Tips for using Stories.

  • Don’t tell a story without practice.
  • Do not analyze the story. Let the story speak for itself.
  • Don’t make it a sermon. Stories enhance sermons; sermons do not enhance stories.
  • Keep it vivid. Use words that paint mental pictures.
  • Make sure it is appropriate. Age group and context are important considerations.
  • Visualize the story. Rather than memorize, visualize. See the story in your mind’s eye.
  • Consider student vocabulary level.
  • Beware of tangents. tangents tend to confuse.
  • Avoid too many details. Excessive detail also tends to confuse.
  • Don’t show and tell. Use props sparingly Let your words do the communicating.
  • Resist asking for feedback. Let the story simmer in your listeners’ minds.
  • Do not illustrate a story. Stories within stories may work in writing but not in teaching.
