Childrens Church Lesson – Make Your Students the Teachers

Are you looking for ideas for your childrens church lesson? Try the suggestion below to encourage participation and attendance in your church class.

Assign a small task to a student each week that will help you teach the upcoming Sunday school lesson. Making students co-teachers encourages them to make Sunday school their own project and makes them want to come back!

For example, give a student three or four Bible passages to read through that are relevant to the next week’s topic. Ask them to read through the passages with their parents and pick their favorite. Students should be asked to bring in something that the passage describes or depict the passage in artwork. When the student arrives the following week, the teacher can ask the student to read the passage aloud to the group and explain what they brought in and why.

Asking students to help teach makes them feel important and accomplished, especially when you encourage other students to pay attention to the speaker. Making it an honor will make teaching desirable to the kids, to the point that they can’t wait to come back, and those who are listening will be excited for their own turn at teaching the class.
