Different from your typical Bible Story approach for children, this series and this guide, firstly, teaches young children who Jesus is. The lessons in this level teach on who Jesus was, what He did, and what He taught. Lessons are organized in nine (9) categories: Stories Jesus Told, Miracles Jesus Did, Teachings of Jesus, Sermon on the Mount, Jesus’ Early Life, Jesus’ Disciples, Opposition to Jesus, End of Jesus’ Life, and The Rest of the Story. Each lesson can be broken up over 2-3 days a week. There are 36 core lessons and 3 supplemental lessons. Flexibility is offered in how you facilitate each lesson, read the scripted text while student’s color; read scripted text one day, color another day, and do activity pages on another. You decide the flow that works best for you and your students. Scripture is provided in the guide and is taken from the NIV. Each lesson provides a parent section that orients and helps you handle the lessons teachings and scripture sections. The instructor guide is intended to be used alongside the Year Two Activity Book (053618). For more detailed information and fuller examples consult Telling God’s Story: A Parents’ Guide to Teaching the Bible (008093). 146 pgs, pb. ~Rebecca
