OBJECT LESSONS ....

The concept of an object lesson is very simple; to visually communicate a single thought or idea in such a way that it is remembered.  The object lesson becomes a memory "anchor" for what you want the kids to remember. Simple or complicated, the object lesson is a tool to reinforce the lesson. A few simple do's and don'ts can make all the difference in the impact of an object lesson.

Now available on DVD - a full teaching on the development and use of Object Lessons.   Order your copy today.  See our SCHOOL OF MINISTRY page for details.

1. Don't preach to the kids!  The goal is to convey a single thought at one time and to reinforce that idea with the object lesson.   Don't deliver a sermon!
2. Use plain language.  Don't use King James English, "christianize" or any form of religious language, but use everyday words, simple words to get your point across.
3. Introduce the object first (not last) and then use it as the reference point for your presentation.
4. Stick to the one thought/idea/concept only.    The way our program is constructed allows for other inter-twining thoughts to be presented in their own right.  Don't deliver the entire program with one lesson.
5. Use everyday items to communicate everyday truths.
6. Make the object as big and visible as possible.

There are three factors we often forget about when it comes to Object Lessons:

1. The Weather
2. Culture
3. Yourself.

Watch the discussion from our Object Lessons DVD on the forgotten factor: The Weather.

Developing Object Lessons

Object Lessons are the easiest thing, yet probably the hardest thing to put together.   Whilst ideas abound, finding the right idea and the right object to communicate it is difficult.

Here a couple of simple steps to developing object lessons:

1. What is the overall theme/message of the entire lesson?
2. What are the (as we do it, three) points you want to get across?
3. What can best communicate each single point?

A browse through the various lessons available through the CURRICULUM page will demonstrate how objects are matched to ideas to themes.
