Tips for Making a Great Children's Sermon

(For Sunday School Teachers)

It Should Be Biblical

It Should Be Interactive

The theology for the Sunday Morning Kids Story doesn't need to be sophisticated but it does need to be Biblical. Keep it simple but keep it scriptural.

Don't preach to the children. 

Involve them in the learning experience.

It Should Be Short

It Should Be Gospel Oriented

Most kids have a very short attention span. Don't let them get bored. Otherwise, the main thing they will learn is that church is boring. I would keep it under 5 minutes. 

If you get too abstract most kids will miss the point. Keep the thought progression simple.

It Should Be Fun

It Should Be "Risk Free"

Ideally the children should look forward to this time in the service.

Protect the kids from being embarrassed in front of the congregation.
