To engage the learners in a study of the Scripture text:
Before doing the preceding activity, have learners gain a broader perspective on the book of Revelation by completing the “The Perfect Number” exercise from the activity page, which you can download here. This is individual work; time limit of one minute. Give a token gift featuring the numeral 7 to learners who get all 14 correct answers.
Another option is to distribute copies of the “How Long?” exercise from the activity page. Assign groups of four to prepare their conclusions for whole-class discussion.
- If all your learners are online, consider using Zoom Breakouts (which you can learn about here).
- If some of your learners are online and others are in the classroom with you, consider breaking the in-person learners into groups together and using Zoom Breakouts for the online learners.
Note: Whenever you distribute copies of anything, use hard-copy (paper) handouts for those physically present and e-copies for those joining online via Zoom, etc.
Tip: For a tutorial on how to use Zoom breakouts, go here. For many other Zoom tutorials, see here. A key to using Zoom effectively without fumbling is to practice ahead of time!
