GO! 5 Mission Adventures for Kids

Just came across this new 5-day mission curriculum from Regular Baptist Press: GO! 5 Mission Adventures for Kids. For grades 1-6, this curriculum introduces the Biblical foundation of  missions. It offers separate Bible lessons for primary (grades 1-2) and middler/junior (grades 3-6). I appreciate that Lesson 1 includes a salvation message and opportunity for children to respond. Each day has a country focus (although not very detailed) with a corresponding snack. Lessons run about 80 minutes and include a Bible session, memory verse, prayer time, international snack, and songs. Optional materials for longer sessions include a brief missionary biography that matches the day’s country focus as well as mission prayer journal activities.

Lesson Overviews:

Day 1: Telling the World: What a Great Commission, India country focus, William Carey

Day 2: Pray Around the World, Burma country focus, Adoniram Judson

Day 3: Missionaries in the Old Testament, China country focus, Hudson Taylor

Day 4: What it Takes to be a Missionary, Bangladesh country focus, Mary Lou Brownell

Day 5: Changed!, Brazil country focus, Ken and Renny Snare

This set comes with a director’s guide, resource CD (student activity materials, 12 songs in mp3 format, art and logos), a world map, and posters. Download samples of the director’s guide and Lesson 1 content here.
