Coming up with Sunday school ideas to attract students and keep them involved is every teachers’ challenge. Try starting each Sunday school class with an ice-breaker game.
Students love to talk about themselves and their lives, so pick an ice-breaker that will let kids talk about their experiences and get ready to learn more about God.
A good example is Good Day-Bad Day, where you go around in a circle and say the best and worst thing that happened to you that week or that day, depending on how far back your students can remember. This often fuels good discussion or a great way for you to impart wisdom, because many of the bad experiences come from friend relationships, submission to parents, or an obligation to follow rules.
Another good game is the Thankful game, where everyone goes around and says at least one thing they are thankful for. While this game is especially appropriate around Thanksgiving time, it helps students remember their blessings all throughout the year.
