Summer Topic: God’s Kingdom (I and II Kings)
Décor: The Repair Shop

The mighty exploits God performed through Elijah and Elisha are not just exciting stories to capture children’s imagination; these accounts show us that our faithful God has a plan for His people. Over the course of these memorable lessons, children will encounter the mending, healing, and restoring love of God as they are equipped to navigate life.

First and second graders (typically ages 6-7) are fun to teach, as it is exciting to see the “light bulb” moments when they get what is being taught. This group is ready to move past basic facts and start grasping concepts that go beyond mere echoing of “Our God is one.” Age-appropriate crafts, games, discussion questions, and Bible stories will lead them to understand in their hearts and minds that our God is one! As God’s story is told through active interaction such as puppet skits, drama role-play, echoing, and expressive storytelling, your beginners will learn that they too are key players in His story today. Options to include every learning style (e.g., music, logic, movement, introspection) somewhere in the session allow the teacher to pick and choose what will work best for the students’ capabilities.
