The night before
Print the lesson, gather craft materials, practice the memory verse motion, and mark any sentences you want to shorten.
The morning of
Lead with the main point, not the craft. Use the activity to reinforce the sermon truth, keep instructions concrete, and leave time for prayer in kid-language.
Use it well
- Gather every material before class, including extras for new children or broken supplies.
- Practice the story script and memory verse motion once out loud before children arrive.
- Cut or simplify anything that distracts from the sermon truth or the passage.
A classroom lesson can be joyful and practical while still treating Scripture with care.
