60 Second: Better Lesson Conclusions
Jun
60 Second Hint/Help: Better Lesson Conclusions and Wrap Ups/. The end of your lesson is the launchpad, not just a landing. Want it to stick? Here’s how to finish strong:
1. Recap with Clarity. Bring it full circle. Remind students of the main point in one clear, memorable line.
2. Call for Response. Don’t just ask “What did you learn?” Ask, “What will you do with this?” Give them a step to take.
3. Make Space for God. Allow time for quiet reflection, prayer, or journaling. Sometimes the Spirit speaks after you stop talking.
4. Keep It Focused. Resist the urge to add more ideas. A powerful close is clear, concise, and compelling.
5. Connect to Life. Help students imagine Monday. “How could this change the way you respond at school? At home?”
Pro Tip: End with purpose, not just prayer. Great conclusions help students carry the truth into their everyday lives.
