Today I'm joined by Bro. Aaron and we're talking about comedy in Sunday School!

If you've ever been on stage in Sunday school, you know that moment of panic: "I'm not naturally goofy enough for this!" But here's the wonderful secret - making kids laugh doesn't require you to be the class clown or master of silly faces. Children are incredibly perceptive audiences who respond to authentic, committed performances just as much as adults do. While we try to balance comedy, it is still a useful tool to engage kids’ attention. 

Some of what we try to cover:

• Create a Funny Situation Instead of a Joke
• Use Honest Reactions
• Let the Kids Be the Smart Ones
• Play With Status
