Teaching Churched Kids- 6 Tips on Keeping it fresh Prepared by Teachable Heart Ministries
1. pack some costumes • Have the kids act out the story • A costume is an instant set • With very little sewing you can turn a striped double flat bed sheet into three child size biblical costumes (pull over the head type) • Add some giant props made out of cardboard
2. Tell a modern story • Have the kids point out the biblical values or lack there off • Compare the character to a biblical one • Or tell a Old Testament story to illustrate a New Testament truth. Old story new spin! • Tell stories that have examples of relevant problem solving
3. try a demonstration • Cooking • Science • Sports • Hobbies • Use the demonstration to add interest or use the objects in the demonstration to illustrate biblical thruths
4. tell a old story from a new perspective • Jonah and the Whale, from the whale’s perspective • Daniel, from the lions perspective • David and Goliath, from the Philistines perspective • The Christmas story from the wise men's perspective
5. use puppets Two approaches • The puppet doesn’t understand, with guided questions the kids can explain the Biblical truth to the puppet • The puppet does understand- and it quizzes the kids Either way a story they heard before becomes a discussion they never had before!
6. try role playing or situation improv Ask these questions • Why do we need to know this? Why is this important? • What does this mean in my life? What is applicable here? • What problem does this solve? And in what situations would I need to know this?
