There's a LOT I like about your Sunday School Curriculum for kids.
I downloaded the free "Harvest Hoopla" and have gone through the whole lesson.
I love the coloring picture and the Bible Word search, with the answer sheet. That is NICE! Very helpful because I can hand it out OR put it up on the PowerPoint and have the children come up and find the words. They love that!
I use PowerPoint to teach my kids so I can keep things moving as they can't sit still like they used to. It would be VERY helpful if a PowerPoint was created with 5-8 questions so I don't have to take the time to make them. Just asking the questions doesn't keep their attention. I put sound effects in my PowerPoint questions, but it takes me more time.
It would also be helpful if a Memory Verse page was created in NIV and NLT. I order sometimes from another ministry, and they do that and it's very helpful. They offer the verse in an 8x10 and then on a page 4-up for printing to hand out to students. I copy the memory verse to my PowerPoint also and make it a game.
I also make a concentration game on the computer with pictures that correlate with the lesson. Sometimes we have time for it, sometimes we don't.
I find that the attention span has really decreased over the years as so many are entertained by electronics, so I try and use PowerPoint to keep their attention.
I just ordered the 52-Week Curriculum for 2024-2025 and will have to modify it as I use the material on Wednesday night, instead of Sunday morning, so that throws some of the Holidays off and I have to re-figure and add or remove a lesson.
Because of the age differences in my class, some of the lessons, I either have to make into two lessons or skip through some of it, which I hate to do because there's such good material!!!
I love your material, and I know you can't fill every need. I love the Titles and the lessons. I just get frustrated at times when so many parents are not involved with the children anymore, and they are so hooked on tablets.
Thank you for everything you do!!!!
In Christ,
