1. Preparation – You better be well-prepared when you teach little ones. Every moment counts. Knowing ahead of time where you’re going (your aim) and how you transition from one thing to another makes all the difference. It’s true in sermon-planning as well.Read the rest.
2. Introduction – You must connect with little kids right away or you’ll lose them. The same holds true for adults. Our introduction should make our people say, “Hey, I need to hear this.”
3. Repetition – When teaching preschoolers, you must repeat, repeat, repeat one main point. It’s even better when you can connect an action to your main point (e.g. God is powerful — have everyone flex their muscles!). As pastors we too must strive to preach with one main point and repeat it throughout the sermon.

Be there, done that, agree with that. Actually, never taught pre-school. But I did, after testing, interview and training, sign up as a substitute teacher in local elementary school district. Taught 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th grade one day per week for the year. Still think it was of best things I've done to improve my preaching. More importantly, flock agrees.
