Teaching Sunday School is easy...as long as all the kids show up on time, are perfectly behaved, ask easy questions, and don't challenging personalities. Ok...so maybe it's not so easy after all!
Based on my 20+ years of teaching experience here are some tips, tricks, and techniques you can use to make your Sunday School class a fun-filled adventure pointing kids to Jesus.

Teachers Rejoice When They Find Curriculum Like THIS

Teachers like you love when they find curriculum that is written with distracted, rowdy kids in mind. Their weekend stress is poof...GONE! And they still present God's Word in irresistably fun ways every single week.
The Mission of BetterBibleTeachers
We are dedicated to teaching God's Word to kids in crazy interesting ways.
From me, aka: Nathan...
I love teaching kids about God's Word. I regularly teach elementary Sunday School at a Baptist church in San Diego, CA and I love it.
But I'm also disappointed.
I constantly see kids in Sunday School who should be listening to the lesson but instead are squirming in their seats and goofing off with the kids around them. And that's discouraging to me because it happens on a regular basis. At church we are presenting the most valuable information a kid could ever hear. So it MUST be as interesting as possible.
And I'm doing something about this.
I still want to present the life-changing and UNCHANGING truth of God's Word, but I want it to be fun for kids to listen to. I want to tell jokes. I want to reference Taylor Swift or sports or a funny kids movie.
I want kids to never know what's going to happen next on any given Sunday!
I believe God uses the power of His Word to transform lives, and I want to make the presentation of His Word as interesting to kids as humanly possible.
