Back-to-School Children’s Message: Homework

Say: It’s time for school again! Who’s excited to go back to school?

I have homework for you today. I want you to find out what it takes to be a good student. And our congregation members are going to be your teachers.

On “go,” ask someone in the congregation these two questions:

• What was your favorite part of school?
• And what’s one secret to being a good student?

After you ask these two questions, return to me.

Repeat the questions and send kids off.

When kids return, ask them to tell what they learned. Ask:

• Did you have to work hard on this homework? Why or why not?
• Is school hard work? Why or why not?
• What’s one thing you’ve heard today that you can do to be a better student?

Say: Let’s see what God says about how we can learn and be smart. Read Proverbs 1:5. God wants us to be good students.

Let’s pray. God, thank you for giving us schools and teachers where we can learn and grow smarter. Amen.
