Tips to help you improve your general assembly times.
The opening assembly is usually that fifteen to twenty minutes before all students go to their classrooms or tables for the actual lesson of the week. It’s a “pep rally”, it’s a “glad you’re here” time. This should be one of the most exciting times of each week, not the most boring place they have been all week. However, it’s not just a crazy-loud-fun time absent of any spiritual value. It is an informal teaching time as well.
Understand that some teachers (and all churches have some) are a “zero” for an enjoyable and exciting time. If children go directly into a “zero” class, then it could easily be the most boring place they have been all week from start to finish.
Ideas for an Exciting Assembly Time
Lively Song Time. Use the overhead to display words. Use children’s chorus books, cassettes, or words printed in large letters on a colorful marker aboard. Every week you will have children who do not know the words-and that’s not very exciting for them. Remind all of your workers often, this is not the local nursing home we’re running.
