SquirrellyMama Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I'm not sure where to put this thread. I thought I'd start here. I don't like our Sunday School Curriculum very much. I was hoping to suggest something different. Who loves their church's Sunday School curriculum? I want something that isn't just geared to girls but also the wiggly boys. I also don't want a lot of fluff. I think it should be fun and not a lot of sitting around writing for the younger ages but be meaty also. Does anyone know of something like that. What about the Bible Explorer series? Would something like that work for a church? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhudson Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Try the Discipleland Curriculum. It's really good or 252Basics is great for a larger church. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquirrellyMama Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 I like the DiscipleLand samples. They look really good. Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Vane Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I think the Children Desiring God curriculum is the best on the market. Most others are cartoonish and do not cover the passage in much depth. I personally prefer it over Discipleland as well as the others I have worked with. http://www.childrendesiringgod.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Our church uses curriculum published by Great Commissions Publications and I love it. I teach the 3rd-5th grade class and it's awesome. I learn more than the kids, probably. For winter quarter we studied the Tabernacle and the different aspects of OT worship and the sacrificial system and how they are a picture of Christ's ultimate sacrifice for us. It was good. Their 10 Commandments Unit was excellent as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jana Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Godly Play is my absolute favorite. It is based on Montessori theories of play and it is very hands on. I tried to give you a link, but they are having trouble with their website right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquirrellyMama Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Thank you to everyone for all the ideas. I'll look at all of them and see if I can suggest one to the Sunday School committee. I'm almost emabarassed to read some of the stories and ideas from our current curriculum to the kids on Sunday mornings because they are so dumbed down.

mrsrevmeg Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 One that I have been trying to get at my church is called Generations of Grace. It is a shame that so many companies put out curriculum that is so pathetic. What is worse is that so many churches (like mine) use a certain company because that is what our denomination recommends.
