Last week during worship time little Emma asks me why we have to sing the same songs every week. And honestly? I didn't have a great answer because I'd never really thought about it.

That got me wondering - do kids actually understand what worship means, or do they just think it's the part where we stand up and sing before the real lesson starts?

Today we're talking about helping kids get worship beyond just singing on command - from explaining what "steadfast love" actually means to letting them move their whole bodies to why craft time can become worship time. Plus how my nephew's Pokemon obsession taught me what worship energy should look like.

If you're tired of kids going through the motions during worship and ready to help them understand what it's really about, this one's for you. Fair warning: it might get loud and chaotic, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

For Sunday school teachers, children's worship leaders, and anyone who's realized that kids need worship explained, not just performed.
