Teaching
Are Bible Drills for all ages?
Bible Drills are often not applicable to younger kids, as wording is often a little beyond their comprehension and/or focus. Physical Bibles can also be a distraction. We recommend Bible Drills and reading from the Bible to be done by older kids (ages 7+).
Where do I find props for Act it Out Scripts?
Props can be purchased online, where costumes and toys are sold, or handmade. Please drop by our blog for handmade ideas!
What is the best age to start the curriculum?
We recommend starting the Old Testament lessons with children from the age of 4. The curriculum is designed to grow with students as they progress, incorporating more challenging doctrine and application as they 'trek' through the lessons.
My classroom has a large age range, will this curriculum work?
Lessons are readily applicable to a large age range!
If working in Units 8+ with younger children, teachers may need to leave out parts of the lesson and/or stop to explain things to younger students.
If working in Units 1-7 with older children, teachers may need to teach the story in a manner more applicable to their students rather than reading word for word. Application and review questions may likewise need to be adapted. Prepare ahead of time to make the best of the lesson for your age group!
Activities (mazes, code words, coloring pages, and word puzzles) can be done in separate groups based on interest or age. Act it Out Scripts offer roles for all ages, as younger kids can be background characters (or animals), or helped through their lines if given speaking roles.
