52 Week Plan for Kids
For your elementary age kids (6-11), here's a whole year of carefully curated lessons; because we love to save you time!
What's Your Story?
Everyone has a story to tell. By looking at the story of the Bible together, children learn how God has been revealing the greatest story, chapter by chapter, throughout history. Kids will discover their part in this story and how God is still telling His story today.
This scope and sequence showcases the RaiseUpFaith resource library, all tied together to create a cohesive Bible-based curriculum that takes the kids on a journey of faith and discovery.
CHAPTER 1: In the Beginning
We start at the very beginning of the story, learning about What’s In The Bible? And how to read this very important book. We then concentrate on Moses and his story following the One Story Kids Series ‘Underdog’. In November we begin our Friends and Heroes adventure, introducing kids to Macky and his friends as they learn about some powerful Bible stories.
Christmas is a chocolate box of content. The Extra-Ordinary series by Big Start emphasises how God uses ordinary people to fulfil His purposes in the greatest story ever told. The Savior promised throughout the Old Testament arrives. We celebrate Christmas with the Cheeky Pandas and then the next chapter begins.
