I'm a pretty old-fashioned guy. I like calling Sunday School "Sunday School." I think it's not a bad idea for students to gather once a week for age-appropriate Bible study with their same-aged peers. I like Sunday School material with realistic biblical art, not cartoons. And I'm okay with lessons that are fairly traditional. I think every lesson should teach about Jesus with clear Law and Gospel.
But as I look at Sunday School lessons these days, I find myself looking for three simple things (in addition to great Lutheran theology).
- an activity that gets the students up out of their seats.
- an activity that gets the students talking to one another.
- an activity that lets the students express their faith in words or actions.
It's not rocket science. Activities like these will improve student attitudes and behavior. They will grow as God's children.
What do you look for in the lessons you teach?
God bless you as you teach His children His Word!
