Teaching children to walk in God’s footsteps is priceless. This is a time when their minds absorb everything just like a sponge. I’m glad that my daughter at her early age, she is actively participating Sunday School for children every Sunday service here in our church. At this stage, a child like her can make religious learning an engaging and memorable experience through the use of visual aids, dramatic exercises, music and crafts.

I think the most effective teaching method depends on the children in the class. Some children can listen and learn. Others learn by doing. Some learn well on their own. Others need the interaction of a group but by using a variety of methods may be the best approach. Some of the following teaching techniques includes teaching Biblical times outside since children love the outdoors.Using art is also one of the things that children would love to express themselves where they can draw a picture showing what they learned or they can color a coloring page or write the Memory Verse on papyrus paper using ink and a stick.

My sister in law who teaches Sunday school here in our church also encourages the children to learn how to pray before and after they begin their Bible lesson. This could help them become more accustomed to praying in public and also to aid them to pray privately when we teach them to praise God, thank God and make our requests to God. As they learn the discipline and joy of prayer early in life,it has been our prayer that as they serve the Most High God they would continue to be a faithful prayer warriors.

Teaching Sunday School to kids is important because we are not only teaching them just to produce learning but to lead them to Christ. The children should be taught the things of the Lord while they are still young so that when they are old, they will not depart from it.Children have the capacity to believe in God and should be taught about Jesus Christ and His love. Because every man including the children was born a sinner, he needs to be taught how to be saved from the penalty of sin.This ought to be a responsibility of every parent to their children. But the Sunday School teacher’s goal is to support the family in this endeavor to lead a child to Jesus Christ.
