I posted a video on Youtube demonstrating how to Use the Bible to teach a Sunday School lesson. The lesson I demonstrated was on Gideon. It comes from Judges 6 and 7.

I actually taught this lesson last Sunday. For preschoolers, I pick out one “sticky phrase.” That’s a phrase I have the kids repeat – usually with an accompanying hand motion or movement – to help the story stick. For this lesson, my sticky phrase was, “Too Many.”
I usually tell the story while kids this age are seated at the table eating snack. They are usually all quiet while they are eating and all the kids usually choose to come to the table for a snack. Our snacks usually consist of Goldfish crackers and lemonade or water.
When using the Bible to teach a lesson, pick out certain verses. Read small chunks and then stop and explain.
I feel it’s important for kids to see that the Bible is a special book. I encourage, even our preschoolers, to bring their Bibles. I have a stack of tiny NT Bibles for our Two year old’s to hold while I’m telling the story. I want to establish early on that the Bible contains cool stories that are true. I believe this is important in order to plant seeds that help kids develop a love for God’s Word.
Hope this demonstration helps!
