Children and teachers in larger congregations benefit from a change of pace and setting. Here are some ideas to start your creative juices for new ways to do Sunday school from December to June. Rotation Approach . Each teacher will prepare one session for a broadly-aged group of children. During the course of the quarter, each group rotates to each classroom.
Teachers have only one preparation and repeat it until all the groups have participated.
Interest Center Approach . Set up each classroom for a particular learning activity, e.g., arts, media, drama, writing based on the session. The children will gather in assembly for singing and the Bible story, then participate in one interest center for a response activity. Teachers have only the response activity to prepare each week. Invite good storytellers and musicians to lead the assembly time.
