Storytelling
An appropriate short talk or story, especially if illustrated in some way, can help children and adults alike connect to your Bible message.
Stories are a very powerful way of teaching children. They have a strong desire to belong to family and community and experience belonging by knowing the stories. Stories for this age group need to be simply constructed with a beginning, a middle and an end. They need to be told in simple language and concentrate on people, objects and events rather than abstract ideas and concepts.
