Teacher Tip #1 "Single Point"


Always state the day’s single point sometime during every teaching.  It forces every teaching to be an extension of a single message.  This repetition further solidifies the idea in the kids’ memories.  Including it in every lesson also gives them better understanding of the point as they hear it clearly from several different directions.  It also forces every teacher to relate their lesson to a single unified theme.  Without the single point, we are merely relating a number of segmented lessons and hoping the kids get where we’re coming from.  Children's classes & services differ from the adult service in that the sermon/teaching is not brought by a single person, but by many.  That is why we need the unity of that single point to help us all preach this single truth that we want the kids to bring home.
