"A closely-graded curriculum just doesn't work with my mixed-age class. Is there an alternative that utilizes the creative teaching style of me and my staff?"

The answer is YES! The group-graded Bible Learning Series Folders contain material from the closely-graded PLAYSONGS® Bible Time Toddlers thru Kindergarten curriculum in a flexible, non-dated format ideal for multi-age classes, day-care, and non-traditional teaching opportunities.

"I'm so happy to see you have [this] series in print again. I have absolutely loved them and used them [for] years. Just last year I pulled them out to use again and I have found them to be flexible to use with different ages and group sizes. THANK YOU!" - Kathy, a Children's Ministry Director

Each 8-page folder contains enough material for 4 early childhood sessions, including kid-friendly activities and applicable reproducibles.

Definitive goals are achieved through Bible stories, Bible verses and songs for each 4-lesson unit. Children learn scriptural concepts through activities such as science, story time, music and movement, cooking, art and games.

(NOTE: Teacher's manuals--no student manual required.)
View Scope & Sequence (pdf)

This curriculum takes advantage of a three year old’s developing sense of will. In learning about God’s ways they are beginning to wrestle with “my will” versus “God’s will” (most often in the form of parent or teacher authority). Obeying, helping, sharing and making wise choices are the prominent focus of this age level.

Fours
PLAYSONGS® Bible Time for Fours • "Let's Grow With God"
(NOTE: Teacher's manuals--no student manual required.)
View Scope & Sequence (pdf)

Four year olds are beginning to realize that they are growing and will not always be little. Unlike three year olds, four year olds are now ready for associative play and are learning to cooperate. However, they are still very focused on their own wishes and can be active and assertive in pursuing their interests. This curriculum takes advantage of these changes, encouraging children to include God in their exploits, helping them learn that God is in control of life and that growing children can choose to honor Him.

Five-Ks
PLAYSONGS® Bible Time for Five-Ks • "Let's Discover God's Purposes"
(NOTE: Teacher's manuals--no student manual required.)
Download FREE 5ks Sample Lesson(pdf)

Five year olds are explorers in God’s world, excited about learning and discovering. They are discovering a sense of purpose for all that God has created, including a purpose for their curiosity and questions. Often called the “golden age” of childhood, kids in this age group are usually fairly calm, friendly, and eager to please. However, they can be very self-focused and adamant about getting their way. This curriculum guides children from self-focus to God-focus. Fives learn that God’s purpose is to bless us in order to show us who he is. They also learn that God wants us to bless others to show others who He is.

FOUNDATIONS for Grades 1 and 2
(NOTE: Teacher's manuals--no student manual required.)
Download FREE 1st Grade Sample Lesson (pdf)
Download FREE 2nd Grade Sample Lesson (pdf)


First & Second Grade FOUNDATIONS gives children a broad overview of biblical events in the order in which they happened. They see the Bible as one story as God reveals His character and His plan in a purposeful way, and they see Jesus at the center of God’s plan for bringing the world back to Himself.

Kid-friendly features:

  • Archaelogical Dig
    Children discover “artifacts” at the Archaeological Dig (your galvanized tub, large box or wading pool) to initiate creative object lessons pertaining to the Bible lesson.
  • Wall Mural Puzzle
    Each lesson plan has a mural page pattern, shaped like a puzzle piece, to be photocopied and attached to the wall as the class constructs a time line. For continuity, this time line can go with the first grade students (Old Testament study) as they graduate to the second grade (New Testament study).

  • Student Notebook
    Students can build their own Bible event time line in a loose-leaf notebook. Creativity is encouraged as they draw and color the important event(s) pertaining to each lesson.

    1st Grade
    (NOTE: Teacher's manuasl--no student manual required.)

    Because six year olds are beginning to understand the flow of time, this chronological overview of the Old Testament helps first graders understand that the Bible is one whole meaningful story in itself, not simply a collection of stories told like Aesop’s fables.

