When you are regularly teaching a class, at least in our church, you end up gaining, either through study or sheer experience, some techniques about getting to that particular age group.From many years of research, I maintain that cookies work for all ages.
But I was called in suddenly to teach a class of five year olds this past Sunday, and handed the printed lesson, multiple strips of colored construction paper, and a bag of Starbursts.
Without the Starbursts, it might have been nothing but an hour of chaos.But with the Starbursts -- suddenly, in able to 'earn' a treat, I have six little model students.
