Sunday school in a tin 1 (Year C)

No planning, no preparation, no photocopying or collection of lids or yoghurt pots - once you have filled your tin or box with a few inexpensive and easy to find resources you will be set up for the rest of the year. For each Sunday there is a story, based on the lectionary readings, a game, something to make using what you already have in your tin, and a child-friendly prayer.

The ideas are flexible so that they can be used with children of different ages, and with different sized groups. This is useful if the number of children at church fluctuates from week to week, or if there are families who only come to church from time to time. It's also great for busy people who don't have time to plan for or prepare activities for the children in church but see a need for something that makes church more fun and engaging for the youngest members of the congregation.
