NO BORING LESSONS'
COME FOLLOW ME FOR SUNDAY SCHOOL AND PRIMARY IDEAS FOR

Matthew 4; Luke 4–5

The Spirit of the Lord is Upon Me

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 teacchers, time your lesson carefully. It will be easy to get carried away talking about temptation and fill your entire class period. If you are combining this lesson with another week's lesson, carefully plan how much time you will spend on each topic, but balance the need to cover multiple subjects with the student's need to discuss the topic. If you sense that no new material is being added to the discussion, thank the class for their participation and express gratitude for it, but don't be afraid to move on.

You can use these ready-made mini lessons to teach all or a portion of a lesson. A Sunday School teacher has 50 minutes to teach and can often use more than one mini lesson. 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.
