Choose Kids (ages 6-12) or Preschool (ages 3-5 years old)

This 2026 curriculum ensures families grow together by covering the same weekly Bible story, across all age groups. While the scope and sequence are unified, the teaching methods are distinctively tailored: the Kids curriculum (ages 6-12) engages elementary students with high-energy games, visual object lessons, and critical discussion questions.

In contrast, the Preschool curriculum (ages 3-5) focuses on sensory and repetition-based learning through guided play stations, simple movement games, and visual storytelling with simplified crafts. Both tracks deliver a "Hassle-Free" promise with fully scripted lesson plans and supply lists that rely on common household items, making preparation easy for every volunteer.

Elementary Kids (Ages 6-12)

Active, Analytical, and Relational

High-Energy Start: Begins with a competitive Group Game (e.g., "Uh-Oh Stew Relay") to burn energy and build teamwork.
Visual Theology: Features a dedicated Object Lesson (e.g., "Rescue Recipe" with burnt toast) to make abstract spiritual concepts concrete.
Deep Dive: Interactive Bible Story & Discussion encourages critical thinking with open-ended questions and prayer.
Literacy & Application: Reinforces learning with age-appropriate Word Search Puzzles and detailed Crafts

Preschool Curriculum (Ages 3-5)

Play-Based, Sensory, and Repetitive

Soft Start: Begins with Arrival & Guided Play stations (e.g., blocks, play kitchen) to gently introduce the theme through toys.
Movement Learning: Uses simple Pre-K Games (e.g., "Freeze Dance") focused on gross motor skills and fun movement.
Visual Storytelling: The Bible Lesson utilizes Teaching Visuals (printed pictures) and pretend play rather than long readings to keep attention high.
Hands-On Fun: Ends with a Coloring Page, a Worksheet, and a simple Craft (e.g., "Happy Face Soup") designed for little hands.

Our "Hassle-Free" Promise

Teacher-Friendly: Both tracks include a clear Supply List using common household items like paper plates, glue, and toy food
Fully Scripted: Every lesson comes with a fully scripted teaching plan, making it easy for volunteers to jump in with zero stress
