Watch the video above to learn all about the Wonder Ink scope and sequence!
The Wonder Ink curriculum is based on four core values:
- God Knows Me
- Jesus Loves Me
- The Holy Spirit Leads Me
- I Am a Child of God
The weekly lessons are enriched with these values—giving kids space to fully discover their place in God’s big story and resulting in an understanding of how their lives can tell the world of His wonder. This curriculum takes kids through the entire Bible in three years. Each year encompasses major Bible stories grouped into themed series, balancing each year with Old Testament and New Testament stories, and connecting the Bible as a whole.
It even includes special Christmas and Easter series that clearly connect the Old Testament to the New Testament in God’s big story! Rooted in the biblical truth that our identity is found in God’s big story—where Jesus is the promised Savior and the Holy Spirit is present—Wonder Ink makes room for the big (and sometimes hard) questions kids have while leaving no doubt about who God is or who we are in Him.
All of our weekly lessons are enriched with these values to help kids enter God’s Big Story and see their place in it. With that, our scope and sequence is built around these four values.

So that each year is broken up into sections that have lessons that point to these core values.
God’s Big Story
First, each series and the series are based on biblical themes to help kids connect the Bible stories to one another and to the theme of what those are teaching them about God, as well as to connect each story as a part of God’s Big Story.
So each year of our three year scope and sequence covers the main stories in the Bible, from Old Testament to New Testament, and they go in order. And it’s a balanced version so that we have a balanced number of stories from the Old and New Testament each year.
Sharing From the Old Testament and New Testament
Explore God’s big story as you journey through the entire Bible with Wonder Ink’s rolling scope and sequence. Over the course of 3 years, kids will experience over 150 Bible stories. And the best part is that you can jump in at any time!
So the two major holidays in our church year are the Christmas season/Advent and Easter. And we have series in those that are extra special because they actually include stories from both the Old Testament to the New Testament to help kids tie all of those stories together so that they can see how it connects in God’s Big Picture.
All of our weekly lessons are enriched with our four core values to help kids enter God’s Big Story and see their place in it.
