Bible, Memory Verse, & Music - 5 Year
The 5 Year Curriculum moves the child past knowledge of Bible stories and into application and understanding of God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the Bible. Bible stories, verses, and songs have been chosen to further the learning. The child is also encouraged to learn the Old Testament books of the Bible. Click for more suggestions on Preschool Bible Verse Memory and Music & Rhymes ideas.
To help learn the memory verses, 5 Year Curriculum Memory Cards are available to print. Each card contains the verse, reference, and a corresponding picture. Also included is the curriculum and week the verse is used in the ABCJLM lesson plans (i.e. 4 Year Week 6). Each memory verse contains a different picture to aid in the learning. Four cards are printed per 8 1/2 x 11" piece of paper. Print on cardstock to make them more durable. Rubber band together or hole punch and combine with a c-ring.
In the weekly lesson plans, I have included two children devotional Bibles - My First Hands-On Bible, The Beginning Reader's Bible- in which to find the stories. I have included the page numbers to help lessen your preparation time. Another wonderful way to tell the stories is through flannelgraph.
