Looking to connect with Sunday School Teachers across the world.
To share your experiences with children and effective teaching methodologies.
Of course a parent is the first teacher. Most welcome.
Hi Malcolm,,,
I DID teach our faith to children.
I liked the older ones....8 to about 11/12.
The younger kids just colored a lot and were told very simple
stories...this just wasn't for me.
A method that I found useful, no matter what age,
was purposefully to make kids think. If t hey come up with the answer
it's more probable that they will remember it.
So ask a lot of questions. As them what they THINK about something or other.
Also, very important IMO, is that they remember special occasions a lot.
For instance...at Easter and Christmas I had them do special crafts.
Cards for the parents....images for the resurrection.
The older kids got to discuss what they thought about the resurrection, for instance.
I'm sure there's a lot more I'm not thinking about right now.
I had to quit about 5 years ago.
I miss this very much.
