world from a missions-based perspective or alongside a Perspectives class if the host church is offering childcare.

 Language Acquisition Demonstration 

(This was formerly known as Monolingual Demonstration.)

In this fun and challenging activity, the class observes and participates as an instructor demonstrates the use of linguistic tools to identify elements of a target language in which they have no prior knowledge. In just a short time they show how it is possible to construct a  grammatically correct sentence in the target language. 

This intriguing demonstration takes 20-30 minutes.  It shows that if class members approach language learning as a social event, they need not fear crossing language and cultural barriers on their journey to become world Christians. 

Works well with lessons 10 and 11, but can be done with any lesson.

Notes: 

• The instructor will need a person who speaks a different language , one they are not familiar with. Please coordinate ahead of time with the instructor about this to make sure the 'other language' person is present in the class.

• A large writing surface (i.e. whiteboard) is needed for the instructor to write discoveries and interim notes during the language analysis.