    This curriculum takes advantage of a six year old’s enjoyment of games and artistic expression in the activities. Most reading is either optional or done as a group so that children who have difficulty will not feel embarrassed.

    The second grader’s concept of historical events continues to develop into a more accurate understanding. They are curious and enjoy activities and games involving codes. Second Grade Foundations takes advantage of the need for discovery with the “Archaeological Artifacts” activity. The artifacts serve as codes to the story, engaging the students as they discover the meaning of the codes.

    Because seven year olds like to review, brief reviews are built into the beginning and end of each session. Additionally, each activity serves as a review of the theme for the session which is introduced during the large group story time.

    Grades 3/4/5
    Jesus: His Life, His Times, His Message (Ages 8 thru 11)
    available EXCLUSIVELY from Karyn Henley Resources (Not available in stores)

    Jesus: His Life, His Times, His Message takes kids on a journey back in time to gain a new perspective on eternal truth. Children will experience a fresh look at Jesus as they see how God reveals His love through His Son.

    They will walk with Jesus as He grows up in ancient Palestine, attends synagogue services, and interacts with real people in his homeland––a land of pluralism not unlike our own. They'll discover how God’s message of love shines against the backdrop of the beliefs of the Jesus' time. And most importantly, they'll experience Jesus "off-the-page" as he becomes relevant to life here and now, leading them to understand why the Good News is truly good news. 

    This series of 4 books covers the life of Jesus in chronological order, from his birth to his ascension. Taking one lesson per week the entire series can be completed in 52 weeks. It is an excellent fit with the Day By Day Kids Bible, or can be used with any traditional translation of the Bible.

    A 13-lesson study for Grades 3 thru 5 (ages 8 - 11)
    (NOTE: Teacher's manual--no student manual required.)

    Download FREE Sample Lesson (pdf)

    This study can also be used with FOUNDATIONS Curriculum (ages 8-11) and as a companion to The Compass.

    Lead your kids on a quest to find the bridge to God!

    This quest has been man's deepest desire since the beginning of time, resulting in the many popular religions from all over the world. But not until Jesus Christ did for mankind what they could not do for themselves, was the bridge to God created.

    BRIDGE-QUEST helps children find the bridge for themselves, leading them to know without a doubt why they believe in Jesus as the Christ.

    BRIDGE-QUEST is an economical, self-contained 13-lesson teacher’s manual which includes reproducible handouts, interactive projects, and creative ideas for students to explore the concepts presented.

    BRIDGE-QUEST follows two tracks during the course:

    Track 1 - Who God is and what has He done for us through Jesus.
    Track 2 - Overviews of the world's most prominent religions to show people's perceptions of the Highest Power (God) and how they attempt to connect with it.


    Karyn Henley has designed BRIDGE-QUEST to do for children ages 8 thru 11 what her ground-breaking book, Love Trumps Karma, does for teens and adults--present a foundational apologetic they can understand in the midst of a post-modern, post-Biblical culture.

    - a hike through the apologetic of Perfect Love -
    A 13-lesson study for Grades 3 thru 5 (ages 8 - 11)
    (NOTE: Teacher's manual--no student manual required.)

    This study can also be used with FOUNDATIONS Curriculum (ages 8-11) and as a companion to BRIDGE-QUEST.

    Like it or not, we live in a pluralistic culture.

    And sometimes our kids seem to experience more kindness and generosity from their Hindu, Buddhist and Muslim friends than from some Christians they know. Sometimes these friends say the Bible is just a rule book for a religions that is narrow-minded and condemning. How do kids who believe in Jesus respond? Do they know why they believe in Jesus?

    The Compass is a 13-week curriculum for ages 8-11 that explains why Jesus Christ is the answer to every person's search for Truth (with a capital "T")
    . This is a teacher's manual--no student manual required.

    Children will learn a fresh defense of the Gospel (an apologetic) that serves as a compass pointing to God (who is Perfect Love, our "true North"). They will also learn ways to be reminded of this apologetic and share it with their friends.
