Main Lesson
After you introduce the lesson, move on to the Bible story. Please look up the Bible reference to find the full Bible story, as it is not fully printed in this manual. After learning the Bible story, make sure to cover the main lesson with the application to life. At the end of the lesson, read the memory verse and pray with your students.
Student books
Pass out the student books or photocopies of each lesson page. Help students that are struggling with the puzzles, because Sunday school books should not be difficult, but fun. You can also have students glue things on their pages. For younger students, objects can decorate their coloring page, like rice, cotton balls, noodles, or paint. For older students, their books can be like diaries, gluing on metro tickets, pennies, pocket fluff or other objects that remind them of the homework assignment.
Homework assignments
None of us will become a champion from attending church or memorizing the Bible, but from LIVING it! Encourage your students to LIVE the Bible with these specific homework assignments.
See more information on the "In the Ring" page.
Memory Verse Game
The games in this program are all for learning the memory verse of the week. Use the games provided, or allow your students to choose their favorite game to play each week. Prepare ahead of time anything you made need for the game.
Questions and Answers (for older students)
There are three questions provided in each lesson in order to provoke a discussion with your students. They are for the adolescents (ages 13-15), but you may try them with other ages to see if they spark a debate. The idea is to make your students think. In order for this to work, it is very important that you do not give them the answers right away. The more they fight about a topic, the more they are thinking, and the better you are doing as a teacher. If they get into a real verbal argument regarding one of the topics, you are doing great! If your students settle on one side of an argument quickly, try to bring up the other side and get them thinking and talking.
Match Cards
Pass out the attendance reward, a card with the week's match fight on it. Encourage your students to attend all year, and collect all the cards! These cards are available to download and print very economically. You can also use the cards to play a memory game, matching the assignments to each sin.
