Description
___________________________________________________________________________

Because children need help understanding that the Bible is one story with Jesus as the hero, the Gospel Story Curriculum: Finding Jesus in the Old Testament focuses on Christ as it teaches preschool through sixth-grade children 78 key stories from Genesis to Malachi that highlight God's plan of redemption. This unique year and a half long curriculum grows with children by exploring the same Bible stories at three different learning levels, presenting the material in a fresh way each time to help children grow in their understanding of the Bible.  Every year children learn a slightly longer version of each passage. Corresponding materials in the The Gospel Story Bible and Long Story Short devotional book allow parents to follow up with the same lesson at home. This versatile curriculum is ideal for church, school, and home use. The forthcoming Gospel Story Curriculum: Following Jesus in the New Testament (available 1/1/2013) and Old Story New: Ten-Minute Devotions to Draw Your Family to God (New Testament available 10/1/2012) complete the three-year Gospel Story for Kids program.

 Lower Elementary Description

Designed for first- to third-grade children, the lower elementary curriculum takes a more detailed look at how each of these Bible stories connects to the gospel. Through age-appropriate object lessons, activities, and coloring sheets, teachers can help young elementary school children to see Christ in the Old Testament.
 
Upper Elementary Description

The developing minds of fourth- to sixth-grade children are challenged to search the Bible's text through engaging activities in the upper elementary curriculum. Using the same story content as the lower elementary curriculum, the upper elementary curriculum utilizes different activities and objects lesson suitable for nine- to twelve-year old children. Reviewing the now-familiar Bible stories, older children will gain a deeper understanding of redemption in Christ as they begin to study Scripture for themselves.
