WELCOME!

We are so thankful that you are teaching the Give, Save & Spend- Teen Video Series. The Lord has used the principles you are about to teach to help and encourage teenagers from every walk of life.

Let's get started by looking at the layout of the Teacher's Guide.

There are six lessons that accompany this study and each lesson has the flexibility to be done in a time frame of 40 minutes to 75 minutes. We encourage lessons to be done on a weekly basis. Each lesson in the Teacher's Workbook has three components:

1. Teacher's Agenda

The Teacher's Agenda is a recommended agenda for teaching each week's lesson. We have left time frames out to give you the flexibility to conduct the class in your allotted time. It includes the following:

1. Open the class in prayer.

2. Let's Review (except for Lesson 1).

3. Play the teaching video (this video can be adjusted to be full screen and each video is approximately 10 minutes long).

4. Group discussion questions (based on the video).

5. In class and/or homework assignments.

6. Take prayer requests and close in prayer.

2. Class Presentation Mode

For each lesson, there is a section to be used for in-class presentations. It includes the following:

1. Let's Review Section (for lessons 2-6).

This is used to briefly review the previous lesson and ask students what their action steps from the previous lesson are.

2. Classroom Video

This is the teaching video that is used to set up the group discussion questions. Each video is approximately 10 minutes long and can be put into full-screen mode for classroom viewing.

3. Discussion Questions

There are 6-8 questions to be discussed, as a group, following the video.

4. Explanation of Homework or In-Class Assignments

These are assignments for students to do on their own. This can be done after the group discussion in class, as a homework assignment, or both. The assignments include the following:

Dig Deeper- Bible study assignment- usually 13-20 questions.

Let's Get Practical- practical applications to apply what students are learning.

Memory Verses- verse (or verses) for students to memorise for that lesson.

Definitions- financial terms for students to learn for that lesson.

Take Action- gives students an opportunity to think about how they will tangibly apply what they learned from the lesson.

Jungle Crossing- an online quiz/game to reinforce what students are learning.

You can go into presentation mode directly from this workbook. Click on the Play/Presentation tab at the top left of the workbook page:
