welcome to wright ideas with Susan today I'm gonna share with you what I do
on the very first lesson of every year and you know what there might be some
ideas here that could be good for your first lesson -
one thing that I've learned over many years of teaching is that if I start into content and
curriculum too soon guess what happens the kids just shut down they tune out
and so my first lesson or two is really has very little curriculum very little
content but it's all about getting to know them it's all about that and we
know that if kids don't feel that you care about them they're really not gonna
listen to you down the track are they? so I've designed a 30 minute lesson that's
just really short and sharp and you might have a lot longer than 30 minutes
and you can Pad it out however you want but I just wanted to take time to get to
know the kids so what I would do that's the very first lesson I'd go into the
room introduce myself I'd like to write my name on the board if there's a board
there and the other thing that I always do in that first lesson in every lesson
is I smile a lot I smile so much I practice smiling really and so basically
I say good morning kids I am so glad to be here with you and then I go but
before we get into our lesson guess what I bet you some of you have had a
birthday over the summer break and sure enough hands go up in the room inside
oh come on up the front so I get them to come up the front and I have a birthday
bag for them to choose from and now if you want to see how I do that just check
out my video clip on the birthday bag so I start the lesson with something where I'm
thinking about them thinking about their birthday and then what I like to do
after that is I like to write something on the board and I like to use box
letters because box letters really gets kids in and I've done a whole playlist
on that if you want to learn how to do it so what I do is I write the name
of our program in box letters on the board and I tell them all I've got some
magic box letters that I'm gonna teach you how to do and I want to either see
what we're gonna be talking about today and so basically I put the initials for
the program and what I'm putting here is one of the programs I help with it's
called KC's kids church you might have different letters or a different name
you might have kids club or whatever and do the whole thing in box letters and
then I say to the kids and I look at I know KC's huh what do you think we're
gonna do this year in KC's? and then they begin raising their hand telling me the
sorts of things that they think that we're gonna get into so I list them all
up on the board as they tell me so you'll come up with the list and you'll
go oh wow that sounds like a lot of fun we're gonna have fun this year aren't we? and
you know what I have come up with a lot of those same ideas but I have put them
inside this bag here is there anyone out there that like to come and look in my
bag and have an idea of what my ideas of what we're gonna do this year is going
to happen so of course everybody wants to come up and look in the bag and so I
get them to one by one pull up the ideas that I've written in my bag so I put
them up and just a little bit of talk about them that sort of thing and I go
oh well we came up with same ideas do we look at this we're talking about but fun
do you guys like to have fun yes okay fun and yes you put songs and then I do
things that we've taught the same talk about Jesus games that sort of thing and
but the thing about this is don't put ideas in your bag if you don't plan on
doing them there are too many people that over-promise and under-deliver
so make sure your ideas are things that you plan on doing now sometimes you'll
get a kid come up with an idea that you've never done before and you'll say
oh I've never done drama before do you think you guys could help me to
learn how to do that this year and the kids will be like yes we'll help you do
drama that sort of thing so you want
to go with a little bit of what their ideas are as well
and then I say Oh next you know what we're gonna do we're gonna do one of
these things I'd like to teach you a verse from the Bible it's an ancient
ancient verse and so what I do is I then teach them Jeremiah 29:11 and this
becomes our verse for the year and I've done a clip on that so make sure you
check it out I'd do it through echoing so I teach them this first through
echoing and then it the rest of the year this is actually how we start our lesson
every single week I just start by doing this little verse by echoing
and then it keeps going and they learn that verse so that becomes the first activity and and I
said you know what there's something else we want to do I want to do another
one of our ideas that we have up here I want to pray for you guys is that okay
if I pray for you and now yes okay could everyone just close your eyes for a
second and I'm just gonna say a little prayer and you just listen while I pray
so I'll say a little prayer like thank you God for this great class I feel so
welcomed and thank you for the other teachers and leaders I ask for your
guidance your blessing your protection on everyone in this class I know you
have good plans for each and every one of us amen
so I just pray a simple prayer we also include the verse a little bit in
that as well and then I said oh there's something else I want to do oh let's see
I want to play a game is that okay because you're like yeah okay I need a
few people for this game and then I play the q5 game now I've done a clip on
that so make sure you check it out we're using these little boards and it's a
getting to know your game game it's another game idea as well but if you
don't want to do that I've also put and idea for a game in this lesson plan and
it's basically a little preference this game and so you have two things and the
kids either have to stand or sit on the topic or idea that they prefer so let's
say everybody who loves vanilla I want you to stand up and if you prefer
chocolate I want you to stay seated and then you look at the class and go
there's a lot of people who like chocolate you know or who prefers
rather go swimming stand up who would rather go running and then you look at
that Oh a lot of swimmers here alot of runners here or another one is if
you'd rather go to school stay seated if you'd rather go the dentist stand up
that sort of things so I've got a whole list of things that you can play so it
gets the kids up and down and you can make comments and you can also learn a
little bit about them just by doing this simple game so if you don't want to do Q5
you can do this little game it's in the lesson plan as well and so then
after that I have an info sheet that I give out and this is really good for me
to get a class roll and kind of get their names but it also gives me an idea
of some of their likes and dislike some things about them and I've done a
clip on these sheets so make sure you check that out and It'll explain how I
use these little information sheet at the beginning of the year so check it
out and after they hand that back in if there is time I'd like to do a song but
if there isn't time then we finish up but one of the songs that I like to use
at the beginning of the year is a song by Colin buchanan 10, 9 8
It's great for all ages all ages enjoy this so that if I have time I'll go ahead and do that or I
might even just go back and might review the verse that would be did at the
beginning of lesson and then at that point if we do that I would just say a
simple little prayer and then I would say a little farewell I had a lovely
time thank you for making me feel so welcome
see you guys next week and that would be in it so there is an
idea of how you can do a simple pretty easy introduction lesson so that you're
sharing with the kids that you are interested in them okay and you're
giving them a little bit of a heads up of what to expect for this year in class
which is really important kids you know they don't really know you
when you first turned up and so it's good for them to get an idea of what
you're gonna be doing during the year and my biggest tip here is make sure you
don't put too much in your very first lesson or you'll be rushed okay that's
why there's a bit of flexibility whether you want to do a song whether you want
to do a verse the other thing that some of you may do as well you might have
give out an activity book or something that goes with your lessons I also
I tend to do it the second week where I give them the book and then they
have a nametag that they make or fill out or I have a nametag for them
and I've got a clip on nametags on how you do that as well so if you have any
sort of materials that you give out you might have time to do that as well in
this lesson or just save it for the next week anyway there's a little explanation
of how I do a simple introduction lesson because kids don't care how much we know
they only care how much we care so if you like this idea can you give it a
thumbs up and maybe share the idea with someone else who's doing his ministry
and if you'd like more simple ideas especially for the beginning of the year
I have got a whole playlist of beginning of the year ideas that can help you get
organized you can give you more ideas for your first lessons and
and if you haven't subscribed yet go ahead and subscribe it's free and you'll
just get a notification whenever I put up a new clip oh the other thing
oh my lesson plan and some of my posters all this sort of stuff I'm going to be
putting on my website I've got a website now and I'm still trying to figure out
how to do that downloading thing but I will get it up there put everything in
the description so check out the description for those links and
hopefully I'll get that up for you soon and work it out thanks so much for
watching and we'll catch you the next one...Bye!
