Flexible Curriculum

Each age level—Beginning Kids’ Quest and Elementary Kids’ Quest—has three volumes with 12 lessons in each (36 for each age level, 72 in all). This design makes it appropriate for many different settings and time slots: first hour, Sunday school, homeschool, mom’s morning out, and more. Here are some creative ways you can use it in your setting:

• School year: Use with both age groups over a nine-month period, September to June, to coincide with the school year. A perfect companion to Show Me Jesus Sunday school — use Show Me Jesus for first hour, and Kids’ Quest for second hour.
• Two-year program for smaller churches, September to June: Start with Beginning Kids’ Quest the first year and move the children who complete it into Elementary Kids’ Quest the next year.
• Two-year program, September to June using both age levels, two weeks for each lesson: The first week covers the Bible story and lesson, and the second week reviews the lesson and concentrates on memorization/recitation.
• One volume at a time: Use one volume for each age group during the summer for three summers. Download FREE Summer Resource Kit here! Or use individual volumes or portions of volumes as modules to teach particular topics to the children (such as the Ten Commandments or Lord’s Prayer).

Flexible Age Groups

The flexibility of the Kids’ Quest program allows churches, schools, homeschools, families, and more to adapt the resources to their own needs.
