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.

The Kindergarten curriculum is designed to meet the needs of children in Pre-K (the year just before attending Kindergarten) and Kindergarten, roughly ages 4-5. These children are eager to learn and experience new adventures. This teacher’s manual puts into the teacher’s hand practical and exciting ideas to feed these hungry minds a well-balanced diet. Creative ideas are given for teaching the children as they play, give, and do. Every segment of the lesson reassures the children that God loves and cares for them. As the children learn basic Bible story facts about people who are part of His story, they will also hear how they too can be part of His story, using some of the same techniques, decisions, and thought processes that the Bible characters used.

Extra helps are included throughout the teacher’s manual such as Bible backgrounds, teacher insights that discuss characteristics of four- and five-year-olds, suggestions for working with those with special needs, and practical teaching tips that cover everything from clever craft ideas to dealing with discipline issues. All activities, memory work, games, and lessons are age-appropriate to meet the broad scope of the various students’ learning skills, while encouraging them to stretch their abilities.
