1. Be creative
2. Meditate on
the text and the key thought in it days in advance
3. Pretend
that you are a kid yourself, get on their level, literally sit on the floor
with them
4. Proclaim
the gospel, don’t moralise, make God the doer of the sentence. Tell them what
Christ has done for them, don’t ‘should’ on them.
5. Use more
than two of the senses (How can they smell, taste and touch the text?)
6. Allow kids
to kids participate in the text rather than just listen or observe it
7. Get the
kids up doing things, moving their bodies, acting out the biblical story
8. Invite
adults into the experience, encourage the kids to interact with them
9. Make the
most of the seasons and holy days of the church year and your worship space and
furnishings
10. Remember
the primary purpose is to engage the kids with the word not make the adults laugh
