Remember When Flannel Graph Boards was Cuttin Edge? |
Old Time Country Preacher |
Remember when the teachers would take a picture an place it on the flannel board to illustrate some biblical story/principle? Yep, the PowerPoint of its generation, em flannel graph boards was cutting edge fer a while.
What other stuff can ya think of what used to be cutting edge, but has run its course, an now only brings a smile? |

We had a copy machine that had a big drum which the paper rolled around and spewed some kind of ammonia smelling stuff from the barrel below. What ever this contraption was called it did make copies that were light blue in color. |

I have news for you, The flannel graphs were dropped because some one said, "It has out lived it's usefulness."
The Flannel graph would still be relevant up to 8 years old. Kids NEED to use their imagination, the flannel graph allows that. I went with my GGrand daughter to a park this evening. She was memorized by a man and his son playing 'shoe'. The boy was using a folded umbrella for a bat the dad was throwing a flip flop. Everyone loved it. The park had the most modern toys, swings, balance walks, climbing wall and a fort. But the majority was interested in the two playing 'shoe'.
But for sure, it has gone the way of the dinosaur.
To the OP, I will add one:

Ole Timer, I want to WATCH the story, not TELL the story. Thanks for the tip, though.

Cojak, I couldn't agree more that kids need to use their imagination.
Apparently you have a knack for holding their attention. I have noticed that the more kids are exposed to lots of TV and lots of hard-driving music, it seems the shorter their attention span. The electronic over-stimulation seems to stymie the natural creativity kids have.
The reaction of some church programs is to match that electronic over-stimulation to keep the kids engaged.
