Overview
The Simply Loved Elementary Kit's Quarter 1 lesson plan is designed to help kids in first grade through fourth grades discover and understand that God always loves us, we can trust God, and Jesus loves everyone.
Each quarter of Simply Loved children's ministry curriculum is made up of three units, each containing four unique Sunday school lessons for kids. Each unit features a lovable Bible Memory Buddy that creates a visual and emotional connection to every lesson through engaging videos, helping kids learn and remember each unit's Bible Memory Verse. In Quarter 1, kids explore Bible truths along with Savanna the Giraffe, Rae the Giant Manta Ray, and Decker the Decorator Crab. (Psst... if you've used Group's VBS, you might recognize these characters!)
See Product Detail below to see the weekly lessons included in this quarter's Sunday school curriculum.
- This Sunday school curriculum kit contains everything you need to plan, prepare, and teach the Simply Loved Quarter 1 lessons.
- One kit will serve a single classroom of up to 25 kids (limited only by the Bible Memory Buddy Stickers, also sold separately).
- If you have multiple elementary Sunday school classrooms, you can either purchase additional Simply Loved Elementary kits, purchase additional components (Leader Guide, DVD, etc.), or consider purchasing the "Plus Digital" kit instead which allows access to reproduce additional teaching materials as needed—plus it comes with special bonus resources!
- Add an Upper Elementary Digital Add-On Pack to age-up activities for the older kids in your crew. Each quarter includes 24 additional experiences designed for kids in Grades 5 & 6 (2 per week reinforcing the lesson’s Bible Point). The Upper Elementary Digital Add-On pack is a digital-only supplement that must be purchased in addition to the Elementary Kit.
