Teach Others Also by Christine Smelser
Teaching children God's Word is one of the greatest privileges in the church. It's also hard to do well without help.
Teach Others Also: A Bible Class Teacher's Workbook by Christine Smelser equips the people who teach our children.
How This Book Helps
Many congregations hand a new teacher a quarterly and a classroom and hope for the best. Even experienced teachers can run short on ideas, struggle with a restless room, or wonder whether the lesson is actually sinking in.
This workbook walks teachers through the whole job, from preparing a lesson to telling the story so it comes alive, keeping children engaged, and handling behavior with love and consistency. It's grounded in passages like Ezra 7:10, Deuteronomy 6:7, and 2 Timothy 2:2, so it serves both as a training manual and as an encouragement to keep at the work.
What's Inside
- Step-by-step guidance for preparing and planning lessons
- Tips for telling Bible stories with visuals and good storytelling
- Classroom activities, crafts, and games that reinforce the lesson
- Practical advice for managing behavior with love and consistency
- Age-specific insights for toddlers through preteens
