Essentials for the Children's Minstry Teacher

Using craft related materials help with lesson emphasis, scripture verse memorization
and the use of parallelism, that is, using tangible objects to explain spiritual concepts.
For example, if we wanted to explain how a child becomes a light in the World, we could
use a battery and a torch light to graphically articulate this.
We present the battery and the torch light and use a memory verse in Matthew 5:15 to
emphasize how the presence of the Holy Spirit makes a child a light to his world.
8. Assessment
To begin, ask yourself three basic questions:
Where are the children going with the lesson?
How are they going to get there?
How will you know when they have arrived?
Then begin to think about each of the following categories which form the organization
of the plan. While planning, use the questions below to guide you during each stage.
You can use quizzes, tests, or questions or even ask them to develop a craft to
demonstrate their understanding of the lesson.
SAMPLE LESSON PLAN
This sample plan is suitable for pupils in tween classes. Tweens are children aged 8 to 11 years
