"Give Me A Break": Supporting Teachers, Engaging Students
Want to be a real-life hero? Make a difference by giving your teachers a well-deserved break once a week or once a month! This initiative allows students to step up as leaders while creating meaningful learning experiences for younger students.
How It Works
• Plan an Activity – Organize a recess session, a fun educational lesson, or a special themed activity for students.
• Make It Creative – Activities can incorporate games, arts and crafts, interactive storytelling, or even outdoor learning experiences.
• Collaborate With Teachers – Ask teachers how you can best assist them and tailor your activities to complement their lesson plans.
• Build Lasting Connections – Strengthen relationships with students and educators while making a positive impact in your school community.
Examples of Fun & Educational Activities
• Biblical Creation Walk – Set up an interactive seven-day creation journey with props and activities that teach students the biblical truths of Creation. Use visuals, storytelling, and hands-on experiences to make it engaging.
• Mini P.E. Teacher – Assist in teaching physical education by organizing team-building games, relay races, or skill challenges.
• Storytelling & Puppet Shows – Bring Bible stories to life through creative storytelling sessions or puppet performances.
• STEM & Nature Exploration – Plan science experiments, nature walks, or simple engineering challenges that reinforce learning through hands-on activities.
• Character-Building Workshops – Host discussions or activities on values like kindness, teamwork, and perseverance, reinforcing Christian principles.
Why It Matters
By stepping in to give teachers a break, you’re not only helping them—you’re actively shaping young minds, reinforcing biblical principles, and strengthening community bonds. The joy and relationships built through these experiences will leave a lasting impact on both students and educators.
