When a child enters your children’s ministry space, do you ever wonder what it is they’re needing? Several teachers have come up with an ingenious way to give children an opportunity to say a lot without speaking a word. All they have to do is point!
Post this by your door
Stand at the entrance
Ask each child to point to their greeting of choice
Show them some love!
This simple exercise shows children that they matter, that you see them as individuals, and that they are entering a space filled with people who care about who they are and what they need.
This is also a fantastic way to include children who may be nonverbal due to a language barrier or disability.
We invite you to try this out in your children’s ministry and let us know how it goes! We can’t wait to hear from you.
For those who really want to take it to the next level, check this guy out!
