“Who/What Am I?” Review Cards
Although I went to Sunday School every week and although I attended my mother’s weekly Bible class, I think “Who Am I?” cards set Bible characters and events in my mind as nothing else did.

How Should I Present the Gospel in My Teaching?
An article in the Nov/Dec 2013 issue of Modern Reformation magazine answers this question with good instruction:
Blows that Break Rock by Starr Meade [Click on author’s name to link to two other excellent articles for teachers and parents in Modern Reformation.]
When you look at a young child—and especially your children or grandchildren—don’t you just ache with the longing for them to have what’s best and to be protected from all that might harm them? So, of course, you long for your children to understand the gospel and to respond to it in faith. While your children’s response to the gospel is completely in the Lord’s hands, he has chosen to use your teaching as faithful parents (as well as the teaching of others) to bring to them the knowledge of the gospel.
So waste no time. You have eighteen years—but you have only eighteen years, and they go by much more quickly than young parents can begin to imagine. Start young! There’s a lot to teach, and we need all the time we can get. Spiritual conversations are intimate conversations and therefore can feel awkward. If we’ve established a habit of talking about these things together when our children are young, it will feel much more natural—to them and to us—as they grow. But how? How do you explain the gospel, with all its complex, interwoven doctrines, to young children? Here are a few “do’s” and “don’ts” to keep in mind.
