Here are some thoughts on how to organize a lesson.
There are various ways to organize a lesson, but here is one that I tend to use often when planning a Kids’ Church lesson.
Large Group
Introduce the story and hear the story for the first time.
Small Group
Tell the story again, maybe even twice, in a different way.
Relate the story to our own lives.
Pray, take some time to respond to the message.
Things to keep in mind.
Everyone learns in a different way. When planing a lesson keep in mind all the different ways a kid can learn, and try to incorporate them all into your lesson. Some kids will learn by…
Visual - they need to see something. Ex. pictures, videos, graphs, charts, symbols
Auditory - they need to hear something. Ex. telling the story, talking through ideas, the narrative in a video or skit, talking things through as a group
Reading and Writing - they need text heavy resources. Ex. making notes, reading the bible story and referring back to it.
Kinaesthetic - they need to move and be hands on. Ex. acting out the story, asking kids to move a certain way to answer a question, mystery scenes where they need to put the pieces together and figure something out on their own.
