Now all the elementary-age children in your church can take part in a group learning experience that reinforces Adventure themes.  Coordinating with the What to Do When You Don't Know What to Do Adventure themes, this leader's guide is designed to complement the journals and activity books kids use at home. Although this leader’s guide is for grades 1-6, it may be adapted for kindergarten as well.  It’s flexible enough to work in Sunday school, children’s church, or midweek programs – in large or small churches, even in just one class.  

The 50-Day Adventure always offers exciting opportunities and challenges, and this new curriculum is no exception.  Your children’s workers will benefit from: 

• The chance to use their creativity to make the Bible come to life
• Easy-to-understand instructions and complete lesson plans
• More opportunities to learn right along with the kids
• Teamwork and shared responsibilities
• Time to build deeper relationships with children

You’ll find that your kids take ownership of their learning as they dig into the Bible and talk about how it affects their everyday lives.  

Here’s how it works:

• During Bible-Time Projects, children work in small groups on a variety of authentic projects that take them into the world of the New Testament.
• Bible Story Time brings all the children together in one large group to experience a creative Bible story presentation and learn about the “Adventure Gear” God provides for our mixed-up times.  
• In the Life Application segment, kids meet with the same adult leader and small group members each week.  This is where they pray for each other and talk through how they can use their Adventure Gear to trust Jesus more and more.
• Options for Children’s Church Worship and Midweek Extras include Scripture songs by Christine Wyrtzen, game ideas, and ever-popular Critter County stories.
• Family Action Take-home Papers provide ideas for incorporating Adventure themes into family devotions.  Easy-to-understand instructions and complete lesson plans will guide you through this eight-week Adventure.
