One possible 10-15 minute daily activity for a high school theology class could be a “Question of the Day” discussion.

1. Begin by selecting a thought-provoking question related to the day’s topic or a current event that connects to the subject matter of the class. For example, if the class is studying the concept of forgiveness, the question could be: “What does forgiveness mean to you? Can you think of a time when you had to forgive someone or when someone forgave you?”

2. Ask students to take a few minutes to reflect on the question individually and jot down their thoughts.

3. Divide the class into small groups or pairs and have them share their responses with each other. Encourage them to listen actively and respectfully to their classmates’ perspectives.

4. After the small group discussion, bring the class back together and invite a few students to share their thoughts or experiences with the whole class. Encourage a respectful and open dialogue, allowing students to ask questions or offer alternative viewpoints.

5. As the teacher, facilitate the discussion by asking follow-up questions, summarizing key points, and connecting the students’ responses to the theological concepts being studied.

6. Conclude the activity by summarizing the main ideas discussed and highlighting any connections to the day’s lesson or larger themes in theology.

This activity allows students to engage with the material in a personal and reflective way, while also fostering critical thinking, empathy, and respectful dialogue. It can be easily adapted to different topics and can serve as a daily warm-up or a way to wrap up a class session.
