3 Quick "C's" to Upping Your Communication Game with Students Immediately


Want to improve your communication skills with students for next week?

Try implementing these 3 quick tips to up your game immediately:

1. Contact

As in better EYE CONTACT. Start using the 5-second-rule and improve your eye contact. Engage a specific student with 5-seconds of eye contact. Then, break eye contact and connect with a different student in the room.

2. Content

As in strong, BIBLICAL CONTENT. Add in an "illustrated Bible story" next week. Get students up front with you and have them act out the Bible story while you narrate it.

3. Connect

As in CONNECTING THROUGH STORY. Intentionally "tell" your stories next week. Engage the students' five senses in the story. What did it look like, smell like, sound like, feel like and taste like? Use a couple "character voices" in the telling your stories.
