Christian Class Rules & 6 Supplementary SEL Resources

Communicating Christian class rules plays a significant role in back to school season and throughout the year. Whether you are preparing for back to school season or just wanting to refresh your Christian class rules, download a free set of Christian Class Rules posters!

If you’re like me, you have enthusiasm for organizing your classroom, a passion for systems and structures, and most importantly, you want to honor the Lord in all aspects of your classroom.

Six years ago, I was preparing for back to school in my first teaching job at a Christian University Model School (a hybrid model that is part private Christian school and part homeschool). I had so much excitement for setting up my mobile classroom (we had to pack up our classrooms every day because we rented rooms in a church building). I was driven by organization, systems, and structures. Even more importantly, I wanted a Kingdom vision to influence all everything about my classroom.

You want to be organized, prepared, and ready to advance the Kingdom with your students too! Get ready for back to school or have a mid-year classroom refresh with the Christian class rules resources listed below!

If you are looking for Christian class rules for your school classroom, class rules for Sunday school, Christian classroom management, Children’s church classroom rules, or Sunday school classroom management, keep reading!

Christian Classroom Rules

Christian Class Rule #1

R: Respect people and things

This Christian SEL resource addresses conflict resolution in the classroom. It guides students back to peace with each other when they are experiencing a conflict. Students have the autonomy to resolve conflicts with each other!

There are four pages that guide students through a short and simple conversation to restore peace in their relationship.

Christian Class Rule #2

U: Use your words wisely

This Christian SEL resource addresses seven feelings: mad, grumpy, scared, worried, sad, surprised, and happy. Use this for a feelings binder, a bulletin board, coloring pages, morning meetings, classroom decor, and more!

Each feelings page includes a feeling, three suggestions on how to deal with the feeling, and an ESV Bible verse that offers comfort/guidance in relation to the feeling.

Read five-star reviews for the Feelings Binder!

Bonus Resource: Christian Class Rewards

These Christian Class Rewards will help build classroom and school community with a heart-centered reward system.

As your students work toward a class reward, remind them that their first motivation is to serve Christ in love, not to get a class reward; nothing is more desirable than Him. I have included Bible verses (choose Colossians 3:23-24 ESV or Psalm 73:25 ESV) on the class reward posters to help your students remember these truths.
