Ministry Tips — Teaching Kids with Different Learning Styles

Minister of Children, Hunter Street Baptist Church, Hoover

People all learn a little differently. The same is true for kids. Whether you serve as a Sunday School teacher, small group leader, music teacher or kids worship speaker, it’s important for us to remember that the kids in front of us all learn a little bit differently. 

Learning styles

With so many foundations being set in place during the elementary years it is vital that we think through not only the material we teach, but also how we teach it.

Some kids need to hear it to learn. Others need to see it. And then there are the kids who need to move and interact with the information for it to stick. 

As you prepare for your kids think through how you present the information and key ideas you want the kids to grasp. Make sure there are elements that appeal to kids who learn visually, those who learn by hearing and the kids that need to move and engage in order to connect. 

As Christians we have the most important message in the entire world. Our desire is to see our kids grasp and understand the truths of the gospel. Let’s be intentional about how we connect kids to the Truth.
