Sunday Meeting Note Sheet for Kids
My 9-year-old was having trouble listening on Sunday. There was plenty for him to hear, but he didn't know how to take it in. And of course sitting still and only listening is difficult for kids.
So I created this note sheet for him to write things down. For a while it was a little more like busy work, just writing down the verse references and important words. However, after a while, he had learned to focus on the words that were being said. He was following along in his Bible without being told. He was asking about words he didn't understand. He especially loved drawing cartoons on the back too.
The most important part is interacting with your child. Make sure that you respond to your child's questions. Help them define words that they don't know. This can happen during the service, on the way home, during Sunday dinner, or whenever you would like. Without interacting with your child about the content from the meetings, it will all seem pointless. Try to have good conversations about what you learned. You will be surprised by what they may have misunderstood or how deep their questions go. Get them thinking about applying what they heard as well.
Feel free to print these out for your children or others in your church. Also, you may share it on your blog or on social media, as long as you include a link to this page.
