This elementary curriculum is a free download which can help you tell and teach the greatest story ever told. These lesson plans, prepared by children's workers, provide a way for you to follow a redemptive thread of God's Big Story chronologically as you teach 50 Old Testament Bible events. These 50 events are divided into 12 Bible Eras: Creation, Fall, Flood, Babel, Patriarchs, Moses, Joshua, Judges, Monarchy, Division, Exile, and Return. Bible memory activities, Bible learning activities, drama, and a unique activity called "My Story of Hope" will keep kids engaged and learning as you go.

Our desire is that these Bible events from the Old Testament be told and taught to children around the world. So, the curriculum has been provided free of charge. Therefore, we ask that the pictures, artwork, lesson plans, and related materials not be sold or used for profit in any way. Our purpose is simple: to provide for teachers around the world a plan to teach "God's Big Story." When children are exposed to these stories, they can know the truths from God's Word, specifically the truth that God has a plan to redeem men, women, boys, and girls to Himself from eternity past.

All of the stories have redemptive value; they point to the person and work of Jesus Christ. Let the stories develop the plot line as you move through them week by week. "God's Big Story" begins wonderfully, goes terribly wrong, but ends better than one could ever imagine. We are praying that the kids you teach will truly have adventures in this marvelous story of hope and tell their friends the same story.
