It can be increasingly difficult to create engaging Sunday school lessons for young children. While there are so many great Bible stories to learn about, it can be hard for a classroom of children to focus on traditional Sunday School lessons. Instead of wearing yourself out, try using scripture-based entertainment. Movies can tell Bible stories in a way that captures your students’ attention and sticks with them year-round.
Here are some of the best for your next class.
