SonshineLearner Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Hey Everyone :) I offered a while back to teach the first part of Children's Church each Sunday. This will give the children a rhythm to their weeks, as the teachers are different each week. It will also give them continuity to their learning. I offered to teach a catechism question, and a couple of other things, including, if it's not too loud.... Tin Whistles.... Can you believe it? (I may have to rethink that one... it may have been a crazy thought ;) The catechism questions will be based on Dana Dirksen's songs, which are based on Stephen Hildebrandt's Catechism for Young People. I think I'll do one question every 2 weeks?? I may just teach a hymn or something, instead of the tin whistle. (Perhaps teach enough Music to explain how long to hold notes... and how to read them??) Anyway, I was thinking of doing a "Children's Church appetizer" type thing for 15-20 minutes. Has anyone done this, or have any ideas?

vonfirmath Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I know at our church we teach the same memory verse for a whole month -- we found you had to do that in order to assure most kids have a chance to memorize it. We have quite a few kids that only come occasionally -- once a month seems to capture the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 We do memory verse songs. It gives the kids some fun musical exposure as well as the memory in a painless way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
