Reviewing Bible Lessons
When teaching your youth ministry new material and you are presenting to them material that they are not aware of or familiar with it is important to review the material a few times so that the lessons that you are trying to teach them stick in their brain. When you are teaching your students a new Bible lesson it is important to remember that you may know the material very well but for your students it might be the first time they are hearing it. With that in mind here are a few ways that you can review the material that you have gone over with your students so that they better understand it and will remember it for the future.
One way to review material that you have just taught your students is to incorporate it into a game. If you have just taught your students about a new material take the characters and the situations from the stories and build a word game around them. A great way to do this is to prepare a crossword puzzle using that character names the city is that the events took place in and from where in the Bible your Bible lesson centered around.
Another great way to Bible lessons and material that you have just talked to students is to play act scenes from the stories that you have just gone over. By allowing your students to become part of the story they can better relate to the characters and they can put themselves into the story by playing a part for themselves and also their classmates. This is a great way to review any material that you have just gone over, and it allows your students to get up and move about after a lesson. When you are playacting make sure that every one of your students has the ability to volunteer and participate in the activity.
One of the strongest ways to make sure that you can review the material that you have just gone over is by having a group discussion or group debate centered on the Bible lessons. You can do this in a number of different ways. First if you are covering a topic that is somewhat controversial, have a set of predetermined questions to be debated and split the class up into two groups. Assign each group to represent opposing answers to the questions. By having a group debate on the Bible lessons that you’ve just taught you are encouraging the students to think more deeply about the topics and you are allowing your students to voice their opinions and their views on what has just been taught. Some topics will spark fiery debate between the two groups, but always remember to encourage her students to be respectful of each other and to respect each other’s opinions.
Reviewing Bible lessons after you’ve taught them is a strong way to make sure that your students are on the same page and they have understood the message that you were trying to deliver to them. So it the end of each class leave some time for it some sort of review and have some fun with your youth ministry.
