Need a way to get your class discussing the General Conference talk you are assigned to teach this Sunday? Sticky notes are one of my favorite teaching tools. You can hand them out before your lesson starts then gather a bunch of answers as you kick off your lesson. Find the free printable sticky note prompts below.
Save it for later, pin it now!
Printing on sticky notes is lots of fun… as long as you follow the template and instructions. If you find that your sticky notes fold over when printing, simply add some tape to the back of them and try again. There are two templates included in the download. You’ll have to do some experimenting to see which one you printer likes best.
Use the six sticky note prompts to help your class get into the right frame of mind as you teach. Sometimes we get stuck thinking just about the talk- not the principles behind the talk. Use some of these notes to dig a little deeper. Use them to help you find scripture stories that can reenforce the point, ways we can act on the principles, and questions to ponder before you ask them.
Ways to Use the Sticky Notes
Not quite sure how to incorporate them into your teaching style? Try one of these ideas:
Hand them out before class starts to give people time to fill them out before you get started. Collect them all at the beginning of your lesson (you can make groups on the whiteboard for where to stick them) and start with one pile when you are ready.
Pass out different questions to ponder before your lesson so people have plenty of time to ponder it before you ask.
Break up into groups using one of the sticky notes as the prompt for each group.
Use them as a way to warm up the class. Pass out different notes and give people a few minutes to fill them in. Don’t collect them or anything. Just let it be a little warm-up for your lesson.
P.S. These teaching prompts are also great for personal study. Fill out one sticky note each time you read a talk. It’s a great way to ponder a little longer on the words of the Lord’s servants.
