Guided Conversation Teacher Training Resources
God isn't far away but to children it may seem like He is. Bible teachers can help bridge the distance by using Guided Conversation. Using this method, teachers come alongside and informally talk with a child to accomplish purposeful learning, directing the child's thoughts from his/her current experience or activity to God and His Word.
The two-page Guided Conversation worksheet focuses in on the word "GUIDED", using an acrostic to better understand how to use this method. It then asks questions to reflect on the potential of your conversation guiding students to connect with God.

Jesus' approach differed with the children than how He ministered with adults. He did not gather them round and lecture them. He called them to Himself and blessed them, holding them. Though Scripture does not say Jesus got down on their level and into their world, it does express His delight in and love for them. Jesus does communicate their worth and the need for input into their lives. This 55 page teacher training shows how guided conversation fulfills this purpose.
