Abstract

Five biblical stories which are developmentally appropriate for use with three to five-year-old children were selected. The criteria for the selection was based on their suitability for teaching community values and relationships to young children. The key moral values taught were love, kindness, caring, friendship, and sharing. The five biblical stories were used as a center of interest when developing character and teaching values to the three to five-year-old preschoolers. Character education is easier to espouse in the abstract than to provide in the concrete. So in writing the storytelling curriculum for character development, which I feel was successful, I tried to be as concrete as possible. The objectives for the writing of the curriculum were: (1) to develop a curriculum on Christian character development for preschoolers using a comparative approach which will be pilot-tested and then taught at the Goldia and Robert Naylor Children's Center at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary; (2) to develop supplementary ways to present character development, teaching and forms of evaluation which will include parents' participation; and (3) to gain firsthand experience in writing stories for preschoolers and understanding preschoolers as well as involving their parents in the process of character education.
