Tips for teaching children:

• The Mission Bible Class website shows how to use teaching methods that are well suited for teaching children. The following links would work well with the Lord's Prayer lesson.
  • Teach the children a new way to pray. Choose a prayer method from the Mission Bible Class website.
  • Choose one of these Memory Verse Activities and use it to help children memorise the Lord's Prayer.

Tips for teaching adults:

• Listen to the song, “The Lord’s Prayer” here. Challenge the class to learn this song
• Memorise the Lord’s Prayer (verse 13 can be optional – you as the teacher can decide). Take turns reciting the Lord’s Prayer as a whole, then line by line, with each person reciting the next line.
• Ask the class: “Which petition is the most difficult for you and why?” and spend some time discussing this.
• End the class with this prayer, saying it together.
