Why 16? Because, it’s what I came up with. Perhaps this will inspire you for tomorrow’s opportunity to give kids the Word.
Here they are in no particular order:
Pray
Study so you’ll know what you’re talking about
Have a plan. When you don’t – they do.
Make the stories come alive
Meet their level of intensity… and then, go beyond it a bit (or – a lot)
Be animated with your body
Be animated with your words
Be animated with your voice
Make eye-contact
Get kids to respond verbally
Get kids to respond by cheering
Use kid-volunteers to help you
Use visual aids
Teach like Jesus (like one who has authority)
Expect results – ask the kids for a response (See my blog series on Making Time for Response)
Say “thanks” to God for the victory won
