Back to School with Jesus ✏️ - 5 Bible Lessons for Ages 5-11 - Sunday School Series

5 Gospel-Centered Lessons to Help Kids Start the School Year with Jesus

Start the school year with more than school supplies—start it with truth that lasts.

This 5-week Sunday school curriculum is designed to help children ages 5–11 focus their hearts on Jesus as they head back to the classroom. Each lesson is built around a common school supply and connects that everyday item to a deeper spiritual truth—from the God who erases sin to the Savior who never leaves us.

These Bible lessons were inspired by our popular printable resource Back-to-School with Jesus, but go even deeper with expanded Bible teaching, Scripture-based songs, memory verse games, review activities, and engaging prayer prompts. Perfect for Sunday mornings, midweek, or a 5-day event.

✨ What’s Included in This Curriculum:

• 📖 5 Full Bible Lessons (45–60 minutes each)
  Each one includes an intro activity, songs, Bible teaching, memory verse game, discussion questions, review activity, and prayer prompt.

• 🖍️ Printable Coloring Pages
  Beautiful black-and-white illustrations for each week—great for take-home reinforcement or in-class use.

• 🧠 Memory Verse Games
  Help kids hide God’s Word in their hearts with fun, hands-on review games tied to each week’s Scripture.

• ❤️ Teacher Devotionals
  “Big Truths for the Teacher’s Heart” included each week to encourage you with gospel-rich truth before you teach.

• 💬 Discussion Questions with Gospel Focus
  Thoughtful, age-appropriate questions to help kids apply the truth and see Jesus as the hero of every story.
