A simple Sunday school lesson plan

1. Welcome (3 minutes). Greet each child and ask how their week went.
2. Opening prayer or song (3 minutes).
3. Story (8 minutes). Tell one of our stories in your own words; show a picture or use simple props.
4. Questions (5 minutes). Use the three questions on the story page; invite every child to answer.
5. Activity (8 minutes). The activity on the story page: drawing, acting or making.
6. Memory verse (2 minutes). Say the verse together, with actions.
7. Closing prayer (1 minute).

For a class with several ages, pair older children with younger ones for the activity. Always follow the child-safety rules of your church, with two adults in the room.

The stories are simple retellings for children and are not a substitute for reading the Bible. Churches teach the stories in different ways; adapt to your own tradition.
