Matthew 14–15; Mark 6–7; John 5–6

Never teach another boring lesson!  The ideas below will help you prepare and teach engaging Come Follow Me lessons for Primary and Sunday School.  Each week you'll become a better teacher as you practice helping students focus, share their thoughts, learn new doctrines, and apply what they're learning. 

Jenny's Lesson Tip

Sunday School teachers, the activity listed for John 5: "to help the class discover these insights, try dividing them into groups and giving them a few minutes to list as many truths as they can find in verses 16–47 about the character of God, Jesus Christ, and Their relationship" is an especially good one in my opinion. This type of activity is only good where groups can be in sets of 4 persons or fewer. If I were teaching this, I would use a technique like Everybody Writes or Chalk Talk.

A Primary teacher has just 20 minutes to teach and may only be able to use one mini lesson.  Mini lessons are specific to the topic being taught.
