Free Curriculum? Are We Crazy? Doubly So!
Since
1994, Kidology.org has been the Internet's leading and
continuously-growing source of supplemental ideas for kid's church
teaching. Although we've always had a LOT of user-generated curriculum
in our Zones, as well as commercially-available lessons in the Kidology
Store, we have never had a complete and comprehensive biblical
curriculum available for our members.
Until now.
Starting in January 2010, we will have not one, but TWO comprehensive 3-year curriculums on Kidology.org!
And are you ready for this? THEY ARE FREE!
Discovering God's Path Curriculum
Wonderfully-designed
and visually-appealing, this 3-year completely reproducible curriculum
will be released FREE on a quarterly basis as a benefit for Kidology
Premium Members -- as well as being available in its entirety for
purchase by anyone via our Store. Thus, for the cost of an annual
Kidology membership, you are set with a curriculum for your entire
elementary education needs.
Kidology Open Source Curriculum
Packed with rich content and fully-customizable, this 3-year curriculum
will be hosted in the Kidology Forums, allowing anyone with a free
Kidology Basic Membership to collaborate, share ideas, and improve each
lesson as a community of teachers. This project will continually grow
and expand the material - and will always be completely 100% free! Ideal
for home schoolers as well.
Why would we give all this away for free? Because we know the need is
out there. Churches are struggling. Budgets are being cut. Home school
families are needing curriculum, but not another expense. Every month it
seems there is another curriculum coming out for sale and we decided it
is time to give back to the children's ministry community with some
tools we can all use.

Discovering God's Path Curriculum

Starting in January 2009, Kidology is excited to offer Deena Stirling's Discovering God's Path curriculum FREE to Kidology Premium Members.
These
easy-to-use, reproducible lessons are ideal for your weekend or midweek
programs for kids in grades 2-5. If your curriculum budget
has shrunk and you are seeking affordable alternatives, let your Kidology Membership come to the rescue!
Each lesson features the following:- Lesson Plan - Showcasing opener options, prayer, and stories

- Activity - Overview of suggested activities for both younger and older kids

- Memory Verse - Biblical text and passages for children to remember
- Coloring Sheet - Visually reinforce the teaching

Kidology Open Source Curriculum

Introducing Kidology Open Source Curriculum, the teaching tools you download, remix, and share with others!
Starting in January 2010, Kidology will be sharing a complete 3-year children's ministry curriculum for FREE.
It consists of three 1-year programs: Old Testament Chronological Study, New Testament Chronological Study, and Value Keepers of the Bible. We're big fans of the collaborative power of the Internet to take something and make it better, so we're "open sourcing" these studies written with extensive detail by Susan E. Harper, author of our popular The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe Companion Study.
We encourage you to download our Open Source Curriculum "as is" for FREE... and then modify it to make it work in your ministry.
Add some awesome visuals to tell a story? Rewrite an
illustration? Supplement the content with an object lesson?
Go ahead, remix it all you want. We don't mind!
At the same time, if you are a Kidology Member -- whether that be at the FREE Basic level or the all-access Premium option -- go ahead and upload your changes to the curriculum so that others can use it as well.
We'll be setting up interactive discussions for each unit. Pull
down the content, modify it, and upload your new version.
Let's do something collaborative and benefit everyone who works with kids at church, school, and home!» Learn more about Kidology Open Source Curriculum
