Best Practices for Live Teaching:

  • Utilize the stage space
  • Use a microphone to bring dynamics and help control the attention of the audience
  • Use voices inflection to match the action happening in the story and various voices to differentiate between characters
  • Bring historical and Biblical context. Start at the beginning of the Bible and work your way through the major stories until you get to where today's lesson starts. For example, if the story is about David, take a few minutes before the story to review what has happened before this."The Bible is all part of one big story. In the beginning, who were the first humans God created? Adam & Eve - Noah - Abraham - Moses - David, etc." This also provides an opportunity to see how much your audience knows about the Bible and helps connect dots. 
  • As much as possible, have a physical Bible in hand to show young concrete thinkers that the true story comes from the Bible. It also encourages kids to discover and explore their own Bible.
  • Encourage audience participation. Ask kids to answer questions, ask for a volunteer or two to do something, encourage a child to read something, etc. Anything you can do to get the kids involved will keep them engaged.
  • Invite your leaders to participate. Whether it's assisting in holding something up or taking part in the game, kids love to see their leaders on stage! It also encourages more involvement in small group time with leaders and their group.
