Summer Games Curriculum Overview

Training - Living the Christian life is a lot like training for the Summer Games. God has a plan for your life—a plan he wants to pass on to you. But that plan isn’t something that will simply happen overnight. It takes preparation and training, and that preparation and training has to start now while you are young. Kids will look at Scripture to see how they can prepare to live for God.

Falling Down - Everyone who has ever called themselves a Christian has stumbled and fallen—and not just once, but many times. We’ve all sinned when we should have listened to God.  We’ve all acted like hypocrites. We’ve all fallen short. But the good news is that when we do fail, Jesus is ready and waiting to forgive us. Jesus gives us the second chance we need, and he uses our failures as a chance to teach us the things we need to know to continue pursuing the prize he has set before us.

Crossing The Finish Line - In this lesson kids will talk about perseverance—the will to never quit and never give up—as we pursue the prize God has set before us.

About This Curriculum:

• Perfect for kids ages 6-12.
• Includes both Large Group and Small Group resources.

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 :(
