Teaching Tip of the Week

An easy example: The Feeding of the Five Thousand.

Tell (hearing) the story using a visualized lesson (seeing.) Bring some freshly baked rolls (smell) for the children to handle (touch) and eat (taste) at the appropriate time during the lesson. Perhaps you could even play a recording of the seashore in the background to remind them of the setting.

Use your imagination to come up with ways to incorporate as many of the children's senses in the lesson as you can. It will make the lesson more a part of the child's experience and much more memorable. But don't forget to include personal application rather than just the facts of the lesson and experience.
