Things You'll Need:
- Engaging activities
-
Step 1
Most Sunday School teachers are volunteers who teach Bible lessons because they want to. Of course, teaching preschoolers can be hectic, as their little bodies want to move all around, especially when you want them to sit still.
-
Step 2
The key to teaching preschoolers in Sunday School is movement and activity. Consider setting up centers where children will move from station to station and experience their Bible lesson, instead of just hearing it.
-
Step 3
It's easy to take a story from your curriculum and turn it into a journey by using objects that preschoolers can touch and feel. Some popular curricula actually have sensory kits that will allow you to do just that. But with some imagination, you can do the same thing yourself by reading through the stories ahead of time.
-
Step 4
Limit the amount of toys that you have in your Sunday School room. These can be a distraction for children that keep them from hearing the lesson. Instead, consider replacing random toys with things such as a Noah's Ark to play with, and other toys that depict Bible stories, but limit those, too.
-
Step 5
Make sure that crafts and games are age-appropriate. Preschoolers will lose interest fast, if they do not understand your instructions about how to put something together or play something the right way. On the other hand, something they understand and enjoy will keep them begging you to do more.
