Our Bible Fun Factory Lesson Plans are ”the essentials”. The lessons that every single Christian child between 4-12 needs to be taught.These three women, three men, and twelve voices from heaven all have something wonderful in common: They made choices that can show children how to prioritize. Ruth puts family before friends. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego put God before country. Esther put her spiritual family before her flesh-and-blood family and her country. Abigail put matters of right and wrong before her family. The Minor Prophets speak sternly in God’s “Parent Voice,” giving words directly from the Source on how to prioritize some modern day issues.Lessons Include:Lesson 1:Ruth and Putting Family FirstLesson 2:Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego Put God FirstLesson 3:Queen Esther Stands up for Her PeopleLesson 4:Abigail Stands Up for What’s RightLesson 5:The Minor ProphetsWe have 3 core beliefs when we create Bible Lesson Plans:1) They should be EASY for the teacher to teach. 2) They should be FUN for the child.3) They should actually TEACH the child bedrock principles of the Christian Faith and the Bible.------------------------------------------------------------------Each of the Lessons Include:-Materials List (Don't worry, nearly everything can be gathered up at a moments notice from your own house. For example, you might need to grab a big spoon)-Complete Lesson (Including our much loved “teaching script” that tells you exactly what to say!)-Scripture Reading (we put the scripture reading in the lesson, to make it easy!)-2 Games (Kids LOVE games, each game teaches an important element of the overall lesson and lets the kids get up out of their seat and move around. Typically one game is geared to young children 4-7 and another for the 8-12 year olds)-2 Intro Activities (These activities get the kids engaged in the lesson and help to fill the time as kids trickle in.)-2 Lesson Activities (These activities vary from object lessons, crafts, treasure hunts, and more)-Closing Prayer (Our closing prayers are each designed to leave the kids with a positive message and reminder of the lesson).------------------------------------------------------------------Class Length:The lessons are designed to run for one hour, but can easily be expanded to cover more time if needed.Age Level:The lessons include age-appropriate activities, discussion, and questions for children ages 4-12. Equally effective with mixed age groups or single age classes.Prep Time:Each lesson was designed to be taught after only 5-10 minutes of prep time. You don't need to go around collecting craft materials or spending an hour before class getting organized. You can literally “glance & go”.Denomination:Our lessons can be used by churches of all denominations, as the topics covered are truly the foundation of Christian faith. In addition, any Bible translation can be used.
