What's the most exciting thing to happen to you this week?
What was the best thing about your day today?
What are you looking forward to this week?
Are you looking forward to your birthday coming up?
Did you go trick-or-treating on Monday?
How was the play you were telling me about last week?
The questions above are the kind of banter I generally have with kids in primary school.
I think these weekly conversations, although not overly deep, are crucial.
One thing that children's and youth ministry provides, which kids don't really get elsewhere are caring adults.
Adults who will show an interest in their life are an incredible blessing in the life of a child and, of equal importance, there is the real chance that you will be the only person who will ask them how they are going and actually listen to the answer.
