Jelly Beans Children's Ministry Curriculum Lesson Overview

Memory Verse:

"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends." John 15:13

Lessons:

White: White jelly beans remind us that Jesus lived a perfect life and set the example for how we should live.

Red: Red jelly beans remind us of God's love.  He loved us so much that He died for us.

Black: Black jelly beans remind us of the dark tomb.  Jesus had to die so that we could live forever with Him.

Yellow: Yellow jelly beans remind us of the sunrise on Easter morning, when Jesus came back to life!  This is the good news that God wants us to share with everyone.

Each Lesson Includes:

• Make It Stick! Parent Sheet - so you can let mom and dad know what kids are learning each week and look like a rockstar teacher who's thought of everything.
• Memory Verse - so that you can make sure kids are getting Scripture in their minds and hearts every single week and you can feel like each lesson was a success even when it seems like 90% of your lesson time is spent saying things like "calm down", "let's be quiet", "hands to yourself!" 
• Skit or Puppet Show - so you have a way to easily connect the lesson with your hands-on and visual learners. No drama team? No problem! Just hand the script to the kids. They'll have a blast and think you're the coolest.
• Craft Activity - so you can give kids a physical reminder of the Bible lesson (and give yourself an activity to keep them busy until mom and dad come back!)
• Game - so kids don't leave and say church was BORING! Games are so important to help keep kids engaged. Our large group games always include a "What's The Point" section to help you connect the game to the lesson.
• Large Group Lesson - so you can present the Bible story in a clear and fun way, which means now you can enjoy Saturday nights instead of stressing over putting a lesson together!
• Small-Group Discussion - so you can find out who was paying attention and who was talking to their neighbor.  Just kidding, this is a great way for you to build deeper relationships with your kiddos after each lesson, which means you're going to care about them so much you'll cry like a baby when they graduate and go to middle school :(
