Sunday School help

I've been frantically working for the last two weeks to keep up with our weekly chapels. One of my main duties here is to write all of the lessons for chapel. Sounds easy right? Did I mention that there are 5 sections of chapel lessons for each week? Take my word, it's not easy stuff. However, I found a pretty cool website recently that has helped me to be more innovative with our lessons.

In Uganda, it pretty much doesn't matter what age you are. You'll have a teacher who just stands in the front and talks. Imagine being a child in such a Sunday School class. Doesn't sound too exciting does it. So I've been trying to help them be more creative. Use demonstrations to help bring a lesson to life. Use activities that are interactive. Unfortunately for us, our resources are limited. We can't afford to give every child a copy of every thing we are doing so we have to be more creative. However, it's been fun to participate with these teachers and show them a different style of teaching. That they can present a simple lesson and really try to nail it down for these kids instead of trying to teach them what most adults struggle to understand.

My request is this. Many of you have worked or are working with children or youth. Do you have any good activities or demonstrations that we can use out here to enhance lessons? Don't worry about the lessons we are teaching, but anything that brings something to life will help us. Thanks and bless you all.
