Music reinforces learning by tying the two
hemispheres of the brain together. If you
put motions to the songs that anchors it
even more (plus it’s a lot of fun).
Memory Verse

the lesson. Have everyone find it in the Bible. You will
come back to the verse several times. Repeat it and have
them repeat it as a group back to you.
Lesson from God’s Word

refresh everyone’s memory.(There are catch up lessons in
the appendix for those who join weeks or months after
your club stars.) Continue with the amazing story you are
telling. Large group stories and points are in the teachers
book. Use good story telling techniques and the charts or
pictures as provided. Keep the story age appropriate.
Example: Sodom and Gomorrah, David and Bathsheba.
