Lesson Manuals

I teach Sunday School class to children who are 4 and 5.

Today, I am grateful for lesson manuals as they outline what to teach and give you ideas for activities.

I can prepare activities, lessons, handouts, posters, ... that are suggested in the manual. I would have a hard time coming up with my own ideas though, especially because I have not worked with this age group in a very, very long time.

In these past few years, I have worked (both at school and church) with children that are at least 10 years old and up to 19.... I can handle these ages. I believe it is easier to teach them because they can read.

The 4 and 5 years old, however, cannot read. This makes things a bit more difficult for me. And I am not an artist. I can draw stick figures; I can trace pictures; I love to color the drawings; but I cannot free draw!

So, manuals are a life saver in my situation and I am extremely grateful for them!
