Wonder Ink’s Bible Curriculum for Early Elementary
As children grow and develop, it’s crucial that we consistently help them understand their place in God’s big story. Many times, their sense of identity, purpose, and value is shaped by the messages they receive from the world, and these influences can often be confusing or contradictory.
As followers of Christ, it’s our responsibility to help them see their identity in Him and share this truth: that they are created to be known, loved, and led by God. By continually pointing them back to God’s Word, we help them build a strong foundation of faith that anchors them in Him.
With Wonder Ink, you can equip volunteers to lead, support parents in faith formation at home, and walk with kids in their journey of faith in God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Elementary Bible Curriculum and Lessons for Middle Schoolers
Early Elementary Lessons
By combining activities and teachings from both Early Childhood and Elementary lessons, the supplemental Early Elementary age level creates the ideal fit for your youngest elementary kids (K-2nd Grade)—including a craft and a game. Lessons are developmentally appropriate and introduce new concepts to help them grow in their faith—building on Early Childhood foundations.
Elementary Lessons with Activities for Preteens
It’s imperative that we reach this group of children as they develop and head into their preteens. To walk alongside this age group as they learn, grow, and love Jesus, Elementary lessons are built to engage the oldest elementary kids (3rd-6th Grade) and include activities that are specific to Preteens.
Choosing lessons for this age level is also recommended if all your elementary students are learning together. You can supplement activities and questions from the Early Elementary age level for small group time as needed.
