HURRY: LAST MINUTE IDEAS FOR TEACHING SUNDAY SCHOOL:
(By Bettyanne Bruin)
First: Read the lesson manual carefully, prayerfully consider the contents and teach the class accordingly.
Second: Re-teach a lesson you gave thirty years ago when the Brady Bunch were in.
Third: Read an article from the Ensign and try to “humbly” summarize its message.
Fourth: Invite a visitor to come in and speak, impromptu, about a certain Gospel subject -- usually a good friend, neighbor, spouse or a child -- preferably someone who's Mormon.
Fifth: Do a Google search on "Successful LDS Sunday School Lessons" on the internet and find something that has worked in other Wards.
Sixth: Tell the class that today is discussion day, toss out a topic and pray it doesn’t lead to an apostate subject.
Seventh: Tell a class member that you suddenly feel inspired to have him or her teach your class.
Eighth: Write the missionaries.
Ninth: Play hang man over and over and over again, avoiding, for as long as you can, the raised hand of the person who knows the answer.
Tenth: If all else fails... call in with a sudden emergency.
