FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

1. Who are these lessons best for?
   “To Seek and Save the Lost” is a flexible curriculum. It can be used in a variety of settings, Sunday School, midweek Bible study, or Children’s Church. It can be used in a mixed age classroom or individual elementary aged classrooms.  It is primarily written to be used in a self-contained class with a wide range of age groups (K-5^th grade), but can be adapted to large group/ small group settings or even homeschool/ family worship settings.
   
   The lessons do not include separate activities for various age groups, but you (as teacher) know your group best and will be able to determine how best to use the activities with your class.
   
   The primary audience of these lessons is grades 1.
   
   
   
2. Our church has a large group/ small group format. How should I structure these lessons in that format?
   

With a Large Group/ Small group format, the suggestion would be to:

a.     Do the intro activity either in small groups, or the whole group together (depending on numbers)

b.     Do worship together and read the text in a large group setting

c.      Do the remaining activities; memory verse, cross connection, book time, etc. in small group settings.

 

3.     How would I format these to be used in a family/ homeschool setting?
If you choose to use these lessons at home, you may want to divide the lesson to stretch over 4 days like this. Note, if you teach these lessons over the course of the week, be sure to read the Bible text every day.

a.     day 1 – Introduction and Learn the Text

b.     day 2 – Worship Together and Memory Verse

c.      day 3 – Book Time

d.     day 4 – cross connection

4.     Why 36 lessons instead of 52?
This series is intended to be taught through a year, allowing for you to either, (1) add in thematic lessons for holidays – Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine’s, Palm Sunday, Easter, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, etc. Or, (2) teach during the school year and switch to themed units for the holidays and the summer when many kids are traveling and schedules change a lot.
