Eliminating Competition In The Sunday School

Competition is so much a part of every child and youth’s life in school, sports and in many other ways. But, Sunday school is not the place for competition. The Christian faith is not a competition with fellow Christians; as Christians we are all "winners!" We should work to eliminate the competition to be "first" or "best." Games and other activities should encourage all children and help them grow in their faith and their daily walk with Jesus, not to compete with others "to be the best."
