How To Make A Childrens Bible Lesson- Elementary Age
1-Open with prayer-Remember to be firm with this the children are speaking to God.
They must have a respectful attitude. Encourage children to participate. Either you
can open and ask children if any one has any prayer requests and let them pray or you
can ask a child that you know who would be comfortable in opening to pray.

(We strongly encourage children to bring their bibles from home to read in class. This trains the child to read a bible, it teaches the children the bible, where the books are and helps them to be comfortable in reading the bible. It encourages a daily bible reading discipline. The bible is theirs. It is a love letter from God to them!)
