Children experience many developmental milestones in elementary school — from physical, to intellectual, to social, and emotional — and faith is not an exception. Here you will find several resources for elementary-age children that nurture the development of faith through age-appropriate Bible stories and activities.
Engaging in biblical stories shared in a variety of ways, children learn through the stimulation of their imagination and class participation. Following the same scope and sequence, We Believe curriculum is designed for the following age levels: Younger Elementary—Grades (K)1–2; Older Elementary—Grades 3–4; Multiage—Grades K–5; Tweens—Grades 5–6; and Younger Youth—Grades 7–8(9).
Packed with kid-friendly lessons, take-home comics, and activities, this broadly graded summer curriculum encourages children to explore Old and New Testament stories of God’s people.
This Workshop Rotation ModelTM curriculum is based on the tenets of the Reformed faith. Each unit consists of seven workshops: art, audiovisual, computer, drama/storytelling, games and puzzles, music and worship, and bonus (this workshop depends on the content of the unit).
This downloadable, 13-session curriculum for children—Grades K–5—connects participants to mission sites around the United States and world.
