Break it down like this.

5 - 10 minutes story telling. MAKE SURE you ask them random but easily answerable questions throughout to keep them focused (kids easily loose attention!). This will also let you know if theyt are actually listening. As I said, also try and supplement with pictures so they can follow easily. Kids learn easier through visual aids.

Then afterwards initiate discussion. Make sure you have your questions written and down for yourself as it is easy for you to forget them! Discuss this by maybe going around each member or randomly asking questions. Correct gently as required.

Finally - tell them clearly and explicitly what the underlying meaning of the sakhi is to drive home the point. Be prepared to repeat what you cover.

THEN afterwards: Make them do the colouring in exercise (only younger ones) and maybe ask the older ones to write what they have heard and tell you what they have learnt from it.

Take to opportunity to correct the written work of the older ones in terms of Grammar, spelling etc. This will help them outside the Gurdwara and frankly the standard of English of many Sikh youth makes me blush.

Ask them to name the 10 Gurus. The one who can name the 1st 5 Gurus correctly gets a chocolate. If someone can name all 10 Gurus correctly, he/she gets 2 (make sure you take enough chocolates).

Ask them what is the name of God. Whoever says Waheguru give them another chocolate.

Ask them who is our Guru today. Whoever says Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee, give them another chocolate.

Next time you go for the class after a month, be ready for parents complaining that their kids got bad teeth.

lolll leh we have enough sugar from the parshad and kheer a bit of choc wont do any harm
Now you have an excuse. You can blame the Gurdwara committee by saying that they supplied the chocolates and made the kids have them after all the parshad and kheer, and they were supposed to consume the entire chocolate before leaving the Gurdwara because the committee didn't want the parents to have any of the chocolate.

      Concept of Sin

      By MokhamSingh · Posted

      The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…

      Concept of Sin

      By BhForce · Posted

      I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
