Classroom Structure:
Large Group and Small Groups
The curriculum “Living Inside Out” works with our
current homeroom and classroom structure. The
Large Group is done during homeroom in the
Coliseum with all the children. Small Group is
classroom time when the children are divided by age.
The Large Group activities cover the theme for the
day’s lesson, and will include an object lesson, a skit
or DVD clip, and a game.
The benefit of having a Large Group activity is so that
younger children can observe the older children, who
inadvertently act as mentors. The Large Group
activity also offers continuity and cohesiveness.
Large Group Activities…

Large Group Activities will be divided so
that each teacher will have a part to

There are a couple of things provided to
make teaching and leading your class
easier.
Behavior Traffic Light
Each student is given a laminated car
with their name on it (extras are in the
drawer for guests and new members)
At the beginning of class, everyone is
clipped onto the GREEN light, meaning
their behavior is good.
If they are being disruptive, you may
clip their car onto the YELLOW light. If
they improve their behavior, they can
be moved to the GREEN light again.
If they continue to be disruptive, you
may clip their car onto the RED light.
**Students who are in the GREEN at
the end of class get rewarded with $1
in Bible Bucks for good behavior

chart at the end of the
