  tell them stories about the old testament as much as you can. At their age they only accept stories so don't focus much on the new testament. At theri age i enjoyed stoies like moses, elijah, Daviv, Samson. Stories like teh good samaritan.
  Good luck.

  Give them the story of Noah, Abraham, David. U know, stories u got taught when you were at that age.
  
  Also give them songs like, father Abraham had many sons..................
  
  Make them do plays that are fun of the above stories, they really like these things and always give them a reward at the end of the lesson.

  well the old testament stories are the ones for you
  acting them in a play will do much help
  tell them with enthusiasm expression on your face
  before all pray before you teach
  may god be with you

  ya coptic88, entah betekalem ezay yabny? coptic88, are you aware that there is a coptic orthodox sunday school curriculum that is used by ALL COC around the world??
  if you are going to give sunday school, you are going to have to follow the curriculum. the curriculum will provide you with the lesson, objectives, how to introduce the lesson, activities that you can use with the lesson, and everything you need to know and do. i've provided the link that has the Second Grade Curriculum for all COC.

  old testament is great..i agree cuase like at that age they will love thsese kinda stories, they will stik with them and lastly when they grow up, they dont get the chancece to be taught these kind of stories
  
  i saw before that with elisha, when he multiplied the oil n flour (that story) can be a fun practiscal one, where they got flour n oil n mixed it WHILST learning of the lesson..i personally think its a great idea
  
  also , when i once had a sunday skool class, we had discussions about our prayer, confession, communion
  
  and we triend learning the coptic months..
  
  dont foget at this age, its really easy to get them learning things with songs n stuff

  thanx everyone for your ideas....they've helped a lot...
  Filobateer, thanx, i am quite aware of the Coptic orthodox Sunday school curriculum, i do own a sunday school programme, so does every other sunday school teacher? i was just seeking advice from others on EXTRA activities that the children will enjoy and will find exciting and hence put there full attention into the lesson. The programme only contains:
  
  1) Aim
  2)Verse
  3)Hymn
  4)Means of illustration
  5)Questions
  6)Activity.... Which are for eg things like, pray three times a day...
  
  the purpose of this thread was to gain ideas about things that kids will enjoy doing in Sunday school like games, coloring and quizzes which hopefully will make them love Sunday school and the lessons taught and make them come every week. Thanks
  
  by the way, i'm a female.
  
  God Bless
