Motivating Grade School Children to Learn

Do you want your grade school students to want to learn the Bible? Then you need to get them actively involved in the process.

ACTIVITYIf gradeschoolers are expected to merely sit and listen, they will not be motivated to learn. Bored or frustrated children tend to find their own means of activity which usually leads to discipline issues and no learning.

This article is included as a handout in the Reaching All Age Levels Resource with some brief suggestions on how to motivate grade school children based on this need. The resource also includes similar articles for the other age groups. It provides you with a teacher training group session in which you gather teachers of all age groups for a PowerPoint presentation followed by breakout sessions to personalize it according to age levels.
